Larger sensor at the heart of 14.20 million image pixel Canon Powershot G1 X

Rob Galbraith DPI:

Called the PowerShot G1 X, it combines a Canon-developed 14.20 million image pixel CMOS image sensor, one that’s almost as large as the company’s 1.6X crop factor digital SLRs, with the general styling and features of the company’s current PowerShot flagship, the G12. The G1 X is expected to deliver similar image quality and depth of field characteristics as a camera like the 60D, but in a smaller, lighter package that’s meant to operate more like a top-end point-and-shoot than a digital SLR
