The dawn of 2012 are proving particularly interesting in terms of photographic developments are concerned. The Nikon D4 , filtered by a magazine and waiting for official confirmation , which must be close, comes to satiate the appetite of the industry DSLR , the new mirrorless Fujifilm plans to do the same among the family of cameras without a mirror and in the meantime Canon which, unfortunately, seems determined to move into this sector, is preparing to renew his best compact, the G12 , with the new PowerShot G1X .
Although it has been speculated on the possibility of a sensor CMOS 1.5 inches this data is being challenged by many people, even talking about a final size of 1 / 1, 5 inches. In any case a larger sensor than the G12 which, remember, is a CCD of 1/1.7 inches. The resolution would grow up to 14 megapixels and the target range would lose a little focus being on 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) or, for that is, 4 × optical zoom .
Among other notable things interesting to work with 14-bit RAWs , the burst of 6 fps and the advent of mandatory and FullHD 1080 to the video recording. It seems that the starting price will be around $ 800 , price is high for a compact advanced it is but not as crazy as if this finally PowerShot G1X aspirations are higher.
