Word’s on the net that Canon’s PowerShot G11 successor is getting near, the G12. While covering the latest cameras to launch from Canon, it looks like Cnet Asia slipped and released info on the G12 as well. Though the info has since been redacted, several other blogs grabbed the images. Not much seems to have changed from G11 to G12 other than inclusions of HD video recording (looks to be 720p) and some slight cosmetic changes, ergonomics. CanonRumors grabbed a screenshot of the slip up by Cnet Asia. So when can we expect an official press release with official specs? Most probably at Photokina this coming September.

A detailed preview for Canon’s PowerShot S95 is already online, courtesy of the fine folks at dpreview; be sure to check it out, as the sensor is most probably identical to the G12 (like the S90 and G11 shared).
