Photokina, the gigantic camera tradeshow , is right around the corner and it’s nearly a tradition that Canon unveils the next G series Powershot at the event. CanonRumors just posted the image above, which might be the upcoming G12. Overall the body seems a bit smaller than the G11 primarily because of the deleted viewfinder and the flash now using a pop-up mechanism. Of course this could be a fake as some rangefinder enthusiasts are no doubt hoping, but cameras generally leak these days. (e.g. Nikon D3100, D90 replacement, & Canon 60D) The official word will likely drop before Photokina kicks off on September 21st.
