Samsung will unveil six Wi-Fi enabled cameras with the WB850F ($349) the top model. It has a 16-mega-pixel BSI CMOS sensor, 21x optical zoom, 3-inch AMO-LED display, 1080/30p FullHD video with Dual Capture and GPS. Its popular Dual View line will also have Wi-Fi, including the DV500F Dual View ($299) with a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, 6x zoom, 3.5-inch AMOLED Touch Display plus a 1.5-inch front LCD, 1080/30p FullHD video with Dual Capture.

Canon U.S.A. is unveiling two PowerShot Elph-series point-and-shoot cameras and a new flagship Power-Shot G-series model. The G1X (shipping in February at a $799 suggested retail) will be positioned for advanced amateurs and professionals looking for a walk-around point-and-shoot model and offers a large 1.5-inch 14.3-mega-pixel CMOS image sensor and a 4x (28-112mm) optical zoom lens.

It is said to have a shallow depth of field and an aperture range of F/2.5-16 affording better low-light capability.

Other new features include 14-bit RAW file support, a new DIGIC 5 image processor with improved low-light support, high-speed burst HQ shooting of up to 6fps/4.5 fps at full resolution, multi-area white balance adjustment, expanded Smart Auto settings, child-weighted face detection system, handheld night scene and HDR mode. It will shoot up to FullHD 1080 video and includes a 720p Movie Digest mode to automatically compile a video log of all still shots.

The new Elph models both offer improved low-light shooting and the new DIGIC 5 image processor. The Elph 520HS (shipping in March at a $299 suggested retail) offers a compact form factor, MicroSD card slot, 12x zoom lens starting at a 28mm wide angle, 10.1 -megapixel CMOS image sensor and ISO range to 3,200. Also included is a 3-inch LCD, 58 scene Smart Auto settings, Intelligent Image Stabilization, burst shooting speeds of up to 6.8 fps at 4-megapixel resolution, and body color options of silver, blue, green and red.

The Elph 110HS (shipping in February at $249) offers a 16.1-megapixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor, DIGIC 5 image processing to 3,200 ISO, FullHD 1080p video recording, 5x (24-120mm) zoom, intelligent image stabilization, 3-inch 461,000-dot LCD, 58-scene Smart Auto settings, high-speed burst shooting of 5.8fps at 4-megapixel resolution, full-size SD card slot and Movie Digest mode up to 720p HD resolution.

Casio is introducing a new long-zoom camera at the show. The Exilim EX-ZR200, which ships in March ($380 suggested retail), features a 12.5x optical zoom (24-300mm) with fast start-up and focusing times. Casio claimed the ZR200 needs as little as 0.27 seconds between photos. The compact 16.1-megapixel CMOS digicam offers 30 fps shooting speeds, FullHD video HDR, HDR-ART and Premium Auto Pro to handle issues like backlighting and night scenes.

GE Cameras (General Imaging Technologies) is also making the move to CMOS sensors and longer zooms.

The Power PRO G100 is first in a series of CMOS cameras. The 14.4-megapixel digicam ($200 suggested retail) will feature high-speed, continuous shooting capabilities among other high-performance features. It has a 15x optical zoom lens and will record video in up to 1080 HD resolution with stereo sound. Also slated is the ultra-compact power series E1410SW ($160 suggested retail) camera featuring 14-megapixel resolution, 10x optical zoom, thin-form-factor design and a wide-angle to long-zoom focal range.

Kodak is introducing a Wi-Fi-enabled EasyShare M750 (shipping in Q2 at $170). The 16-megapixel, 5x optical zoom camera with 3-inch touchscreen offers Wi-Fi to email and post images to social sites such as Facebook, Wi-Fi copy to smartphone or tablet, and auto Wi-Fi backup to computer. Kodak also has an EasyShare camera app for Apple iOS, Android and BlackBerry.

Olympus is introducing five new digicams at the show, and while none have built-in Wi-Fi, a pair is Eye-Fi compatible. The SP-620UZ ($199 suggested retail) has a 21 x wide-angle zoom, 7 fps shooting and HD video. The SZ-12 (also $199) has a 24x zoom, 7 fps burst shooting, high-def video and 3D capture. They are adding to their Tough lineup with the TG-320 ($179.99) which is shock-, water-, freeze- and dust-proof.

