Canon Compact Camera Incoming: New PowerShot Due September

Canon Rumors is reporting a new photography-focused PowerShot compact is coming in September, framed as a spiritual successor to the G7 X Mark III but with meaningfully upgraded specs and what the source describes as 'a bunch of new ideas' for the format. No confirmed specs, pricing, or product name yet. The G7 X III has been around since 2019, so a replacement is well overdue, and the compact category has been quietly heating up with Sony's ZV-1 II and Ricoh's GR IIIx already on the market. Worth watching if you shoot run-and-gun or need a pocketable second body.
