Non, no, it's not a rumor...

I just wanted to ask if you Canon boys know about a successor of the G16 with an EVF?

I don't buy a camera with no VF.

But the G-series does have a viewfinder.  Check out the info on this website.

Nikon has put an EVF in the P7800, which is an excellent camera, but painfully slow...

The G16 is much faster, smaller, with similar image quality, but with a poor OVF. I know what I mean, I had a G11, with I loved very much, except for its OVF.

A G16 with and EVF would be a superb camera for travelling.

Don't see it happening with Canon keeping the G15/16 small and it really isn't the style of camera that you'd want to use a viewfinder on.  The OVF is great when days are very bright and contrasty.  EVFs have poor dynamic range so the view of an EVF in bright sunlight won't be pleasiing to see what is actually in front of you ulike the OVF.
