Image from ZDnet

Hi guys! Look what's out! The once-on-my-shopping-list-S90-or-S95-successor is out! What's new? Watch the video below!

That was rather boring wasn't it? Well, official videos are always boring to watch, but the guy speaks pretty clear English, so not bad as a listening practice.

Then of course, you can also read the article from ZDNet, which is less tedious.

Or you can just look at the comparison below.

Am I going to buy this? Nope! But if S100 is using DIGIC 5, and if DIGIC 5 is good, the upcoming EOS 8D or 7D Mk II might be using the new processor. As to the performance? Well, we'll see.
