According to latest rumors Canon G17 may arrive soon with large 1″ sensor and 7X optical zoom lens, take a look at the leaked spec below,
Canon G17 Leaked Specification
- 24-168mm

If the specification is correct then the size of the camera will be bigger than the current Canon G16 camera, possibly similar to current Canon G1X Mk II camera or bit less than that, The camera is expected to arrive at the end of Q2 of this year, however at the end… It’s good to see that camera manufactures putting a lot of attention in professional compact camera section.

How reliable is this rumor vs the others? How many times have we been promised a G17 that has not shown up?
If this rumor is correct, and that it has a GOOD electronic viewfinder ala Panasonic LX100, it would be a winner for me. Having the possibilities of more zoom reach but still with lot of light gathering would be awsome. So Canon, give us a dual control, good viewfinder and some very good 1080p video at around 800-900 US $ !
