Re: Updated Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III Specifications
This was always going to be the danger of going to a full aps-c sensor in the G1X series. I've always been a fan of this camera, but much of its ability in providing "dslr" quality in a power shot came from the fact the sensor is slightly smaller. If you look at the capabilities of a camera such as the G3X, they come from the small sensor.
I don't see the point of the G1XIII being a fixed lens M5 unless that fixed lens is stellar and significantly faster than the M series kit lens. The trouble is that means it's likely to grow in size.
