Canon Powershot G11 – Less is more

Now here is some technology news I would never have guessed, PDN reports Canon is bringing out a Powershot G11 with only 10MP instead of the 14.2MP G10.

Apparently this move is designed to improve the noise sensitivity by reducing the number of pixels on the sensor, allowing them to increase the individual pixel sizeĀ  to capture more light.

Not sure how I feel on this one. I have thought for a while they could not pack any more in.

Looks like they have reached the limit of the technology, and figured out you can only push things so far before people start to complain. I would expect other manufacturers will start to do the same now that one has taken the lead.

They are also changing the screen to a flip out, but not upgrading the video to HD.

Will be available in October 2009.
