The pricing also makes sense if you look at the market as a whole. Sony is getting $999 for their RX100 V and Canon likely thinks this new camera is better. Also, Nikon is completely MIA in the mirrorless and high end compact segments. With no pricing pressure from any competitors, Canon is tying to exploit the market while they can.

One might also buy a Canon G7XII for half the price. In terms of APSC, it is somewhat like 14-62 / 3-4.7. Half the price, faster, half the size.

Or a LX100, which more like 15-47/2.4-3.9. Half the price as well, much faster and very convenient with a fast AF even in low light (did I mention the EVF ?).

Sony wise, there are very competent models yet much cheper than the RX100V.

At this price, the G1XIII cannot be a 2.8/5.6.

15-45mm / 2.8-5.6

I was wrong, like many here. I think that we even couldn't believe that Canon could perform such a fail. I can imagine the marketting teams stating "big sensor = low noise" but selling that for $1300 is really deeply dishonest.
