Pretty realistic specs for the upcoming G11
The upcoming G11 is pretty obvious, I think the GX1 rumor has been debunked by now.
G11
12.1mp CMOS (No word on size)
DIGIC IV
3″ LCD (920k)
5x Zoom
720 & 1080p Video (30fps)
Minimal ergonomic updates
Same Battery as G10
Haven't heard whether or not the G11 will be available in a rainbow of colors. :)

I might be interested, but I’m still bubvious about how well the tiny cmos photosites work. Canon’s first P&S had less than spectacular performance. Perhaps we will be seeing the new cmos technology as well.
Dear Canon,
Make this with an APS-C sensor and I will buy it instead of a µ4/3 camera.
Hugs and kisses,
Allan
Here’s hoping for a hot pink one. LOL
Those who know, can you put an APS-C sized sensor in a package that size? Won’t the lens size need to increase. What about the distance from the sensor to the lens? Could the same package be maintained?
I am with Allan. I want a small camera with fixed lens, RAW format and hot shoe that can take XSi quality shots. That would be snapped up by LOTS of photogs. You don’t always want to be hauling around a bag of lenses and body. Many cool shoots are missed because we don’t have a G-series sized camera with us everywhere we go.
P.S.
I had a G9 and dumped it. The IQ was bad and the dynamic range was worse. It could take good pictures only under a very limited range of conditions.
Sigma DP2? 24.2mm f/2.8 prime lens on an APS-C sensor.
