Equipped with a 24mm wide-angle and bright F2.0 lens, this shooter can take expansive landscape shots easily. Meanwhile, a 5x optical zoom and image stabilization function helps minimize camera shake for close ups. Handy creative filters, such as toy camera, miniature and monochrome effects, are available too, providing a special touch for the images without using photo-editing software. Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity also lets users wirelessly transfer or post the shots on social-networking sites. The Canon PowerShot S200 will be available in Singapore around mid-January.

The hell? 720p????
|
even the 10.1mp bugs me. having used 20+ mp cameras for a while now, I'm really spoiled by the real estate and cropping room offered. They could have at least had it like, 12mp.
|
:rofl:
|
ok so, I'm seeing that the S200 is for Asia markets only.
The S120 by comparison has 12.1mp and 1080p video. It's easy to assume the S200 is the next model after the S120, I guess not. |

Magic Lantern increases Canon 5D III dynamic range JANUARY 22, 2014 THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE FOLLOW ON OUR FORUM Magic Lantern has long been a fan favourite to “unleash” the features of Canon cameras we wish they had. Lately this has included pushing what we can get out of the sensor. As reported on Planet 5D: “Tests have been done by ‘Marsu42’ of CanonRumors, which show numbers of up to 15 stops of DR when using this feature combined with the ‘dual_iso’ module that Magic Lantern already includes in their nightly builds.” Marsu42 said: This means that for example on 5d3, iso 800 with ML has more dynamic range than iso 100 with Canon :-> … and at high iso you’re getting 7% more dr which is nothing to sneeze at, esp. since it builds upon Canon‘s advantage vs. Nikon: d800@6400 = ~8.3 & 5d3@6400 = ~9.4 ev. According to sensorgen.info the 6d should add another 2/3 stop (once the code is adapted for it) making good ol’ Canon the superior sensor for low light high contrast shooting. Since this is a new software update I’d recommend you proceed with caution, however, these are exciting results for both stills and video shooters! Dang 15stop DR :drool: |
Yeap, always sad when someone else makes your equipment better.....

http://4.static.img-dpreview.com/fil...9870593804.jpg Press Release: CANON U.S.A. INTRODUCES THE POWERSHOT G1 X MARK II DIGITAL CAMERA FEATURING ENHANCED OPTICS, WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY AND CREATIVE SHOOTING OPTIONS FOR PROFESSIONALS AND PHOTO ENTHUSIASTS Canon’s Latest G-series Digital Camera Features a New Type of 1.5-Inch CMOS Sensor, 5x Zoom Lens, Wi-Fi and NFC Capabilities, Full HD and A Three-Inch Touch Tilt LCD Screen MELVILLE, N.Y., February 11, 2014 – Building upon the success of the PowerShot G1 X digital camera, Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today unveiled its new flagship PowerShot G1 X Mark II, a digital camera designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s professional and advanced amateur photographers. Boasting a sensor that is 4.5x larger than a 1/1.7” sensor found in professional level point-and-shoot cameras, the PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera can produce high-quality images with a wide dynamic range. It features a new type of 1.5-inch, 12.8 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor, made by Canon, allowing for optimum performance with an ISO range of 100-12800. This sensor, combined with the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, comprises the Canon HS SYSTEM resulting in faster autofocusing speeds over the PowerShot G1 X camera, allowing photographers to capture detailed, vivid images even in low-light conditions. Featuring a newly-developed f/2.0 – f/3.9, 5x optical zoom lens (equivalent 24-120mm zoom range) with Dual Control Rings, this new camera provides customized zooming and focus-functionality similar to a DSLR camera. With this wide of an aperture, photographers have the ability to isolate their subjects by separating them from a background that is blurred. This gives more control and creative possibilities when using a PowerShot camera. The Dual Control Rings include a Step Ring to adjust various customizable settings and a Continuous Ring to make focusing adjustments during manual focus, as well as additional customizable settings for manual shooting. This new lens features a nine-blade aperture to provide beautiful, blurred backgrounds even at full-zoom range. “The new high-end PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera delivers incredible, professional-level shooting capabilities in a compact camera body making it the ideal second camera for DSLR shooters,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. “In addition, with the introduction of advanced wireless capabilities such as NFC and enhanced low-light shooting and autofocusing, the G1 X Mark II is a well-rounded professional-level camera that allows photographers to get creative.” Improved Operation and Performance The PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera is equipped with a new type of Canon-made, 1.5-inch CMOS sensor to help achieve optimal performance from low to high ISO speeds. It has a default aspect ratio of 3:2 which is the same ratio the advanced user has come to expect when shooting with a DSLR camera. If the photographer wants to switch to a 4:3 ratio, it can be done without impacting the field of view. The new PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera uses 31 Auto Focus (AF) points, compared to the PowerShot G1 X camera that uses nine AF points, resulting in improved autofocus capabilities allowing the user to easily compose the image and focus on a specific subject in the frame. Utilizing the bright, capacitive touch, three-inch tilt LCD on the PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera helps provide flexibility in shooting by tilting 180 degrees up and 45 degrees down. The PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera is also compatible with Canon’s new optional electronic viewfinder that mounts to the hot shoe. A new optional grip* will also be available for the PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera. These accessories are ideal for photographers looking for the feel of a DSLR camera with the portability of a point-and-shoot camera. Seamless Connectivity The PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera is equipped with built-in Wi-Fi® technology, so users can share still images and videos online quickly and easily using compatible mobile devices.1 Using the Mobile Device Connect button, users can connect to a smartphone, a tablet or a Wi-Fi enabled computer. Connection to the computer is easily done using Canon iMAGE GATEWAY2 through the cloud. For even easier connectivity, the PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera introduces Near Field Communication (NFC)** – a first for Canon’s G-series cameras – so transferring photos to a compatible Android device can be simple and intuitive. This digital camera’s new remote shooting feature also allows the user to sync the G1 X Mark II with a smartphone or tablet and utilize the shutter, optical zoom and self-timer features from that device. Extensive Shooting Modes Ideal for portrait photography, the camera’s Background Defocus mode softens the background behind a subject to help users create professional-looking portraits. In addition, simply pressing the camera’s dedicated movie button allows photographers to capture 1080p Full HD video with ease. And, as commonly found in most DSLR cameras, the PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera has a full range of shooting and recording modes, including 14-bit RAW + JPEG, for outstanding creative control. Unique to Canon PowerShot Digital Cameras, the PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera features Advanced Star Mode with four options to capture images of starry night skies with impeccable quality. The “Star Portrait” and “Star Nightscape” modes help capture the radiance of stars while still allowing you to capture the subject. The “Star Trails” mode captures video trails of stars to turn trails into a luminous still image, while the “Star Time Lapse Movie” mode will shoot images of star movement and then combine the images to make a film that shows the movement of the stars, creating a truly stunning video. Availability The PowerShot G1 X Mark II camera will be available starting in April for a retail price of $799.99. *Optional grip will only be available through the Canon Direct website.

