Hasta La Gadget!

They say that good things are not cheap, and cheap things are not good. Perhaps the $549.99 Canon EOS Rebel T5 might prove itself to be the exception to such a generalization. After all, at that price point which is a whole lot less than some of the prosumer cameras out there, you get DSLR performance – although this would clearly rank right at the lowest tier of things. The latest model in the popular EOS Rebel range, this new DSLR would come with an 18.0 megapixel CMOS (APS-C) image sensor and a high-performance DIGIC 4 image processor, ensuring that users will be able to enjoy improved functionality even in low light conditions.

Canon has a trio of new pocket friendly digital cameras for the masses, coming in the forms of the Canon PowerShot ELPH 150 IS, PowerShot ELPH 140 IS and PowerShot ELPH 135. All three of them have been touted to deliver the capability of shooting sharp, high-quality images and video without missing a beat. All of them will boast of a powerful zoom lens and image sensor that have been merged with the DIGIC 4+ Image Processor, 230k dot LCDs, not to mention sporting a dedicated movie button so that you can capture 720p HD video on the go without having to switch settings on a dial, but rather, to press a single button and start recording right away.

Just the other day we reported on additional leaked photos of the upcoming Canon G1 X II. The camera is expected to be announced at CP+ which will be taking place later this week and is also expected to be the successor of the Canon G1 X. We’re not sure when exactly will Canon release the camera and put it up for sale, but presumably it could be pretty soon, thanks to a listing on Best Buy’s website. Unfortunately the listing has since been taken down, but we can only assume that someone over at Best Buy might have accidentally put it up a little earlier than expected, but at least we know that the device is for real.

Thanks to the listing, additional photos and specifications of the camera have been revealed, some of which contradicts what we had heard earlier. For example the camera is said to pack a 20.2MP sensor but according to the listing, the camera will instead feature a 13.1MP in the 4:3 format, or 12.8MP in the 3:2 format. It will come with a 1.5-inch CMOS sensor and will be able to shoot at 3fps with AF, or 5fps with focus locked. The accompanying lens will be a 24-120mm f/2.0-3.9 one and we will see Canon’s DIGIC 6 image processor under the hood as well. The G1 X II will also come with a 3-inch LCD touchscreen display that can be tilted, two control rings, WiFi and NFC connectivity, and will be priced at $799. No word on availability but hopefully we will learn more at CP+, so check back with us then for the details.

Canon G1 X II Appears On Best Buy Ahead Of Announcement original content from Ubergizmo.

Just the other day, a photo of the upcoming Canon G1 X II was leaked. The camera is said to be the successor of the Canon G1 X and is apparently primed for an announcement on the 12th of February which so happens is a day ahead of CP+ which will be taking place on the 13th of February in Tokyo, Japan. Now thanks to the folks at Digicame-Info, they have managed to get their hands on additional leaked photos of the upcoming camera, although based on what we can see, it looks like the camera is still keeping its G1 X branding with no markings to indicate if this is the Mark II version.

However the fact that the camera appears to have a WiFi sticker on it would suggest that this is not the original G1 X, but rather its successor, although we guess anyone could have easily photoshopped that in. In any case as a quick recap for those wondering about the G1 X II, the camera is said to share similar features to the original G1 X. It will pack a 20.2MP 1.5-inch CMOS sensor and will come with a 24-120mm lens with an aperture of f/2.0-3.9. It will also sport a 3-inch touchscreen LCD display and is said to be slightly slimmer than its predecessor which is admittedly hard to tell from the photos. Either way check back with us on the 12th of February for the details, but until then, take it with a grain of salt.

Additional Canon G1 X II Photos Leaked original content from Ubergizmo.

According to the rumors, Canon is set to announce the successor of the G1 X in the form of the Canon G1 X Mark II (or G1 X II which is what the rumors are referring to it at the moment) on the 12th of February. This is to be expected considering that the G1 X was launched nearly two years ago, making it ripe for an update. Now thanks to the folks at Canon Rumors, the image you are looking at above could be the first image we are seeing of the camera ahead of its announcement. The specs of the camera remain a rumor for now since Canon has yet to make an official announcement, so do take it with a grain of salt for now.

For starters it seems that we can expect the G1 X II to share similar specs to the G1 X. The camera is rumored to feature a 20.2MP 1.5-inch CMOS sensor and a 24-120mm lens with an aperture of f/2.0-3.9. It will also come with a 3-inch LCD touchscreen display and will be slimmer and slightly lighter than its predecessor. According to Canon Rumors, the photo above shows the camera with an external viewfinder. The camera will also be powered by Canon’s DIGIC 6 image processor. Pricing is unknown officially but it has been estimated to cost around $700. We expect all the official details will be made available on he 12th of February if there really is an announcement to be had, so be sure to check back with us then for the details.
