CR’s Take *UPDATE*
CCD? and no HD Video?

Dropped rating on this one to [CR2]. The source is solid, I just have a lot of issue with the spec list. The sloppy whiteout on the LCD too.

In favor of being true *UPDATE*
I do notice the grip on the front doesn’t match any current G camera. The G7 & G9 didn’t have a large grip and the G10’s grip doesn’t curve down. That would be very fine attention to detail for a hoax.

Pretty realistic specs for the upcoming G11
The upcoming G11 is pretty obvious, I think the GX1 rumor has been debunked by now.

12.1mp CMOS (No word on size)
DIGIC IV
3″ LCD (920k)
5x Zoom
720 & 1080p Video (30fps)
Minimal ergonomic updates
Same Battery as G10

Haven’t heard whether or not the G11 will be available in a rainbow of colors. :)

Quote of the email (I edited some stuff out for source safety)
“I was checking up on some of the entries again and they changed the S90 IS information to be a SD980 IS, it kept the same model of 3635B001 and UPC of 013803116076, it even has the same SKU. The only thing that changed was the brief description to SD980 IS and the in stock date to 11-08-2009 as well as the price to $599.99. I am not sure really what they are up to and am sorry for any confusion. I just figured I would keep you up to date on what I find. If I were to do any sort of interpreting it seems they are entering place holders in the system where the UPC, Model and SKU appear to be the same.”

The email was from the same person.
