Canon Powershot G17 To Be Announced Soon? (and leaked spec list)

Powershot G17
The Canon Powershot G16

One of the compact cameras Canon is expected to announce in the next time is the replacement of the Powershot G16 (price & specs), supposedly named Powershot G17.

A rumor surfaced on the web stating that Canon will announce the Powershot G17 during May 2014. That means less than a year after the announcement of the Powershot G16. Unusual but not implausible.

A short specification list also came with the rumor. The Powershot G17 could have the following specs:

  • A 24-200mm f/1.4-2.0 lens
  • A new developed 1″ Sensor
  • an all magnesium body with comfortable grip
  • DIGIC 6 CPU

At least the f/1.4-2.0 lens is an exciting news.
