Today Canon unveiled their all new PowerShot G1 X, a revolutionary new compact camera with a large CMOS sensor, intended to produce DSLR quality images in a much more compact format.

“Created for professional and serious photographers, the PowerShot G1 X creates a prestigious new category at the top of Canon’s legendary G-series line-up, and redefines the
performance achievable from a compact camera.

A high-quality camera in its own right or the perfect complement to a professional DSLR, the PowerShot G1 X combines EOS sensor technology with DIGIC 5 processing power, a new precision Canon lens and extensive manual control – creating the finest compact camera Canon has ever produced. Designed to be highly portable, the PowerShot G1 X features a zoom lens which retracts into a discreet, robust metal body, providing photographers with an unimposing camera that delivers high quality images and superior handling.”

Key features of the new camera are listed here below:

- Large 14.3 MP CMOS, DIGIC 5, HS System

We love the looks of the new camera and the features also seem very convincing. Hopefully we can soon try it out!

The Canon PowerShot G1 X will release February 2012 and is priced at 800 USD.

The official announcement of the new Fujifilm X-Pro 1 camera will be made tomorrow, but today we can already show you a better look at the beautiful addition to the Fujifilm line-up. We love the retro black case, and the choice of lenses that the camera will have, making it a worthy addition to the X100 and X10 cameras that Fujifilm impressed with in the last months. Full specs and detailed images should be coming in the next days.

More images follow after the jump.

This week the long awaited Nikon D4 has finally be revealed. The new top of the line full frame camera succeeds the D3S DSLR. Making sure to take things to the next level, Nikon packed the camera with a 16.2 megapixel sensor and an extended ISO to 204,800, as well as a brand new full-frame FX-format sensor. Another neat feature of the new camera is the capability of capturing 10 fps stills at full resolution with full auto focus and exposure. To make sure that all that great functionality can actually be used, the camera comes with two memory card slots build in.

Look out for a release of the Nikon D4 in February 2012.

After first rumors about Fujifilm releasing a new mirrorless camera came up earlier this week, everybody ended up being surprised when it was not announced this morning along with the wealth of new cameras that the brand presented. Well, it looks like a French magazine did get some first image of the anticipated X-Pro 1, building on the popular X100.

The camera will come with a 35mm lense, priced at 1300 Euros and Fujifilm will also release 18mm and 60mm lenses for it. We certainly like the look of the camera, similar to the X100 and X10. (Via Slashgear)

Some of us here are avid users of the increasingly popular mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, so this rumor regarding Fujifilm’s possible future release is exciting; especially as it appears to be following in the footsteps of the X10 and X100 in terms of body style. Fuji did an excellent job with the designs, and we can speak from experience when we say performance, too, at least in the case with the X100. Rumor has it that Fuji will reveal the camera at the upcoming CES show. Hopefully, we can bring you more news regarding this camera as it comes along.

Take another look after the jump.

Prior to CES 2012, Samsung has announced the new DV300F dual view WiFi camera. In terms of picture quality the 16 MP camera might not compete with the other cameras that we usually report about, yet it comes with some interesting other features.

A second screen is placed on the front, making self portraits much easier. Furthermore it comes with WiFi connectivity, allowing you to backup your images over the Internet, and you can even control the camera with your Android phone (the iOS version of this functionality will also release). Other cool little features include the Artistic Brush, turning an image or movie into a work of art, or the Motion Photo, which allows you to freeze time around a moving subject for dramatic effect.

For the hobby user the new Samsung might be an interesting choice!

Check out this action packed video pitting Canon commandos versus a rogue team of Nikon fighters who take an innocent hostage. We sense a big budget Hollywood remake with Steven Seagal and Tommy Lee Jones reprising their roles from Under Siege, without the knife in Tommy’s head, though. Anyway, be sure to check this video out.

Jonathan Yi produced a fantastic video, reviewing the all new Canon EOS C300 camera, which was just recently announced.

Check out the video here below.

A cool new iPhone case comes from Photojojo. As the quality of the iPhone camera gets better, you will of course continue to see lots of interesting upgrades for it, to get the maximum functionality out of it. We have come across many lens kits for the iPhone already, but the Photojojo iPhone Camera Lens Dial Case is definitely an interesting new one. It is certainly not very pretty, but it is practical. Instead of having several of the miniature lenses lying around in your pockets, the case comes with three and you can easily switch between them, by simply turning the dial. The device comes with a 0.7x wide angle lens, 1.5x telephoto zoom, and 0.33x fisheye lens. Furthermore you can attach a tripod to the case.

Priced at 250 USD, the case is definitely not cheap, but if you want to increase your iPhone 4/iphone 4 S shooting quality, it might be worth the investment.
