Anticipation mounts for a potential new compact camera release by Canon this year, sparking enthusiasm in photographic circles.
In the world of photography, Canon enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the release of the new PowerShot G series compact camera, expected to hit the market possibly in late 2025 or early 2026. According to industry trends and Canon's pattern of announcements, there is speculation about announcements in August or September 2025, with subsequent releases following this timeline.
The new PowerShot G series camera is rumoured to address several user concerns from previous models, such as the PowerShot V1. Key features expected in the upcoming model include an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF), enhanced ergonomics, a sensor and AI/AF technologies, and a zoom lens.
The incorporation of an EVF, which was missing in the PowerShot V1, aims to provide a more comfortable and efficient shooting experience. The design is being refined for better handling and control, potentially including more physical buttons and dials. The new camera is speculated to use a 22 MP, 1.4-inch sensor similar to the PowerShot V1, with advanced AI and autofocus technologies for high-quality image capture. There is a possibility of a zoom lens with a longer focal length range, similar to the PowerShot G7X III's 24–100 mm equivalent lens.
While the exact model name is yet to be confirmed, some sources suggest that the Canon G7X Mark IV could be a top contender in the upcoming G series lineup. The new "G" series PowerShot is rumoured to be Canon's premium flagship compact camera, designed with a focus on photography, not video.
The new "G" series PowerShot is expected to fill a gap in the market for a photography-focused compact camera from Canon. It is also said to be a welcome addition, according to Canon Rumors. The camera is expected to include standard video capabilities, but with a focus on photography performance, in line with the "G" series' tradition in Canon's lineup.
