Practically Professional Cameras

The New Canon Powershot G1 X Has Arrived at CES 2012

— January 10, 2012 — Tech
Canon's new flagship camera, the Canon Powershot G1 X, has been released at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Convention.

The G1 X is one of three new cameras Canon introduced at CES 2012, and while it lacks full DSLR capabilities, it is said to have the "largest image sensor Canon's ever put in a point-and-shoot camera." The 14.3-megapixel camera has a 4X optical zoom and shoots HD video (up to 1080p).

The G1 X also has professional features, such as being able to shoot in RAW format and boasts a maximum ISO of 12,800. The Canon Powershot G1 X is priced at $799 and is expected to go on sale in February a month after its debut at CES 2012. Canon also revealed the Powershot ELPH 110 and Powershot ELPH 520. All three new cameras have DIGIC 5 image-processing technology, an improvement on last year's DIGIC 4.
Trend Themes
1. Larger Image Sensors in Point-and-shoot Cameras - Opportunity for camera manufacturers to develop more advanced point-and-shoot cameras with larger image sensors, bridging the gap between point-and-shoot and DSLR capabilities.
2. Enhanced Professional Features in Point-and-shoot Cameras - Potential for camera manufacturers to incorporate more professional features, such as RAW format shooting and high ISO sensitivity, in compact point-and-shoot cameras, catering to professional photographers who desire portability without compromising on functionality.
3. Improved Image Processing Technology in Cameras - Potential for camera manufacturers to continue improving image-processing technology, offering faster and more efficient processing capabilities, resulting in higher quality images and enhanced user experience.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Opportunities for consumer electronic companies to innovate in the camera market by developing more advanced and feature-rich point-and-shoot cameras.
2. Photography - Potential for photography companies to capitalize on the demand for advanced point-and-shoot cameras with professional features, targeting professional photographers who seek compact and portable camera options.
3. Technology - Opportunities for technology companies to develop and enhance image-processing technology, providing innovative solutions for camera manufacturers to improve overall camera performance and image quality.
