While the rumor mill on Canon’s new flagship is starting engines, the older lines are getting an upgrade. Canon announced today their new PowerShot G5 X, PowerShot G9 X and a new Mirrorles EOS M10 (preorder links).

Just before hitting the specs and the announcement info, I have one thing to say: Canon, Get your mirrorless game together. Mirorrless is not there yet, but it will be soon, and if you don’t step up your game with a decent 4/3 or full frame mirrorless sensor you are going to slowly lose the market. And while we are on the subject of new cameras, do point and shoot like the G9 X even make sense anymore? Between smartphone cameras getting better and the small form factor that comes with mirrorless, I fail to see the need for a phone-form-factor point and shoot. So Canon, please amaze us with something new and relevant! Spec, photos and availability after the jump.