Panasonic will introduce five new models - all less than $199. In keeping with the long-zoom push, the slim Lumix SZ-7 and SZ1 have 10x optical zooms. Both feature Leica lenses and start at 25mm. The 14.1-megapixel MOS DMC-SZ7 can record FullHD AVCHD video while the 16.1-megapixel CCD DMC-SZ1 records 720p HD video.

Vivitar by Sakar International is unveiling at International CES a range of value-priced digital cameras featuring stylish compacts and a rugged weatherproof entry.

Among the highlights is the iTwist F129 ($90 suggested retail) offering 14.1-megapixel resolution, a 4x digital zoom, a 2.7-inch articulating flip-up LCD ideal for self-portrait work, face-and-smile detection circuitry and 720p HD video capture with anti-shake control.

The ViviCam F332 ($70) also features 14.1-megapixel resolution and 720p HD video capture, but adds a 3x optical zoom and three AAA battery power.

The ViviCam 8426 ($70) plays into the exploding outdoor photography trend by offering an all-weather waterproof body featuring 8.1-megapixel resolution with autofo-cus, face detection, shake reduction and a self-timer.

Canon有一台新系列PowerShot G的機種G1X發表，
1.5吋 14.3MP CMOS感光元件
(比Nikon 1的1吋及4/3 M4/3(約1.3吋?)感光元件大 )

這就是Canon說的無反光鏡相機不一定是需要可換鏡頭的產品

引文:


這個尺寸跟Sigma SD Fovea的尺寸幾乎是一樣大!

所以G1X可能有點類似DP1X之類的相機, 但卻沒有Sigma相機的一堆缺點, 這將是X100的強大勁敵了!!

引文:

個人以為，大尺寸感光元件(大於一般DC)的無反光鏡像機，一定要可以換鏡頭。
以目前出過的機種，CANON 的PRO 1、SONY 的R1、FUJI 的X100，前二者後來都沒有後繼機，X100以後會不會有X200不得而知，但接著來的FUJI卻是做成可換鏡頭的機種。
可換鏡頭幾乎已經是主流，CANON 要搞不可交換鏡頭，那跟目前G系列沒啥差別，銷售狀況也會跟G系列一樣的。

引文:

在下推測, Canon或許是想以 「高階不可換鏡像機 + 小型(低階)DSLR」 來包夾現有的無反光鏡像機吧?

雖然從"規格"上G1X看起來實在不"亮眼", (dpreview討論區還有人開罵了 XD)
但實際使用上彈性和過往G系列想必不是同一級距, 甚至超越部分入門的Evil Kit也說不定~

若體積不比以往G系列太多, 且保有G系列的操控性, 這台G1X...應該是很有競爭力喔~
原廠如果有夠大的野心要推這種「大CMOS類單」的話, 應該還會同步追加廣角/望遠外接鏡吧? (微距外接鏡大概是...必備 XDD)


當然, 在下推測的前提是體積不大, 而看著Sony R1...要是G1X依然那麼大...大概也沒什麼競爭力了 orz

ps. 那接下來或許會出現超小的EOS DSLR吧? 若Canon繼續堅持的話~

如果根據這個乳摸網站, 它的CMOS大小才1/1.5"而已啊! 那這跟2/3"的小尺寸有甚麼不同?

2/3就是2/3 為何要特別稱為1/1.5呢

如果CMOS的尺寸真的做到接近APS-C這麼大,變焦鏡還能夠有28-112mm f2.5, 那麼乳摸上面G1X的圖應該就是假的, 因為不可能會這麼小! (而且美金$799就解決了? Canon真的是放下一切,準備出家了嗎?)

CR 上面的圖是 5X zoom 的 G12，28-112mm 是 4X zoom，所以那張只是示意圖，並不是 G1X 的圖

引文:


那美金$799也是"肖想"的價格囉? (G12是$499, 所以從2/3"升到近乎APS-C的大光圈變焦機只要多$300?)

本來就是「肖想」價格阿，不是 rumor 嗎？
