Canon G9 discontinued – introducing the GX

After the success of my prediction earlier in the year about the imminent arrival of a successor to Canon’s 5D you’ll be forgiven if I find you taking this announcement with more than a pinch of salt.

However, I have it on good authority that Canon’s G9 point-and-shoot is to be discontinued and a successor will be announced in the autumn.

Probably.

The “GX” name is a figment of my imagination although I think it looks good and hope Canon go with it for the new model.

I understand that you might not have too much faith in my predictions about Canon’s new models after the 5D fiasco but take a look at the B&H web site before you curse me.

Oh, and about that 5D replacement, that’s definitely coming in the autumn along with a replacement for the 24mm TS-E lens amongst other things.

Remember, you heard it here first.
