Just give me an SX60 with a 50x zoom, Digic 7, and squeeze in a 1" sensor. Thanks.

It will be interesting how they squeeze in the optics. It will be a G3X with double the focal length at full stretch. The aperture if it is say a rather slow f6.3 would still be a hefty 7 cms at the 440mm required. The RX10 IV is 5.5 cms if you want to see how big a lens gets at these apertures and that is f4 at 220mm focal length.

A revival of the 1/1.7" sensor could produce an interesting camera though.

I really don't do lens design but I know what I want and I know Canon can do it.  If the sensor must be 1/1.7" I will accept that.  Small sensors are getting better with the cell phone market driving progress so even the best 1/2.5 sensor will do if really pressed.  Just give me what I want and at a super good price.  Not asking for much.
