I guess it’s pretty much it when it comes to “conventional” Powershot cameras because phone cameras are getting better and better. It’s irreversible. We can see that with new unconventional Powershot products such as the PX and the ZOOM. I’m hoping for the G1X line to be the exception because it offers superior image quality thanks to its larger sensor, making it a light option for serious enthusiasts and travellers.

But Powershot means it has to be compact. I’m not sure how much Canon can improve on the G1X Mark III and keep it “pocketable”. Is it enough in today’s market to update the same camera with the newer processor and release it? Probably not. Perhaps in the future, with more applied patents, we will see ways to improve on lenses and cameras and keep them very compact, but that won’t be in a near future I imagine. But hope I’m wrong. At the same time I hope I am because I don’t want to see my G1X III being supplanted.

No perfect gear out there. Just be happy with what you have and go shoot.
