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

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.

that and built-in projectors are the bomb at raves

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?

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

Canon did remove raw for one generation.

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.

@ Me, and only me:

Lets just hope Canon has seen the light :/ I too find this “more megapixels” move from Canon dissapointing.

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.)

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.

still DIGIC IV…

-CMOS sensor
-1080p video
-OLED screen

the other seem to similar to G10…

give me f/2.0~~~

althrough i’m looking forward to 60D to replace my G10

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.
