I saw 5 cameras released, but none mentioned sensor size and nothing about an enthusiast 1" sensor. So we can assume that it won't be released anytime soon? Or more to come? Seems they'd announce all at the same time. Maybe the SX710 is the grote zoom?

The SX710 is certainly not the grote zoom. It offers nothing worth upgrading over the existing SX700.

Canon needs to announce something. I'm seriously considering the FZ1000. Canon should announce this new grote zoom as well as an upgrade to the S120, eg. a 24-240 constant f/2.8 pocket cam with a good quality 1/1.7" sensor. Olympus has shown it can be done. I hope Canon isnt sleeping.

edit: hmm maybe not. 5.6cm thick (Stylus 1) is a bit too thick for a pocket..
