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.

I'm rather unimpressed myself. Nothing to compete with RX10/FZ1000. I'm probably going with G7X. S120 is falling apart (had a bad falls, LCD cracked but usable, auto focus seems to be off). G7X down to $500 on eBay now.
