Canon didn’t officially announce the PowerShot G3 X this week, but it did make the camera official by confirming that it’s in the works. The new addition to the company’s premium fixed-lens lineup will offer the longest optical range in the G series with a 25x (24-600mm) zoom lens.
Compact cameras with that kind of reach usually have smaller (1/2.3-inch-type) sensors, but this one will pack the same size sensor as Sony’s RX100 and RX10 series cameras. The only similar camera in terms of sensor size and optical zoom is the RX10 itself, and it has a significantly tighter zoom range (8.3X, 24-200mm).
The sensor size and the zoom range are all that have been revealed for now, but there’s a picture that reveals the upcoming camera will have a sizable grip, a dedicated exposure-compensation dial, built-in Wi-Fi and NFC, and an adjustable LCD screen. There’s no release date, no price, and important things like maximum aperture, sensor resolution, and the size of the camera are all still a mystery.
