Sony RX100 vs Canon G1 X is Posted and the Next Generation
Dick DeJong — September 27, 2012
-- Sarah's premium pocket camera showdown of the Sony RX100 vs the Canon G1 X has been posted.
-- And for those Mirrorless camera fans, we pitted the buzzed-about Olympus E-M5 against our fave, the Sony NEX-5N.
-- Many next generation cameras were announced at Photokina like the Sony RX1, the Panasonic GH3, the FUJIFILM X-E1, the Canon 6D and the Nikon D600, and the Canon S110.
MORE CAMERA NEWS
--- Panasonic has released the DMC-FZ200 24x superzoom camera, a replacement for the highly popular FZ150. Will be arriving soon.
--- Panasonic has also released the DMC-LX7, finally replacing the LX5 premium compact.
NOKIA 41MP CAMERA PHONE
It is a departure for 2 Camera Guys to review a smartphone, but when we saw that Nokia squeezed a camera with 41MP sensor and a Zeiss lens into their 808 PureView phone, our ears pricked up. And rightfully so as you will read in Dick's review which has been posted.
IN THE WORKS.......
COMPACT SUPERZOOM CAMERA UPDATE
The very impressive Sony HX30V edges out the Panasonic ZS20 as the best compact superzoom camera on the market as far as pure picture quality is concerned. But the ZS20 is the faster of the two cameras, so if you routinely shoot a lot of action and need fast response, the ZS20 is still the top of the heap. This shootout will be updated with details shortly.
BEST PREMIUM SUPERZOOM CAMERAS
The Leica V-LUX 3 (24x zoom) and the Fujifilm X-S1 (26x zoom) are premium priced superzoom bridge cameras selling for $800. Though the Leica V-LUX 3 is also sold as the Panasonic FZ150 for a lot less money, the question remains-if you are going to spend $800 on a premium superzoom bridge, does the Fuji beat the Leica for the same money? And if the Leica is the winner, shouldn't you simply buy the Panasonic FZ150 instead and pocket the $400+ price difference? We will get this sorted out and add a new shootout category for premium superzooms.
