- SD Card

is this a joke???
i mean, how could they leave other important specs such as Zoom In/Out dial, Battery Lid, and Tripod Hole out?

These are not complete specs, but if it is Digic IV you should have Color Acccent and other Digic IV features. Maybe even your SD card slot :) Lets wait a couple more days.
I’m really looking forward to know more about the D60/7D as I want a camera in that range.

The Color Accent feature seems to matter in Canon compacts now. The SD1200 doesn’t have it, the SD780 does. It’s become a desired feature for the young people.

if the GX1 is true its a good competitor to the 4/3 camera. Even tho its “crippled” by a fixed lens.

i cant say it often enough
they should start thinking about more lenses instead of building cheaper and crappier cams

these “cheaper and crappier cams” pay for your lenses. if Canon eliminated its compact division I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be seeing all the lens updates we’ve seen in the last 5 years … we’d be riding on 80s technology still

DSLR’s are much more profitable than point and shoots. Canon wants to sell a lot of them, not only for profit, but so that owners will move up to DSLR’s where the profit margin is much better. And, of course, they will buy lenses, where profits are higher yet. This is pretty well known and often commented on by experts who do financial reviews of Canon and Nikon.

People always say things like this, as if a company is like an individual that has limited time. No. If a product or division is successful, they hire more people. Reducing development of compacts would cost jobs at Canon, but will *not* increase development of lenses or EOS bodies.

looks like the oled displays are coming, lets hope they live up to their hype.
I was wondering if Canon was going to come out with a touch screen cam.
Gx1 could be a great pocket cam.
must have:
raw!!
wide angle wider than 30mm.
full manual

If it’s a real successor to the G series, I’m sure it’ll have RAW and full manual. I agree that the question is the lens (assuming the rumor specs we do have our accurate.)

Canon did remove raw for one generation.

I think the OLED-thing is BS. Of course OLED is readdy to rock but Canon will never bringt product as one of the first.

Samsung has a P&S with oled, so Canon won’t be first.

What I am hoping from the GX1
-At the very least a 24mm wide lens
-Lens starts at f2.0
-Bulb mode
If it doesn’t have that it looks like I will be getting a LX4/LX3.

So, if I have this correct, Canon are going to introduce a replacement for the G10 with lower resolution (12MP vs 14.7MP) but a larger sensor? I take it that “larger sensor” therefore means physically larger? Therefore the pixel density should be considerably lower than the G10’s 34MP/cm2.
Although I applaud this move, and could even be tempted, it doesn’t strike me as very likely for a company that seems to be fixated on more megapixels as a marketing tool.

@ Me, and only me:
Lets just hope Canon has seen the light :/ I too find this “more megapixels” move from Canon dissapointing.

If they make that sensor as big or close to the 4/3 then I’m interested, otherwise, go back to the drawing board.
How about an articulating screen?

How is the sensor size still such a secret? It’s the most important feature of the G11. It’s what we’re all waiting to hear about.

GX1 seems nice.
Hope that it has a fast lens f/2.5-4.0 or faster would be very good.
