Don't expect Canon to come out with any retro-styled cameras. According to a brochure on the design process that went into the recently released Canon G1 X Mark II, the company prefers function to form, which is why it has 'kept its distance' from the retro design movement.

Canon's mirrorless attempts haven't gone all that well. But where they've struck out in the mirrorless game, their large-sensor G1 X compact announced at CES 2012 has done quite well. Now, for this year's CP+, Canon has updated the powerful compact by releasing the even more capable G1 X Mark II.