Canon announced at EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM $1199 and EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM $299.

Also, if anyone is looking for a 17-40, the prices will be going down now with (I'm guessing) many people moving to this new lens. I'm actually kind of interested in that 10-18 for a cheapo ultra wide. Will be interesting to see the test results on that lens. |
I'd get the 10-18 just for sh*ts and giggles
|
Maybe I have not thought this through, but why 'IS' in a 10-18mm?

Gee that G7x looks familiar..
|
I anxiously await sample images from the G7X..... I have a good feeling this is better than the RX100 III and for less $$$... if so I am gonna be so happy I held off on buying the RX100 III
|
What makes you think it will be better?
Aside from the longer zoom. |
if it can even match the IQ of the RX100, it's better because it's $100 less, has more zoom, and touch-screen. Will have to see the sample images.

Having better zoom and touch-screen doesn't necessarily makes it better than the RX100. How about lack of EVF and hotshoe on the G7X (from what I read)?
times I've wanted a hotshoe on RX100: 0 times I've wanted EVF on RX100: 0 |
Well, I thought you meant spec wise it would be better, but you started talking about features. My T4i has touch screen and I turned it off so I didn't need that feature. Not sure if this is true and important to you, but on dpreview someone said the G7X lacks RAW.
|
oh sht are you serious? if it doesn't have RAW I am OFF the G7X boat!!! wow. that would suck.
|
If you do a search on "raw" in this: RX100 III vs. Canon G7X: Sony Cyber-shot Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review
People are talking about lack of RAW. Is it not official on the spec of the G7X yet? |
dpreview is reporting the camera has RAW.
Canon unveils PowerShot G7 X with 1"-type sensor: Digital Photography Review |
Ahh, I must have read a very early discussion of the G7X then.
|
If it's anything like canons current or older sensors, then I don't think it will be any good. But we shall see.

yeah, there's no way that camera won't have RAW
|
If you base it purely off sensor performance. Look at the canon G1X mark 2, it's ranks below the Sony rx100.
And the canon g1xmk2 came out in may. And it has a 1.5" sensor. |
Why would I buy the 7D2 over the 6D? For what they want for it, just doesn't seem worth it to me...
|
that 7D2 is going to be looking mighty fine to a bunch of people with T2 or T3i's with a bunch of crop lenses.

Different strokes for different folks but I'll be buying the 6D2 when that comes out. That 24mm f/2.8 EFS lens for $150 though...seems tempting for some good night landscape work even though it won't work with full frame. |
That's why I said depending on YOUR use.

Maybe you should have said to start with why you're not interested. From the way you said you use a camera, seems like the 6D is over kill for you to start with as well. :shrug:
For those that don't use only the center point, what setting do you keep your camera in for focusing and metering? Serious question, I'd love to know so I can try and see if it works better for me in the long run and/or if I'm doing something wrong. |
just found out the Canon G7X has 9 aperture blades vs. the RX100m3's 7 blades... technically G7X should give you better bokeh
