Limited Edition PowerShot Cameras Coming

[MrFotoFool]

For a limited edition, the prices seem pretty reasonable.  I personally think the G16 with the gold ring and dial look pretty cool.  I would probably get this version if I was in the market for one, but I am happy with the (299 deal) EOS M white with pancake for my point and shoot.  And yes, one of the reasons I jumped on that special was because it was available in the white version.  (And as for the other technology analogies mentioned, believe or not I do not own a cell phone or a television).

Powershots?

I want a gold 1DX with red snakeskin grips and a silver chain neckstrap. Oh and a matching platinum plated 24-70 f/2.8 II

Don´t waste your money for limited editions.

My 2c are on Canon knowing there are enough people who want to own those P&S to make the edition profitable. As it has zero R&D cost, I say good for Canon.

And I agree Canon MILCs are not as impressive as Sony's.

I have to agree with the many posters on here lamenting this announcement.  Yes, Canon has some great products and we want to see more of them.  But nobody wants to see blinged-up point and shoots. 

And yes, it is doubly embarrassing for Canon that this comes while Sony is releasing a new full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens camera that will doubtless sell very well.

Don't like blingblings, but thats just me.
If someone buys them, its ok.
