| Canon PowerShot G15 Review Updating the Canon PowerShot G12 released approximately two years ago, the Canon PowerShot G15 is a significant step up from its predecessor with an updated processor, new lens, higher quality LCD screen, lighter weight and expanded high definition video recording capabilities. Regarding similarities, the optical zoom remains somewhat similar at 5x (28-140 mm f/1.8-2.8). Just like the G12, the PowerShot G15 also shoots in RAW as well as 720p video. Canon has changed the processor from the DIGIC 4 system to the DIGIC 5 image processor and upgraded the CMOS image sensor from 10.1 megapixels to 12.1 megapixels. While G12 users will lose the variable-angle LCD screen, the size has been upgraded from 2.8 inched to 3.0 inches and the screen quality has significantly improved from 461k pixels to 922k pixels. In addition, the ISO range has expanded from 80-3200 to 80-12800. Regarding high definition video recording, the Canon G15 can record in 1080p resolution at a speed of 24 frames per second. Also different from the G12, the G15 utilizes Canon's Intelligent IS system and the Smart Auto function has been upgraded from 28 scenes to 58 scenes.

That's almost certainly the reason that Amazon recently sent out counterfeit SanDisk cards to one of their customers, and probably a few that didn't notice. Damien Douxchamps first became suspicious of the cards when he popped them in his camera to find that each had a different amount listed under "shots left" - something that he felt shouldn't happen with authentic cards. He then found that his new cards were slower than his old memory cards and he knew something was afoot. After comparing the packaging and the cards themselves, Douxchamps was able to determine that his cards were, in fact, fakes...Continue Reading Leica Turns 99 and Celebrates with a Look Back Back in 1913 a man named Oskar Barnack came out with the camera that started a 99 year legacy.
