Canon set to announce the PowerShot SX740 HS soon

canon rumors canon full frame mirrorless

According to always reliable Nokishita, Canon will announce the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS soon.

The Canon PowerSho SX740 HS already leaked through a wireless communication authority, the announcement may come in the next weeks and not later than end of August 2018.

We expect Canon  to announce various new gear ahead of Photokina 2018. Among the new gear we are confident to see the EOS M5 Mark II (if it will have this moniker). Also on the list are new lenses, among them most likely a fast 50mm equivalent prime lens for the EOS M system (32-35mm).

And then there is what I consider the most abused Canon rumor since I started this site: the Canon full frame mirrorless camera all of us are eagerly awaiting. There is a reasonable chance that Canon might announce one of the (supposedly) two full frame mirrorless cameras. Unfortunately, a lot of confusion and misunderstanding has been created around Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera, and speculations go wild.

However, Photokina 2018 is getting closer and is an important stage for Canon to showcase new products. We will soon have more leaks.

More to come…

Well, there re some good points here. The highlights on the PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera are the APS-C sensor, Dual Pixel AF, and the rest of the bells and whistles. Canon made a very good product here.

More possible Canon PowerShot announcements ahead of Photokina 2018 [CW2]

We got some more bits about Canon’s agenda for Photokina 2018, along with the rumor about the Canon EOS M5 Mark II.

Canon might announce also two PowerShot cameras around September 2018.

  • A premium, travel oriented PowerShot SX740, featuring a 40x zoom, raw file format and GPS
  • The PowerShot G7X III, with a new 1″ sensor manufactured by Canon, Dual Pixel AF, 4K, and again GPS

We feel more confident about the Canon EOS M5 Mark II rumor than on this. Time will tell.

Stay tuned.

Possible Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III specifications surface

A list off supposed specifications for the upcoming Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III surfaced over the web.

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III may have the following specifications:

  • 24.1mp 1″ CMOS sensor
  • 10fps
  • DIGIC 8
  • 24-100mm f/1.8-f/2.8 Lens (4.2x Optical Zoom)
  • 3″ Articulating Touchscreen
  • 4K Video at 30fps
  • 1080p Video at 60fps
  • Built in Wi-Fi, NFC & GPS
  • Announcement: 2018
  • No mention about DPAF for 4K video.

Looks a bit like wish-list to me. Also it’s somewhat hard to think that Canon will feature 4K on a PowerShot, given how reluctant they were to put it on consumer models. All in all it looks a bit to feature rich for a PowerShot camera.

An announcement towards Q4 2018 may be realistic. There is Photokina in September and Canon won’t miss this stage if they have something important or just new to display.

Stay tuned.
