In my opinion Zillions is completely out when estimating the value of the Cannon, and other hoppers.It gives the Cannon just a bit lower than the Rook, the Crocodile/Vao than the Bishop, and the Sorceress/Leo than the Queen.
Some interesting numbers at the start of standard chess set on 8x8, if one Rook is successively replaced by a Cannon (XQ type), a Po (Korean cannon from janggi, hops to both move and capture) and a Faro (Argentinian hopper, hops to move and captures as a Rook):
