Updated PowerShot G1 X II Specs

shotshaper said:
Point and shoot with f/2.8-3.9 ??? and with this size?
I use the g15 next to 5 Mark III and 1dx, I would love to upgrade from g15 to digic6 but in lag of having no 1.8 apperture??? Noooo....
Digic6, workable iso 1600; 24,25,26,27,28 - 130/140/150; hot shoe attached; tight and perfect feel of body; what else do you need?

How about a sensor six times as big?

If the pictures on PR are correct, this is an incredibly disappointing downgrade in terms of user interface. One dial plus a mode dial? Seriously? That's entry level compact camera controls. I suppose that if the rings on the lens were programmable (assuming they are control rings), you could use them, but I still think that at least one of the "holy trinity" of settings would need to be allocated to that cheap and nasty rear control dial. It is also incredibly disappointing that this camera does not have a decent EVF and that the rear LCD takes up so much real estate for its screen size; let's hope it has the Sony/Olympus style hinge rather than the side mounted Panasonic/current Canon style.
