Canon: Mirrorless micro four thirds are for loser camera makers

Canon has long been one of the dominant camera makers, and usually at the forefront when it comes to the camera packaging includes new form factors, which makes their complete failure to release the Micro Four Thirds camera even more inexplicable. Ultimately, the Micro Four Thirds is a popular motherboard, which has been around for many years, and is a good measure of economic society, such as Canon, because it promotes the sale of the lens. So what happens? Why not be the Canon Micro Four Thirds on the market?

Well, I do not know if this piece becomes suddenly executive questions about Canon, but it is entertaining. Social Canon Consumer Imaging, Rainer Fuehres amateur photographer said that the company is not looking at the Micro Four Thirds or the like as these form factors have been closed for business the loser could not hack DSLRs. convincing.

That said, Fuehres did not say that Canon will never make the Micro Four Thirds camera. However, if the Canon in the market, they marched to its beat.

"The idea of ​​a compact camera system has nothing to do with whether the camera is a mirror or not, but it is small and portable system," he said. "If the fees do not participate I hope not only to introduce me-too product, but there will be an opportunity to do something different."

We've heard this before from Canon. They said in July last year that they were not interested in the Micro Four Third, but instead thought they could shrink to a digital SLR factor Micro Four Thirds format size. Canon actually had a story in the market for digital SLR not to do incredible things to shrink the camera mirror, so that we would not be surprised if they managed that. But when?

JVC GX-PX1 Do 1080p Video Shoots Stills At 60 Frames Per Second

This year's CES, one of the concepts that were most enthusiastic was a JVC GX-PX1, a hybrid camera / camcorder with absolutely gorgeous to look at it: GX PX1 looked like a camera lens is inserted on a thin frame and number of fire.

Unfortunately, JVC was not interested in show at CES, so we were left slightly curious about it since. Fortunately, the guys over at Impress had the chance to take a look at the latest prototype, and although this is not a product ready for a release date yet, this is a really nice camera .

Leaf-wise, we are studying. The lens barrel is a long optical zoom capable of ten degrees of increase, which acts as a student of a backlight image sensor capable of breaking 10 million pixels and 1080p video at speeds of up to 36 Mbps . If you're willing to give up a certain loyalty, you can even see the camera up to 5.7 megapixel stills sixty images per second. Wow!

between 100 and ISO 6400 (then 1600 is probably the largest that is useful). On the back of the GX-PX1, a 3-inch touch screen 230k points. Storage treated SD / SDHC / 32 GB SDXC slot and more capability. A complete list is a specific optical image stabilizer and the accumulator, which allows you to take still images up to 320 before going to the bottom.

There are many questions here, but the GX-PX1 appears to be a digital camera and camcorder both attractive. If the price is right and still images as well as video, this could be one of the most talked about cameras in the holiday season.
