Well, sounds way too good to be true….
Think about it: If the specs are real, the lens needs to be even bigger than the Sony RX 10, it would be huuuuge. So I think it either is a 1/1.7 inch sensor or a new camera line! Maybe G2X.
It’s a lovely rumor, but I just don’t think it’s possible. The physics of it seem to indicate a much bigger box, so why continue the G name. The G series has always been very rugged but is being outclassed by smartphones.
