Priced \u00a3529.99 and due out in late September, the G16 features a new imaging sensor and is the first G-series model to feature wireless connectivity.<\/p>\n

Although maintaining the same 12.1 million pixels as the one-year-old PowerShot G15, which it replaces, the G16 is designed to shoot a burst of up to 9.3 JPEG-format frames per second. <\/p>\n

Canon points out that the G16 will continuously shoot at this rate until the memory card is exhausted –
\nan improvement on the previous model.<\/p>\n

\u2018The G15 would do 12fps for about eight shots and then stop – less than a second’s worth,’ said a spokesman. \u2018The new camera will do 12fps for five shots and then continue at 9fps until the card is full.’<\/p>\n

Creative options now include a star mode, for those keen on astronomy – an area of photography that David Parry from Canon’s Product Intelligence Team sees as \u2018quite fashionable’.<\/p>\n

In an interview with AP, Parry explained that there are three pre-set options: star nightscape, which produces a long exposure; star trails, which takes a series of images and combines them to achieve a star-trail effect; and star time-lapse movie, which combines movie clips.<\/p>\n

The G16, which also boasts a \u201841%’ faster AF than the G15, now includes a manual-focus peaking option, which aims to allow users to highlight high-contrast areas to help accurate focusing in stills and video.<\/p>\n

Also new is a background defocus mode, which automatically combines an in-focus image and an out-of-focus shot. <\/p>\n

Accessible via the camera menu, there are three levels of background defocus: low, medium and high.<\/p>\n

The Wi-Fi-enabled model employs a Digic 6 imaging processor to \u2018deliver images with wider dynamic range, low noise and high levels of detail’. <\/p>\n

Claimed improvements also include the ability to shoot \u2018handheld’ while capturing HDR images.<\/p>\n

The aluminium-bodied G16, which is slightly slimmer than its predecessor, features a customisable front dial (in addition to a rear dial), manual control, a raw-format option, plus a shortcut button.<\/p>\n

Its 5x f\/1.8-2.8 optical zoom is built to deliver the 35mm viewing-angle equivalent of a 28-140mm lens.<\/p>\n

The launch comes as 53% of advanced photographers tell Canon that they use a G-series camera for \u2018professional purposes’, according to a survey. <\/p>\n

Canon claims the results highlight the trust placed in the G-series by professionals who use it \u2018as a secondary camera in their day-to-day working life’.<\/p>\n

The newcomer features a 1\/1.7-type backside-illuminated CMOS imaging sensor, a built-in optical viewfinder and a 3in LCD screen. Its top ISO sensitivity is 12,800, the same as the G15’s.<\/p>\n

New lens<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canon has also today unveiled a new 55-250mm zoom lens.<\/p>\n

The EF-S 55-250mm f\/4-5.6 IS STM is designed to be compact and lightweight (375g).<\/p>\n

Canon’s STM technology aims to provide near-silent AF when capturing movies.<\/p>\n

The lens is due to cost \u00a3349.99 when it goes on sale in late September.
