GMT: Canon has today (officially) announced the five megapixel PowerShot
G5. While we are often happy to respect embargo's (to get what we are
told is exclusive info) it's getting repeatedly more frustrating when
you see so called embargo information published sometimes weeks ahead
of the real announcement (it does make you wonder if such leaks aren't
planned by the manufacturers). The PowerShot G5 is a camera I feel Canon
should have announced at Photokina last year instead of the G3, it's a
essentially a black bodied, five megapixel version of that camera. Five
megapixel 1/1.8" sensor and a four times optical zoom lens, the competition
will be Sony's DSC-V1 and the recently announced Nikon Coolpix 5400. List
price €899 in Europe, $899 in the US.
