Thought the next G1X was getting an APS-C sensor?
That was a different lens patent.
Interesting, so I guess the APS-C sensor might be for a fixed lens camera?
Any other information of any kind on the Canon G1X III? I have been waiting for this camera for sooooo long now.
Sorry, but forgot to also ask, does this mean the actual focal length is 24-120mm?
