17Sep Canon Powershot S100 and SX40IS
Canon just recently announced the upgrade to the popular Canon S95 and SX30IS, replacing them with the new Canon S100
The Digic 5 processor is said to be 6x times faster with 75% less noise than the Digic 4. The ability to auto white balance has also been greatly improved. Umm hold on, was that 75% less noise? Those numbers are a major improvement. Think of this as a sneak peek to what we’ll be seeing in future DSLRs. Definitely worth the read – found below.

A “conventional image processor” giving those awful results? Come on! Must be one of their earlier versions, because I haven’t seen any good camera giving such a result, even the awful and old Nikon D2 (yay for FAT16 filesystem).

Digic 5?!?!?
Oooh wee I cant wait for the newer DSLR with better processors!

The product description for the S100 touts multi-area auto white balance. If that actually works, it seems like it would be huge.

What is the deal with 240fps super slo-mo? That can’t be real.
These are some seriously cool cams…
November couldn’t get here soon enough!

@Darius – Yes the Elph can already do this, but it’s in limited resolution (not full HD).

If these can do 640×480 @120fps. Just imagine what dual-DIGIC 5 processors can do in a dSLR. 720P @120fps here we come! (fingers crossed)

@Tony Maceo – Yes I think Dual Digic 5 would be awesome. Maybe triple digic 5? LOL.

1080p is about 6 times the resolution of dvd resolution and since Canon is claiming the new DIGIC 5 is six times as powerful as its predecessor I think 1080/120p is possible on an APS-C sensor. Since manufacturers like to use theoretical numbers, I wish for a more doable 720/120p. If Panasonic can put triple processors in its Venus FHD engine stuffed into lowly point-n-shoots, surely Emm imagining triple DIGIC 5 is not fanciful. I truly believe Canon 2012 dSLRs will need to really emerge as hybrid camera leaders in the field. Time (November?) will tell.

DIGIC 5. 5K?

“35x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom (24-840mm)” Hmm..pretty good range. Think it has a motorized zoom?
