Waiting for Canon

If Canon obeys the same schedule as last year, they should announce a bunch of compact cameras within 1-2 weeks. Last year the Canon announcement was August 20th. So far Canon has only announced printers and camcorders, so we'll have to see what is coming.

Perhaps thre will be a G10, perhaps something completely new.

The recent Nikon push in the high-end doesn't challenge Canon in the advanced compacts category, and LX3 is a bit marginal from this perspective also. Micro four thirds (4/3) may generate some challenge, but not until some products are announced, and perhaps not even then.
