Abstract: I don't do a lot of P&S digicam reviews here, but the Canon Powershot G11 is interesting for a number of reasons. First Canon made the rather bold decision to lower the pixel count from 14.7MP in the G10 to 10MP in the G11. This runs pretty much co...

Optical viewfinder; articulated LCD; very good photo quality for its class.
Shot-to-shot performance still a little sluggish; no HD video.
Though it doesn't offer the whizziest new features like an interchangeable lens or a tiny size, the Canon PowerShot G11 still delivers a good shooting experience for photography enthusiasts. Plus it's the only model that includes an optical viewfi...
Very good all-round image quality (albeit without the G10's excellent low ISO resolution), Generally good high-ISO performance for a compact camera, surprisingly good high ISO raw output, Flexible lens range with effective image stabilization, Very li...
Rather slow lens (in terms of aperture) by traditional G series standards, Movies limited to VGA resolution, High ISO images lose saturation and detail (and offer no control over noise reduction), Focus prone to hunting (and focus failure) in low light at...
The G11 is the latest in a well-established line of compact cameras aimed at enthusiasts and, with its large-bodied, retro styling it would appear to be just as aspirational at its predecessors. However, there's hardly a niche left in the camera marke...
Canon recognizes that more pixels doesn't necessarily mean better image quality; fast to focus and operate; PowerShot G-series camera design is a classic of simplicity and functionality; vari-angle LCD is back!
Wish they had put a bigger sized chip in the G11 to improve low-light shooting further; no HD video mode.
In the end, I'd recommend the Canon PowerShot G11 to any pro who's looking for a quality compact camera to throw in their bag or for a day of casual shooting. While Canon's rivals have made great strides in putting bigger sensors in small came...
Canon continues to add new models to their legendary "G" series line of powerful prosumer models. The new PowerShot G11 compliments the G10 we reviewed last year, offering some of the same features that we have come to love about these cameras. These i...
Already quite impressive the G10 was highly recommended, but now we would even push things on saying that the G11 is a “Must Have” for any serious photographer who want to carry something “light” along with them… Capable to offer great picture in a co...
Abstract: The Canon G11 is a fantastic camera for photographing anything that doesn't move. For landscape and nature photography, it replaces bulky DSLRs and extra lenses. Two huge advantages over last year's are extraordinarily better hig...
If you're in the market for an enthusiast's compact digital camera, the PowerShot G11 makes a good choice. It produces good photos in Smart Auto mode, yet allows all the creative control you could want. It's a bit pricey - you can get an entry level SL...
If you can’t tell by now, I really liked the Canon G11. For someone that usually carries around a DSLR when it’s really too much, the G11 would make a perfect companion. It will likely put a camera in your hands at times when you would have left your...
Very good photo quality, About a full stop advantage over most of the competition in low light, Nice 5X zoom lens with 28 140 mm range (though a faster aperture range would've been nice), Optical image stabilization, Well built, rangefinderstyle body...
Some useful features from the G10 are gone: remote capture, Auto ISO Shift, voice recording, Continuous shooting mode won't win any awards for speed, Movie mode is just VGA, with no use of optical zoom, Ergonomics aren't great: cluttered buttons o...
For the last several years, camera manufacturers have been caught up in a race to see who could produce the camera with the most Megapixels. The PowerShot G-series -- Canon's flagship compact cameras -- went along for the ride. The PowerShot G7 had 10...
