I don't believe that. That would make them too big.

Not if Canon uses slow lenses. A 15-375mm f5.0-10.0 APS-C lens shouldn't be much bigger than the unit currently in the G3X

And the G3 X is dramatically bigger than both the G7 X and G9 X. My rating for that rumor is "Dumb stuff that somebody made up".

Not necessarily "dumb stuff".  Canon is reusing the same 24MP sensor, DIGIC 7, and 2.36 EVF across several models.  In doing so, Canon may be able to get component costs very close to those with the Sony 1" sensor.  Now build a G3X II with the 24MP sensor and jack the price up to $1,799 solely because it has an APS-C sensor.  Canon will be laughing all the way to the bank.
