[Canon Rumors]

Lots coming A lot of new PowerShots are coming next week according to one source. Below are the confirmed models.

• A2300
• A2400
• A3400
• A4000
• A810
• D20
• Elph 320
• SX240

I did receive other models in the list that already existed, so I removed them. The camera of note in the list is the PowerShot D20. I’d assume that’s a followup for the waterproof oddity that was the D10.

The D10 wasn't an oddity! It was awesomeness in an awesome blue oddly-shaped box! And waterproof to pretty deep! I have awesome pictures from a coral reef in the keys I used it to get pictures of. The only problem with it was the maddening shutter lag (compared to a 7D...)... I am spoiled. I need to shut up and pony over for the ikelite housing...

[CrimsonBlue]

Agreed -- the D10 was an amazing camera and was truly waterproof to serious depths.  Most other "waterproof" cameras are such to 10ft, but that is useless for recreational diving. 

Bring on the D20 with 1080p video!  The D10 had something like 640x480...not great, but a steal at its price point.

what the world needs... more P&S cameras...

More Powershots? Yaaay!
Now I can replace my old crapy powershot from last year with a brand new model, and take wayyyyyy better photos!   



Seriously, why not just announce the 5D3 that we have all been waiting for? Like since end of 2010..

Yikes!  Meanwhile Nikon should be making some real announcements...Oh come-on Canon, stop making us wait so much!  Give us some real meat!

Put me down for a D20 for sure, I've been waiting for it to arrive for almost two years now.

OFF:
All i ask is: "Where the hell is the 650D???"  . Everything is (too) quiet...

[K-amps]

Underwater/low temperature/fall resistant category is the only one I use besides my D5 Mk II. And I was waiting for the next version, since the D10 is really old. I'm tempted to go with the new Panasonic. But I'll wait for them.
If you have to have one camera for vacations, and or following kids through the beach, or when going to ski, this is the sort of camera to have. Very important in my opinion.

I wonder how well the SX260 will do in low light... it has a focal length of 3.5 . Isn't that too low for say a dark conference hall?

[Mt Spokane Photography]

In their end of fy 2011 report, Canon said compact camera sales were slow except for emerging technology (their term for mirrirless?), and demand for DSLR's was increasing.

OK, Everybody "I Demand a DSLR"
