Here are the ISO samples from the Canon PowerShot G9, taken under the same lighting conditions, to compare with the shots I posted yesterday from the G11. Although the image size is larger (the G9 is 12MP whereas the G11 is 10MP), I've tried to crop to include the same elements in the photos; the images were then saved for the web (at 600pixels wide) and sharpened in CS4.

Stay tuned for some ISO comparisons from a production quality G11. They should be posted later in the day.


Update; my thanks to the guys at 1001 Noisy Cameras for help spreading the love.

New firmware update for Canon PowerShot SX1 IS allows Raw capture

United Kingdom / Republic of Ireland, 19 February 2009: Canon announces an exciting add-on for its celebrated PowerShot SX1 IS digital compact camera: firmware that allows users to capture images in RAW format.

Owners of the PowerShot SX1 IS will be able to download a firmware update which gives them the option of shooting images in high-detail, unprocessed RAW format. This is ideal for photographers seeking control over key image parameters after they shoot – rather than before.

Plus, for powerful, intuitive post-production, users of the PowerShot SX1 IS can also download a free copy of Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software. This high-speed RAW editor lets users adjust key settings, such as white balance, exposure compensation and sharpness before conversion to JPEG.

The firmware will be available for download from mid-March. PowerShot SX1 IS owners should check http://web.canon.jp/imaging/BeBit-e.html for information and availability. Digital Photo Professional will be also available to download from the BeBit website.

For more information about the PowerShot SX1 IS – the first Canon digital compact camera to feature Full HD 1080i movie recording and fast 4fps JPEG continuous shooting.
