Canon G1 X still life lab images at different ISO settings

Imaging Resource has published a preview of the Canon G1 X (click here), and some very interesting test shots done in a lab setting (click here). RAW and JPG files are available. For each ISO setting three shots are available, each with a different noise reduction level. IMHO the images with high ISO settings are anything but bad.

Two movies made with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II nominated for the Academy Awards

Well, what to say? Times are changing!

Digital SLR’s have developed to a level where – at least so it seems – you can make serious movies using them. At least the Canon 5D Mark II has been used to produce two documentaries that have been nominated for the Academy Awards.

Dennis Danfung’s Hell and Back Again, after having won the Sundance World Cinema Grand Jury Price for documentaries, has been nominated for the Oscars. And that is not all. Another documentary, The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom by Lucy Walker, has also been nominated for an Academy Award.

Another Canon G1 X review

The guys over at digitalversus.com have tested the Canon G1 X (click here). The review comes with images at different ISO settings, and with comparisons with other cameras. According to Canon UK the G1 X should be on sale in February (they have also a nice promo-video on their page).

The final verdict is:

Pluses:
Picture quality up to 3200 ISO
Swivel LCD
Good-quality 4x zoom lens
Burst mode 5.4 fps for 6 frames
RAW mode (14 bits)

Minuses:

P mode isn’t fully adjustable
OVF could be more accurate and more comfortable
Screen poorly calibrated (inaccurate colours etc.)
Too slow to start up
1080 video at 24 fps only
Disappointing macro mode
