What’s up everyone—today I’m breaking down the CP+ 2026 leaks out of Yokohama, and yeah… the Canon G7 X Mark IV is finally looking real. Compact cameras are back in a big way, but the tech has been stuck in the past. The big shift here is that this isn’t just “Mark III with a new sticker.” Canon’s own exec VP of imaging, Go Takura, basically confirmed they’re moving away from polishing old tech and targeting a new compact audience: vloggers, travelers, and creators who want legit performance in a pocketable body. On the rumor side, the G7 X Mark IV is being tipped for a late 2026 release with a 20MP+ stacked sensor and true 4K 60fps—finally. The other headline is AI-driven autofocus potentially trickling down from the EOS R series, which is exactly the kind of sticky, reliable eye tracking that actually matters when you’re shooting real life and don’t get a second take. I also talk about a wider compact refresh: a PowerShot V10 Mark II possibly arriving sooner, plus whispers of a V3/V100 and even an APS-C compact with a crazy 20x zoom (around 24–500mm equivalent). Bottom line: Canon sees the demand, sees people paying over MSRP for old models, and they’re gearing up for a real PowerShot redemption arc.
