Canon G1x
Will is incorporate HDR and other features found on the
Canon G15. Are we sure the lens will not be a faster lens
say 2.0 or 1.8
WHEN???
The Oly xz2 has a f1.8-2.5, BUT the rumoured lens for the next generation xz3 is f1.4-1.8, as Oly has just applied to patent that one! Oly has a tiny sensor, but smaller camera than G1X that goes into belt pack. Tough to choose when to, and how to enter the experimental digital age. Till then.. velvia.
For me, if Canon can include an up to date sensor with much faster hybrid AF (especially for low light) even with the same kind of resolution. That together with a 1.4m LCD and similar resolution EVF leaving a bit more space for a bit faster lens and maybe a little bit longer as well (hopefully significantly better at macro) and then add the new DIGIC 6 and all the new stuff that brings to the table then I think this is pretty much the camera for me at the moment.
