The Canon G12 is a nice camera but it appears it will be allowed to fade away (prices remain high, easily available, no one buying). I've noticed many cameras (including Nikons) have reduced build quality --- even the Elph 310 vs. the Elph 300. So, don't wait for the G13 or G1a. Get this or the Fuji (I also like the viewfinder). (The Fuji is better built, costs more, and is made by a company with no customer service.) The G12 has been replaced by the SX40 --- so say even Nikon techs. Want a 5x lens (with great video thrown in) and a non on the mantle camera --- get the Elph 300 (in black) for $149. (Just live without the viewfinder and have a beer first.) :-) The Canon G12 is a nice camera but it appears it will be allowed to fade away (prices remain high, easily available, no one buying).

Canon says that the G1 is not the successor to the G12. So it looks like they are planning some sort of refresh of the G12 (and they should). What that will involve and when it will come out remains top secret, apparently. Canon must be taking a page from the Apple playbook on this....

Well...the G series cameras have tended to be released about a year apart, around August/September. If the pattern holds, you'd be waiting ~8 months.

Any idea when the G14 will be out? I may even wait for the G15. That one is going to be even better!

Looks like Canon has come out with the Canon G1 X 14.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 4x Wide-Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Lens Full 1080p HD Video and 3.0-inch Vari-Angle LCD. The zoom is only 4X compared to the G12 zoom at 10X.

@Coog makes good points for a new G series, however, my number one interest in the G12 is the viewfinder. This is simply where the S100 doesn't make the cut. The fully articulating rear screen on my S5 IS has enabled many, many otherwise unobtainable shots. Being able to hold the camera in positions where one's head can't go simply enables shots that would otherwise be missed. With that, I hope that Canon does continue the G series, swapping sensors and processors as prices come down. I need these sub-$400 cameras because I'm pretty hard on pocketables. The last two only lasted 4 months each.

What are you waiting for that the G12 doesn't have? Perhaps your answer(s) will help in our suggestions to you. Thanks.

My pre-order was jsut cancelled :( how about yours?I dont have a lot of time to get a laptop and this is currently the only on the market that I'm interested in, not sure what to get now

The G11 does good video but the G15 is better HD. I don't think you'd be disappointed with G11 but there have been some improvements with the later series. Give it a try as a test run and if you don't like it upgrade to the 15.

Any updates on this laptop 'A1' w.r.t to the availability folks? I put myself on the pre ordered and waiting list too but nothings happened for about 5 days..Anyone started receiving them yet?

G Nerd Boy G,Wow! So your order was placed on the 13th too. Wonder what you did to get yours so soon? Also I cant seem to get the a9 pi discount to show up. Any tips?

the new GTS with the G92 and 512 specs will have a bigger fan than the GT, heat has been the major problem of the GT cards and in performance its gonna be slightly faster with a 128 shader comparing to the 112 from the GTi say wait they should be out on the 13th of DEC

Because Logitech hasn't made this mouse in almost 6 years, and it's an AMAZINGLY popular mouse. Also are you certain the one you saw in the store was a G5 and not the new G500?

So r u saying it's safe to order now, and we all could receive it sometime in April?This CAM looks so awesome! How does everyone else feel about it? Any comments??

A2 model? Interesting. Any specs different from the A1? I put the order in last night (3/12) and I hope I get it somewhat soon.

Good question! I've been watching since April when my 2nd G7 stopped working correctly. It's time for something new, and this looks like it, but I'm not buying without at least some other user reviews to read first.

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues. Would upgrade from mkII. Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP. But alas, I'll refrain.

I just bought another seat for another car, there is/was a promo code last Thursday that made the G4 less than the G3. My G4 was made 12/13 I believe.

I miss the days when the LX3 was only $399 or $419. It is now (absurdly enough) ballooned to $749 on Amazon, roughly $300 more than the G10.

Dunno the release date for sure but I'm assuming it will be this weekend since they said Sept. 07...as for the fewer keys I think its mainly to reduce the size of the keyboard itself, it kind of has its own advantages to it being a bit smaller....all though in my opinion if they gave it less keys it should be cheaper than the other one but meh, the orginal G15 had a $20 price drop within 2 months of release, so I'm sure this one will too.

I don't think they had any idea it would be quite this popular, particularly as a pre-order. Hoping to get mine, too, before Christmas. But, if it's delayed further, it's delayed further - that certainly won't make me not buy it. I understand how anxious people are to get their hands on one of these - I feel the same way - patience is a virtue. (yeah, yeah, I still want it here now, too ;-)

yeah that is the only thing holding me from the camera.any reliable rumours on the release date of the new one?I can only wait about 2 months time though

I give up, I picked up the S95 and the ZS7 for our cruise next week. Nikon told everyone this would be out by the end of September. Anyone hear anything else?
