Some days ago I posted a download link for a brochure entitled ”Story of the PowerShot G1 X Mark II Development”. The brochure gives an interesting insight into the design and development philosophy Canon embraced for the new Powershot G1 X II. The G1 X II can be pre-ordered for $799 and is expected to ship in April-May 2014.
The brochure contains a detail that confirms a rumor I posted back in November 2013, i.e. that Canon is not interested in retro design for their cameras. On page 14 of the brochure you can read that…
currently there is a trend towards designing premium compact cameras like classic cameras. However, Canon has kept its distance from this trend. As a result, the design is not pretentious, and it also does not look like a so-called compact camera, and achieves a great balance between traditional and new.

About development and planning of the Powershot G1X Mark II:
The planning and development of the PowerShot G1 X Mark II has been achieved through the efforts of a large team at Canon’s Headquarters in Japan. Their words have been edited to provide a fascinating insight in to the development of this remarkable camera.
Photographers and survey results from users provided a vast amount of feedback, and Canon’s engineers improved everything they could. A lot of requests were regarding macro performance, and the minimum focusing distance has been improved from 20 cm to 5 cm. Autofocus is also approximately twice as fast by improving the optics and sensor. Particularly difficult adjustments were necessary for the optics, but if these high ideals could not be achieved, this would not be a flagship model. The enthusiasm of the Canon engineers drove these developments, and, as a result, a shooting range that would not be possible with an SLR with just one interchangeable lens has been achieved.
