Canon G13
With the next power shot due out soon it seems the successor to the G12 will be appropriately titled the Canon G13. This camera, much like other future Canon cameras that have yet to be announced is highly anticipated leaving us to question when we will hear something about it. The Canon G13 will no doubt be announced next year before the 2012 Summer games in London (along with the rest of the 2012 Canon lineup) but many are asking could we possibly see it in early spring? The Canon G13 is deemed a very popular camera for Canon as the G series acts as a connecting model between DSLR’s and regular point and shoot cameras.
Canon G13 Features
So what could we see from the next gen. camera in the G series? As of now early reports are saying an increase in lens speed and a much larger image sensor. We can expect a 12 megapixel G13 as far as it’s sensor as well as 1080p recording features. Those features are strictly speculation at this point however they do some very reasonable upgrades to the Canon G12. Much like all the other Canon cameras the G13 was severely effected by the events in Japan earlier this year, pushing back its expected release date by months. The camera is a cornerstone for everyday users that aren’t professionals so as previously mentioned the Canon G13 will almost definitely be here in time for the 2012 Olympic games but we’ll waiting on an announcement that could still be a couple months away.
I would love to pick one of these up simply because it’s half the size of a DSLR and has the same features as it’s bigger brother. Most point and shoots take amazing shots but usually lack the manual modes and creativity for shooting. I ride a motorcycle and love to travel on it and I find that packing a Canon DSLR is really tough.
This will be a great second camera to my DSLR!
I have waited for this camera for so long
but to buy an g12 just feels like giving up now. When im a beginner with cameras the new features don’t really make a difference to me. So should I just wait for the uncertain future of the release of the g13 or settle for the g12?
Agreed! I have an S2 which is comparable to the S3. The cesren is a little too small, and the silver color takes some getting used to, so I’d rather have an S3. The cameras with the card under the battery cover are a nuisance. Batteries scatter when the card is removed. I bought a used A650 thinking it would be the perfect camera, It’s compact and has a swivel cesren, however the zoom lever does not have as much control as on the S2, and I sometimes miss the super zoom of the S2. So now I’m looking for a used S3 to purchase. Funny a better camera hasn’t been invented yet.rb
