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. :)

A 40x zoom, wow!

I just can’t see a 3″ swivel, maybe a tilt, but no swivel.
yeah that’s why Canon had a whole customer survey focused on the swivel screen a few months back, clearly they couldn’t make one anyone would want…and boy, sure wish you would’ve told me it’s an extra thing to break a few years ago, my kids have been using my old PowerShot G1 with it’s apparently breakable swivel screen all that time, and it’s gotta be pushing 8-9 years old now. Funny how it’s taken more abuse and outlasted any other P&S I’ve ever had…
TBH, I read G11 and GX1 (or GXI) as being one and the same thing, perhaps with the names reflecting different ways of writing ’11’. From that perspective, the GX1 hasn’t been debunked, it’s simply now the G11. Any differences in specs simply reflect the real value of rumors, especially when they don’t come from a solid source.
I was happy with 1.5″ of the A80, but it broke down (the sensor, not the screen) after the A650IS disappeared from the shops and I’m left without a real replacement: SX10 is too big and the image quality is bad, GH1 is big as well and too expensive.
