G3 For Real??

If you look at this message you can see that Phil has been blocking
posts about new Canon's that were preannounced. If this is the
case, either the G2 is fake or Phil has permission to release it.
I am wondering now if it is fake.
A totally irresponsible post. Phil has removed the thread for a reason, so why make it more difficult by opening another?

Huh?

Which post? The link is for DSLRs. I am commenting on the G3 thread, had that been removed? Saw it here a minute ago and was here 2 days ago also.

I see nothing irresponsible about this post. If Phil has to remove a thread he can do it since this is his forum. Start your own forum if you want to control what gets posted.

So far no press releases for the G3 have actually come from Canon. That 11.1MP full frame CMOS DSLR press release came from Canon. That was why it was pulled.

Canon has nothing to hide with the G3, everyone knows about it. The only thing new we got from that press release was it had that funky new DIGIC processor core.

I must have missed something. How did all this come about? Did Phil accidentally post a link or did someone post a link in a thread? In the other thread (you linked to) someone said he downloaded the press release. Anybody here have a copy?

Take a look on the Canon SLR forum, a copy of the press release is sitting on several servers.

It was leaked by a magazine that accidentally put it in an ad.

How's the autofocus? Ask a person about the G2 and you'll hear subjectively, "great." And you'll ask another person and they will say it "sucks."

One things for sure, it will be about an order of magnitude weaker than the D60, but it doesn't need to be as good of course.

Here's my prediction (my previous prediction was that Snowdog was right). The G3 will be reviewed by the end of the month by Phil. I think you guys can wait that long since you probably will not be able to buy it before then.

Thanks for the detail. I'm one of the people that thinks the G2 autofocus sucks... not the quality of the focus, but rather the speed of the focus.

I won't upgrade until I can get much faster AF. I would buy a D60 just for AF, but the 1.6FOV is a little too far out; for general family use I need to have at least 28-32mm (35mm equiv).

A Sigma 15-30 lens is a LOT, LOT cheaper than a full frame imager. It will be for some time too. The general rules about electronics getting cheaper over time don't apply in the same way when you keep the die size the same.
