The Evolution of the Powershot G
I received an email that Canon does indeed have an APS-C sized sensor “G” camera being tested/developed.

We know a CMOS based G series camera with a larger sensor is coming. The source said we may not see this type of camera until Photokina 2010.

I would have brought the G10 if it had HD video. The lens was right on the G10 28mm to 140mm. It was an all purpose lens for everything but no HD video.
Now for the G11 if they put a max zoom of 70mm, it lacks the zoom range of the G10 of 140mm.
The G11 would be nice if the had the same G10 lens of 28mm to 140mm and just added HD video.
Don’t forget the existence of rechargable AA batteries! ;)
Sounds fishy to me too, but I hope it’s true.
a camera like this would generate a heap of publicity and reasonable sales.
Hopefully enough sales to pay for itself.
24-70mm please don’t. Or at least make a camera that will be a worthy successor to my G7. I’d buy SX200 right now, but it has no exposure bracketing.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but the Pannie LX3 has a 24MP/cm^2 density. That’s way more than this purported Canon. I expect that the Canon would cost significantly more too, so it seems like the new Oly Pen or the Sigma DP2 would be competing with this…..if it ever exists….
