Canon’s upcoming PowerShot G1X has joined the ranks of the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 as the digital cam was prematurely detailed before its CES 2012 debut.

Leaked by the same Website as Fujitsu’s creation, the G1X is targeting “advanced amateurs” and packs a 4x (28-112mm) optical zoom lens with an F/2.5-16 aperture.

Behind it stands a 1.5-inch CMOS sensor that is paired together with one of Canon’s DIGIC 5 image processors to offer a 4.5fps burst rate at the cam’s full 14.3MP resolution and 14-bit RAW file support.

Other features include multi-area white balance adjustment as well as a new Smart Auto mode, a “child-weighted” face detection system and a new HDR mode.

The PowerShot G1X can also record Full HD 1080p video and sports a 720p “Movie Digest” mode which automatically builds a video log out of stills captured by the camera. All these can be yours in a few weeks’ time (read that February) for $799 (622 EUR).
