The Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II is finally on the way
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I think the G series is safe for a while. Product cycles are much longer now and there is still a market for cameras like this. Boomers love them and vloggers/travellers love the smaller G7 style cameras.

Since the shrinking market and volume for fixed compact camera trend to continue I think G7&G9x should be merge just into G7xm3 and the next to be announce G5X should have longer lens design given it's body and form should able to easily fit in it and the super long 1inch G3X rarely has any market left where their own SX series can easily overtake it in term of range or price except the trade off is smaller sensor size and image quality.

The reports of the demise of the Gx series have been greatly exaggerated.
Seriously, legitimate zoom, and a sensor that is 116 mm3 (1" sensor in most of the series) vs miniscule to no zoom and a sensor that was increased in size all the way to 16.8 mm2 (iPhone XS).
The G series isn't going any where.

The G7x and G5x Cameras are amazingly powerful, compared to a standard APSC DSLR with a kit lens. Yes, the sensory are smaller but the brighter lenses compensate for it. for users who not need other than the kit lenses, they are valuable alternatives. Marketed properly, there should be a market for them.
maybe the manufacturers like better that the customers buy a DSLR in the hope that some customers get infected by GAS

I like my G5X but
- auto focus could be better (smaller af point, better in low light)
- the EVF is too contrasty for my taste and not bright enough in daylight (yes, I mean the EVF)
- it doesn't have picture styles (which the G7X II has) which leaves you with a fixed, too sharp video image.
If these points will be enhanced, I'll surely replace my old one.

There is demand for quality compacts. After G7 X mark II and G9 X mark II were released the sale of compact cameras rose first time since 2010. Last year when Canon had really nothing new besides the expensive G1 Mark III sale again dropped.
