Imaging Resource has updated its vast preview of the Powershot G1 X with with print quality iso crop analysis. The G1 X is being compared to the Canon G12, Canon T3i, Olympus E-P3, Nikon J1, and Sony NEX-5N. Guess what camera comes on top? 

"In a change from the control arrangement of the Canon G12, the exposure compensation dial of the G1 X sits under the exposure mode dial on the top-plate. On the G12, this space is occupied by the sensitivity (ISO) control. 

Actually, this is a OSX Lion ONLY update. "Supports Mac OS X 10.6.8 to 10.7"

'So far' until the Fujifilm X-Pro1 gets the DXO treatment of course, that camera can look at a full framer right in the eye.  Quick notes: It trumps

the Nikon 1 system by far and large, every m43 camera except for the Panasonic GX1, and in turn gets trampled on by both Sony NEXes and every current aps-c DSLR:

Back in the day we used to call'em 'white papers' even if they came in all sorts of colors. Once we we're done with'em we used'em to roll some wacky tobacky, or do our business in the outhouse if you know what i mean. There's also a white paper  technical report on S100 at the same site (Canon camera museum..why do the keep their freshest stuff in a museum?) if anyone is into that sort of thing.

Can the much delayed mirrorless system, or for that matter, the much delayed almost anything, have to do with this? P.S to Reuters: Canon does not only compete with Nikon and Sony in the camera market, but with a hooplah of other companies too that slowly eat into its profits, like  Olympus, Panasonic, Fujifilm et al. 

Canon Rumors has just updated this info to [cr2] If i remember correctly, the majority of rumors rated as such come true. Specs listed so far: 22mp, 61pt AF, 7.5fps, DIGIC 5+, New Battery Grip with Joystick, and GPS Ready. I think we can readily disregard the 7.5fps thing and replace it with some other cool new feature, after all we're talking about Canon here: So far history has shown us that they prefer to lose market share to

Will Canon ever release a compact camera system? Yes, they pretty much have to. In the meantime they stuffed an aps-c sensor in some oversized g12ish body, and came up with this:

"Shots taken at high ISO settings were consistently clean and noise-free up to

"I know that on paper this is a crazy comparison.  It’s also not fair in that we have two very different sensors, one, a 21 mega pixel full frame at the end of it’s 3+ year life cycle and the other about a quarter of the size and which is not even 10 months into its own.  Well, these are the two

"Canon are developing their own RAW codec for 2K and 4K video. In a patent filed in July 2010 and published yesterday, Canon describe a codec which stores raw sensor data from a 12bit high resolution RGB sensor with Bayer colour filter array.

"Once again, we've been told (thanks) that the only Canon DSLR for CP+ will be the 650D/T4i and that the 5D3 won't be announced until after the 1D X ships... 

The documentary "Hell and back again", shot by Danfung Dennis caused quite a stir in the Dslr (and not) shooting circles. This marks the very first time a film shot with a dslr gets an Academy Award nomination. A brief synopsis of the film:

Funny? Maybe. Makes a valid point about Canon slowly shooting itself in the foot? Yes.

"The 1DX isn’t even available yet and already I’m starting to get tired of all the stupid questions people are sending in to me. One of the things people keep whining about is why the Nikon D4 has a headphone jack and the 1DX doesn’t have one. What kind of a stupid question is that? I

"In my analysis, it looks like a Canon EOS 7D mk II — most of the buttons on the back and top match the current 7D… the thing that is baffling to most people is the lack of popup flash seen – which is why many are saying this is the Canon EOS 5D Mark III – but I seriously doubt it – unless they’ve abandoned much of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II setup.

"I'm currently on a shoot in Kenya, Africa, and I ran into a Japanese man sporting some gear I didn't recognize. While his English was very limited, I was able to confirm that he works for Canon and is doing in-field testing with the new Canon 200-400mm with built-in teleconverter. He

"Video with the lens can be interesting. Side moving objects go from small to large in the middle to small again and it can be a bit odd for some viewers. Images shot straight forward, backward or straight up give a good full view of the action. For some additional tips on shooting with this

"The GX1 features the micro four thirds lens mount and sensor, in this case a 16 megapixel live MOS sensor and Venus Engine processor. The camera has a 160-12800 ISO sensitivity range, and as with all Four Thirds/Micro Four Thirds system cameras a 2x crop factor

"Now $15,999 remember only matters to owners. As an ownership prospect the Alexa would be poor value as well, for anyone without the business model to earn their $75,000 back from it. But I suspect Canon have their eye firmly on the rental and broadcast market with the C300,

"One thing I did find with the 5D Mark II is that if you are modifying a colour image to black and white in post, don’t just reduce saturation on all channels. You need to handle the red channel separately and actually I had to resort to Photoshop for the above frame and change the influence

"he Canon lens most comparable to the Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC Lens is the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens. The Canon's advantages include modestly lighter weight, better AF accuracy, less vignetting and less pincushion distortion through 200mm. 

"The confirmation comes as Canon is heavily promoting its Cinema EOS C300 camera to the European market, which, despite its fragmentation, is home to the world's largest filmmaking community. "It's always difficult to address a fragmented market when launching a new product," says

"Today we would like to show You additional sample shots taken with the new Canon PowerShot G1 X compact camera. The samples are JPEG files with the lowest level of sharpening and the lowest level of compression. We also present two sample movies. Enjoy!"

"As perhaps one of the most exciting announcements to come out of CES, the Fuji X-Pro 1 is, without a doubt, one of the most-highly-anticipated cameras announced. After loads of leaks on the internet, it was only a matter of time until the company decided to go public to journalists waiting

"We've spent a couple of days shooting with a pre-production Canon PowerShot G1 X. We've prepared a 30 image gallery, shot in a range of lighting conditions and using a variety of focal lengths, ISO settings and apertures, in addition to the studio examples we've already posted. The

"I only wish the S100 was faster. All around, it felt a tick quicker than the S95 but nothing dramatic—and that camera as well as its predecessor was notoriously slow. It took the S100 nearly 2.5 seconds to start up, extend its 5x lens and be ready to take a picture. That’s actually slower than

"When it becomes available (expected in Feb 2012), I intend to complete a full Canon PowerShot G1 X review - taking an especially close look at the image quality this large-sensored, pro-grade point and shoot camera can deliver. I'm expecting this camera to become my choice

As always, everything above iso 1600 is of special interest :)  The quality of those images are well on par or above all Canon cropped DSLRs, including the 7D:

"We've spent a bit more time with the Canon PowerShot G1 X, and will be publishing a samples gallery from a pre-production camera in the near future. In the meantime, we've taken the chance to expand our preview based on our further experience and some real-world shooting with the

"I never thought I'd say this about a little camera, but the S100 is actually a viable choice for low-light photography. The photo above is a quarter of the original frame, although still massively downsized; here is a version that's about 50%. It clearly has some issues, but it was taken at
