This lot look like a case of look no EVF. Is a long zoom top end without an EVF really going to compete?

This has been mentioned a couple of times before in earlier threads, but the small disclaimer at the bottom of the picture says "some images are for visualization purposes only".
Clearly, the G1 X II and G7 X in that picture are the real camera's, so the disclaimer must mean that the image of the high zoom camera is some sort of mock up. Otherwise there would be no need for a disclaimer. So, I wouldn't base any conclusion upon that picture. It may or may not be the real thing. You'll have to wait until it's announced, whenever that will be.

For those who don't understand Dutch: it's also there on the Canon UK site, which is, indeed, in English.

My prediction is that it will be the s130 with at least an 8X zoom and the old 1/1.7 sensor.
