Upcominng G5X, a great promise!
2

Can't wait to get one of these! Finally a portable camera, which I genuinely "likely will like". Last time that I liked what I got from Canon was the G12, and than... came nothing what I wanted to have from them.  If the rumor is correct, this new design is perfect. The sensor, its contemporary resolution, the tilt/swivel LCD monitor, and... yes!! the viewfinder, apparently with eye-detector.  Its surely its an EVF, but these made so much progress in terms of refresh-rate and brightness, that we can surely call an optical viewfinder, like in a G12, a thing of a past. Will 'eat' more battery charge, but if the time to readiness after power-on will be around 1/10 sec, I can live with that.As it seems someone at Canon listens to their customers, I am really excited to get one of these for street and event photography. Lets see how the AF and shot-to-shot times will look like.
