After Sony, Canon is who benefits from CP + 2014 to update its APN ranges. The manufacturer unveils its EOS 1200D, an entry level DSLR, compact expert, Powershot G1 X Mark II, but also a Powershot D30 will come walking in the beds of the Coolpix AW120 Nikon or WG4-GPS Ricoh.
While Nikon D3300 has renewed at CES in January, Canon renews turn its entry-level DSLR. The EOS 1100D launched in 2012 changed to the EOS 1200D and the manufacturer the opportunity to simplify its offering in the segment of entry level SLR: 600D disappears in passing. So we end up with the EOS 1200D, 100D and 700D on.
EOS 1200D: the entry-level DSLR
newcomer Canon has a relatively compact body (129.6 x 99.7 x 77.9 mm) made of magnesium alloy rather lightweight (480 grams). It features a APS-C 18-megapixel and is supported by an image processor, DIGI 4, which allows him to have a burst mode up to 3 frames per second. The development is achieved through nine cross-type points. We regret that the 3-inch screen on the rear is neither tilt or swivel, but it’s the same problem with the Nikon D3300.
climbs to record Full HD video, so it was a question of 720p on the 1100D. By cons will be limited to the lack of sound in mono microphone jack. Connectivity, it features a SDXC card slot, mini HDMI output … and that’s all. No Wi-Fi or other NFC chip for ease of use.
This EOS 1200Dis announced for next month from 399 euros with an optical unstabilized 18-55 mm f / 3,5-5,6 or 449 euros with stabilization. The good news is that the EOS 100D price drop and see offered from 499 euros with non-stabilized optics.
Anyway, here is a video presentation of this EOS 1200D:
Powershot G1X
Mark II:
Let
compact expert, the G1X Mark II is still a renewal of an existing model launched in 2012, the Powershot G1X. The newcomer is based on a CMOS sensor 12.8 megapixel 1.5 inch which is supported by an image processor DIGIC 6. This allows you to shoot movies in 1080p full HD up to 30 frames per second, a burst mode of 5.2 frames per second, or climb up to 12,800 ISO sensitivity. The optical part is based on a x5 5-axis stabilized zoom equivalent to 24-120mm and rather bright (f/2-3.9).
the rear, it has a touch screen of 3 and rotated by 180 ° inches, while connectivity is based on Wi-Fi and an NFC chip. It can be used remotely via Android or iOS applications. Powershot G1X the Mark II will be available in May for 799 euros. Note that electronic viewfinder will be available separately and will be grafted to the top dog. A pack comprising also be proposed by the mark to 999 euros. In the end, the price gap with the PowerShot G1X, which is available for around 480 euros, seems too large compared to the changes.

Finally, note that the brand took the opportunity to renew its compact and announces the arrival of the Powershot D30. It will be placed in front of the WG-4 GPS Ricoh or Nikon Coolpix AW120. It is waterproof up to 25 meters, can withstand a drop of two meters or to a load of 100 kg. It goes a bit further than its competitors.
the sensor, you are entitled to a 12.1-megapixel CMOS. It comes with a DIGIC 5 chip brand that allows it to record video in 1080p at 30 frames per second. The zoom is here equivalent to 28 x5 – 140 mm with an aperture between f / 3.9 to 4.8. It also incorporates a GPS module, against the absence of a Wi-Fi chip will be felt by some.
Powershot D30 will be available beginning in April for a price of 299 euros.
