    We need this camera (large sensor, great zoom function) on our Phablets.
    Just the one. No dualcam/triplecam non-sense. No need for a selfie-cam, use a mirror-back or a small rear screen to frame it or have the screen/camera flip.

    Quality over quantity.

        No viewfinder. :(
        I have a "normal" camera and a compact that I keep in my pocket when for some reasons I can't use my default camera and there are days when I must use its viewfinder, depending on light condition. It's probably the first what I check in specs - does a camera have it or not? Then I check other specs (full manual is important, too) and read reviews and comments. Which is rather silly as it eliminates some great models that just don't have it.

          When I buy a camera I think of these things:
          Ease of use
          Picture quality
          Price.

          I don't want a huge camera and a bag to carry the lenses, just something that delivers good photos (better than phone) with least hassle.

              Jamesschwarz987, 31 Jul 2018Their target are more interested to vlogging by their phone... moreGSMA isn't for reviewing cameras, but there are a couple of sites that do this.

              Sometimes a good point-and-shoot offers a better overall experience than a cheap DSLR.

                A camera with moving parts that no one will complain about. How wonderful. And no one will make fun of you if taking a selfie with this camera rather than a smartphone. All that for just $399.99. Enjoy your camera^^

                              Oh yes, pocket cameras are my favorite type of cellphone.

                                Their target are more interested to vlogging by their phone or maybe their cheap DSLR than this.

                                  SohailSays, 31 Jul 2018Why would you think powershots went off? Lol. I'm still using G7x until now and continued to work as if like a newly released camera since it has no defects.
                                  I'm just surprised that they're still making it for specific people.

                                    how does the Sony RX 100 VI compete with this at 3x prices?

                                      Not a major price hump from the 720, and many great features.

                                      I hope the old model gets a small price cut, as I've had my eyes on that beauty for a while now :)

                                        Geric.770, 31 Jul 2018So this product is still alive. Surprising.Why would you think powershots went off?
