PowerShot Cameras / Canon Powershot S105 (S100 replacement)

« on: August 04, 2012, 07:37:38 AM »

Is this the camera expected to be announced later this month with the f/1.9 lens?  After the G1X and now the S100 problems, Canon needs this one to be a hit.

That is not true.

  But the rest (including the S100) come from Sony.

PowerShot Cameras / S105 the Next RX100?

So is this "small camera with an f/1.9 lens" Canon's answer to the RX100?

Canon's definition of small typically would be the S100 size camera which is due for replacement the next couple of months.  Typically it is announced around this time.  Given all the changes in this class, going from a f/2.0 to a f/1.9 would make sense.

Nobody should be beating themselves up over a 16-35mm L purchase; dollars to donuts it's going to be like the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and be both overly expensive and drive the price of the older model up briefly after announcement.

Is the "small camera with an f/1.9 lens." the S100 replacement?

I hope not, I just bought one  

Small is relative as well.  A g12 is small by some people's standards.

What I want to know is, why no new calculators Canon?
