Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
It looks like Canon may be announcing a true successor to the PowerShot G12 next week prior to Photokina 2012. Recall that the Canon G1 X was announced earlier this year at CES 2012, causing speculation that the G-series may move to a larger sensor format.
The above leaked image appears to confirm, however, that the more compact-oriented camera line will continue with a PowerShot G15. [Read more…]
There have been plenty of rumors lately about Canon’s response to the mirrorless camera systems that every other major manufacturer is cranking out like gangbusters. The most consistent rumor of late seems to be that Canon is working on a sort of “Super G Series” camera(s).
I like it. Here’s why. [Read more…]

The Canon PowerShot G12 is a 10MP point and shoot camera built as a compact camera for the enthusiast photographer. While it’s only a mild upgrade to the Canon PowerShot G11, it does a solid job of improving on an already great design. [Read more…]
Canon has announced two new advanced point and shoot cameras in the PowerShot G12 and PowerShot SX30 IS.
The Canon G12 features a 10MP sensor, 5x optical zoom lens and the ability to capture 720p HD video at 24 fps. Additionally, the G12 offers a sensistivity range of ISO 80-3200, and has a new HDR mode, which allows for multiple shots to be combined into one image. The G12 has a 2.8″ vari-angle LCD at 461k dot resolution.
The Canon G12 should be available in October 2010 at an initial retail price of $499.99. Check availability on Amazon.com.
The Canon SX30 IS is a superzoom camera with a 14.1MP sensor, 2.7-inch vari-angle LCD and a whopping 35x optical zoom lens (24-840mm equivalent). The SX30 IS can capture 720p HD video at 30 fps and offers a sensitivity range of ISO 80-1600.
The Canon SX30 IS should be available in September 2010 at an initial retail price of $429.99. Check availability on Amazon.com.

Just a heads up – I received a tip that the previously leaked Canon G12 should be announced tomorrow. There shouldn’t be any real news about it that we don’t already know – other than the price tag, of course. I don’t expect it to veer too far off of the standard $499 retail price though.
Hopefully, we’ll see the final update on the G12 at midnight. Stay tuned.
Amidst other Canon camera announcements earlier today, the Canon G12 briefly appeared on Cnet Asia. It’s gone from the site now, but the key features and specs are out in the open. [Read more…]
A tipster tells me that Canon will be launching “1 dslr, some lenses and lots of point and shoot” cameras on August 17, which word supposedly comes from a source within Canon.
I don’t think any of this is really groundbreaking as rumors and leaks of the 60D have been flying like crazy lately, and Canon Rumors has pegged the G12, S95, SX30, SX130 and other point and shoots for launch soon.
The date, however, is different than what has previously been mentioned (Aug. 24 or 26). I guess we’ll know Tuesday.
