A Canon surprise - the Powershot G1 X compact camera
Canon has surprised many with their announcement of the G1 X, an iteration of their very successful G range that are very popular with underwater photographers. In what appears to be a contrarian move, they have adopted a large sensor (similar to what the mirrorless cameras are doing) but without the SLR type ability to change lenses.
The Canon G1 X is a fixed lens camera with a 14.3 megapixel sensor similar to that of the EOS 600D. In addition, it is equipped with a DIGIC-5 image processing engine and native ISO range of up to 12800 that will ensure fast processing and a good low-light ability, However, unlike other similar cameras, the camera has a built-in zoom lens with a focal range of 28 to 112mm, with IS vibration reduction and a 3 stop ND filter. The G1X will also record 1080p movies at 24fps and Canon has also announced the WP-DC44 waterproof case for the camera.
Retail price is $799 and it is expected to be available from late February.
