for the G5X if the rumor is true it is very very interesting

G5X = G7X with EVF and perhaps some others improvements...

i hope canon should do it

realy fantastic

And they brought back the fully articulating LCD. Yes! Too bad the G1X Mark II didn't have this. I agree...this does look like a very interesting camera.

The lack of fully articulating LCD was the reason I did not upgrade from my G1X. Now assuming shortest distance macro and responsiveness is like G1X2 or G7X and with the faster lens and 24mm instead 28mm, it is time to consider an upgrade.

Although my G1X is the work horse at the moment because of image quality, I would accept slighty less IQ but get all the mentioned improvements.

However, I hope Canon sqeeze a bit more quality out of the 1 inch sensor than they did with the bigger sensor of the G1X. It seems that Sony is a bit more clever in this regard and are more able to make use of any sensor size.
