Notice something different about the site today? Here’s why – the DPInterface 3.5 design is finally up! You’ll notice that the site now looks sleeker (a lot easier on the eyes!), runs faster and easier to navigate. The changes here aren’t radical, merely hybridizing our previous two designs (versions 2 and 3) into one neat looking piece of work.
There are a couple of things that still need some tweaking over the weekend, but phew, am I glad that 90% of the redesign work is done! Well, why not head over to the comments section (click on the post title) and tell me what you think about DPInterface’s new design.
P.S. Look out for more camera reviews from us soon!
Update (August 23): Our next review will be published early tomorrow (Monday) morning. So stay tuned for that!

Yes, the reaction to yesterday’s new Canon camera announcements was HUGE and the excitement still continues. My e-mail inbox was, and continues to be flooded with questions about the Canon G11 and requests for a writeup or full review of the Canon PowerShot G11! Yes, the demand is that crazy!
Unfortunately, the Canon PowerShot G11 is due for store shelves only later in fall 09 (at the moment, October is Canon’s plan). No one, not even other camera review websites (or even Canon themselves, probably) has a full retail/production unit of the Canon PowerShot G11 right now. In fact, I do find it a bit odd that people are already asking for reviews of a 12-hour old camera!
HOWEVER, I’ll be keeping you guys updated and right now, this camera is at the top of my priority list for review. So be sure to bookmark DPInterface.com (or follow us on Twitter), so you can read the Canon PowerShot G11 review in its full glory… the moment I get my hands on a production camera.

If you’ve been waiting since PMA 2009 for plenty of cameras to ogle at, today’s your day. Canon just unveiled SIX (!) new digital cameras today, including the much-awaited successor to the G10, the PowerShot G11, along with a pleasant surprise – the S-series of ‘mini G’ cameras is back with the PowerShot S90.
First off is the new PowerShot G11, Canon’s latest prosumer camera. Canon seems to be backing out of the megapixel race with this camera since they probably know photo enthusiasts aren’t easily fooled by insane, ever-increasing megapixel counts (usually accompanied by an increase in noise, decrease in burst speed and little to no ‘real’ resolution advantage). Canon has opted to fit the new G11 with a 10 megapixel CCD (versus 2008’s G10 14.7 megapixel CCD). With the new image sensor (and despite it not being a CMOS) along with improved noise processing, Canon claims that the PowerShot G11 will be able to out-perform its predecessor in terms of noise by two stops.
Next up is the Canon PowerShot S90, which is essentially the ‘mini G11′ (a little refresher: the S-series have always been the ’smaller and lighter’ versions of their G-series counterparts). The S90 features the same sensor as the Canon G11, a brand new 3.8X lens (that starts at a bright f2.0!), full manual controls, RAW mode and 3 inch LCD stuffed into a body that’s closer to Canon’s Digital ELPHs in terms of form-factor, size and design. Naturally, the S90 will most likely perform as well as the Canon G11, seeing they share the same image sensor and supposedly, noise reduction algorithms.

On the other hand, the more consumer oriented PowerShot SX20 IS ups the megapixel count to 12 while keeping the 20X super zoom lens, full manual controls and body design of the SX10 it updates. The Canon PowerShot SX20 also features an improved movie mode (it now records 720p clips) and RAW mode. The PowerShot SX120 IS is a budget, compact super-zoom camera – designed to be a less featured, more affordable alternative of the SX20 (the SX120 also has less zoom than the SX20)

Canon didn’t leave anyone out today – For those looking for a small and stylish camera, they have the new PowerShot SD980 Digital ELPH (also known as the Digital IXUS 200 around the world) and PowerShot SD940 Digital ELPH (AKA Digital IXUS 120). The SD980 Digital ELPH/IXUS 200 is Canon’s first-ever digital camera which features a touchscreen (a high-resolution one at that) and it’s set to compete with the likes of the Sony Cyber-shot TX1 and Nikon Coolpix S70. The Ixus 120 sets out as an incremental upgrade to the IXUS 100 announced and reviewed earlier this year.

With a “few” hours left till the official Canon announcement, a picture of the PowerShot G11 has just leaked out! Note the detail of the new camera (especially the swiveling LCD) and the new button design on the upper left corner on the back – this surely ain’t a fake picture!
Here’s a picture of last year’s G10 for comparison’s sake.
So here’s the new PowerShot G11 is a prosumer camera… Canon seems to be backing out of the megapixel race with this camera since they probably know photo enthusiasts aren’t easily fooled by insane, ever-increasing megapixel counts (usually accompanied by an increase in noise, decrease in burst speed and little to no ‘real’ resolution advantage). Canon has opted to fit the new G11 with a 10 megapixel sensor (versus 2008’s G10 14.7 megapixel CCD), which will hopefully produce better images.
Update (almost forgot to include this; thanks for asking, Lloyd): The Canon PowerShot G11 will sport a 1/1.7 inch sensor.

We’re back in business and covering camera news again! Casio announced two new cameras in the US earlier today, with an additional two new cameras for the rest of the world. As far as I can tell, it’s yet another round of incremental upgrades from Casio, nothing particularly innovative. The good stuff has yet to come (Wait till tomorrow).
Despite the differences in design, the new point-and-shoot Exilim Z90 and Exilim Z450 cameras are very much alike inside. The appeal of both these cameras are their ‘premium’ movie modes (you normally won’t find 720p recording in cameras this price). The new, non-US models are the Exilim Z33 and Exilim Z280 which are close relatives (with slight variations) of these two cameras.
