Canon Powershot G10 with fast lens (F2.0)

In our previous Canon Powershot G10 predictions, some fellow users mentioned about the desire to have the next generation Canon G10 including a faster lens.

In the old days of Canon G6, you still get a fast lens (F2.0 to F3.0). But when Canon moved to G7, they decided to increase the zoom range from 35-140mm to 25-210mm. Because of that, they are forced to make a slower lens (F2.8 to F4.8) out of that. Here is a comparison between G6 and G7:

To a lot of G-series fans, that's a big disappointment. This has probably forced a lot of users to start buying D-SLR instead. Canon probably wanted that outcome. But as a camera user, I would love to see the next G10 with a fast lens (F2.0 for the wide angle range).

Do you think it will happen?

    As G7 I have, i think it's enough for normally trip shoot. with a replacement battery like this:

    I suspect Canon is trying to make its G-series less powerful especially in terms of lens and sensor quality. At the same time put a lot of features in the little machine. The purpose of the G-series is to let pro-sumer market "test-drive" the advanced camera features. If they like it, then Canon can make big bucks from its EOS D-SLR line.
