Fujifilm’s X-Pro1 mirrorless ILC (interchangeable lens camera) is now officially official. The oft-leaked specs and photos have been pretty much confirmed by an official announcement at CES, and the camera looks hot, hot, hot. If you were disappointed by

“It was the era after the Bronx was burning, and how the city responded to that in an effort to make a dent,” said Larry Racioppo, who retired last September. “We had to be able to photograph what was really there, and not to sugarcoat anything. The commissioners never told me to hide anything. If there were bad conditions, they wanted to be able to change that. If conditions were horrible, they could get resources allocated. So my photographs were a wonderful tool.”
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” -Alb

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

In terms of video the D4 can shoot full 1080p or 720p at 29.97, 25 and 24.98 frames a second (fps). It can also shoot standard def 640×480 at 30 or 25 fps. Interestingly, according to Dpreview, it crops the output of the video in FX full frame mode to 91% of its sensor width (I’m not sure why Nikon have done this and I’m trying to find out). Rolling shutter and skew is said to be improved over previous Nikons.
Nikon has announced the D4, a new pro digital SLR that features a 16.16 million image pixel full-frame CMOS image sensor, 10fps top shooting rate (or 11fps with restrictions), a standard ISO range of 100-12,800 (and an extended range of 50-204,800), a revised 51-point AF system capable of autofocusing with f/8 lenses, all-new 91,000-pixel RGB ambient/flash metering sensor, twin memory card slots (CompactFlash and the emerging XQD format), EXPEED 3 image processing, 1080p video capture with audio monitoring and optional uncompressed video export through the HDMI port, built-in Ethernet, a new EN-EL18 battery, in-camera HDR and timelapse creation, all in a dust and weather sealed magnesium alloy body.
