<p><strong>Canon PowerShot G1X
</strong>Canon U.S.A. is unveiling two PowerShot Elph-series point-and-shoot cameras and a new flagship Power-Shot G-series model. The G1X (shipping in February at a $799 suggested retail) will be positioned for advanced amateurs and professionals looking for a walk-around point-and-shoot model and offers a large 1.5-inch 14.3-mega-pixel CMOS image sensor and a 4x (28-112mm) optical zoom lens.</p>
<p>It is said to have a shallow depth of field and an aperture range of F/2.5-16 affording better low-light capability.</p>
<p>Other new features include 14-bit RAW file support, a new DIGIC 5 image processor with improved low-light support, high-speed burst HQ shooting of up to 6fps/4.5 fps at full resolution, multi-area white balance adjustment, expanded Smart Auto settings, child-weighted face detection system, handheld night scene and HDR mode.

<p><!--more--><strong>Update #3
</strong>I’m told the url and posting are 100% legit. There’s still some discrepancy in the sensor size, but we’ll see soon enough. I’m trying to hunt down an official Canon release.</p>
<p><strong>Update #2
</strong>The URL of the original leak has brought about some questions. It’s actually from mworld.com and not wellsfargoadvisors.com.</p>
<p>We’ll try to substantiate the information.</p>
<p><strong>Update on sensor size
</strong>Most people seem to think the sensor size is actually 1/1.5″, which is smaller than the Nikon 1.</p>
<p>*<em>Thanks John</em></p>
