Canon Powershot G15 Among DPreview’s Recommended Top 5 Compact Cameras

The Canon PowerShot G15 is among DPreview’s top 5 recommended compact cameras. Among other things they say that:

In our testing, we found that the G15’s long but impressively bright lens is a real selling point compared to both its predecessor, and indeed most of its competitors. Having a maximum aperture of F1.8-2.8 combined with a useful 28-140mm (equivalent) zoom means that you’ve got a lot more flexibility in poor light, allowing you to set either a lower ISO sensitivity for cleaner images, or a faster shutter speed to avoid camera-shake or blurring due to subject movement.

They particularly liked:

Excellent ‘hands-on’ ergonomics in a small, relatively portable body, optical viewfinder can be handy on occasion, very nice image quality, good, responsive operation.

Btw, the G15 predecessor, the Powershot G12 is a B&H Black Friday deal, sold for just $299 (click here).

[Rumor] Canon Set To Release A Firmware Update For The Canon EOS M Before Christmas

Got this today from a new source. Canon will release a firmware update for the Canon EOS M before Christmas. The new firmware release is said to address the auto focus problems, mainly the sluggish focus time, of the EOS M, both for the native lenses and for EF and EF-S lenses used through the EF/EF-S adpater.

I really hope this rumor is going to be true, although I didn't so far experience any major drawback with the AF. See my first impressions of the Canon EOS M here.
