I just ran across an article on how camera makers are concentrating so much on mirrorless systems, yet what many users (particularly novices to intermediate shooters) want is compact models.

I agree in the sense that if Canon came out with a PowerShot SX750HS, I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

I’ve had 720HS and 730HS models for years, and love the 40X optical zoom in a small body that fits in a cargo pant or jacket pocket.

I carry the 730HS all the time. Yes, I have DSLRs and mirrorless cameras for nature, wildlife, and documentary work, but I’m not going to be always carrying them.

I’ve been looking around to see if I could snag a 740HS (the latest in the series) and they are either all gone, or if you can track down a new one, they are selling for as much as 3X – 4X their original list price. That ought to tell Canon something.

Release an SX750HS with a better sensor (particularly in low light), upgrade the software, keep the 40X optical zoom. . . and I’m sold.
