Camera enthusiasts get more of what they expect from the Canon G-series with the Canon G11: High image quality, good lens quality, and a swiveling LCD screen. We still don't have the f/2.0 lens back, but instead we have a 5x zoom that starts at a usef...
The Canon PowerShot G11 is a powerful camera that includes a lot of features. In many ways, it is more of an SLR camera than a point and shoot, as it includes the wider ISO range and more comprehensive manual controls that SLRs offer. And it puts th...

Slow burst shooting – just 1.1fps at full res, No HD movies or zooming when filming, Noise better than G10, but beaten by M4/3, Older G10 delivers more detail at 80 ISO.
The PowerShot G11 continues Canon’s strategy for recent G-series models by essentially taking the previous version, adding a handful of new features and reinstating some from earlier classics. In the former camp, the G11 now features scene detection...

The PowerShot G11 is a very flexible compact with many power features normally associated with SLRs, As well as the ability to shoot in RAW and take quality lowlight shots without flash, the G11 is fast and intuitive, with generally unflappable metering...
Earlier G series PowerShots were real objects of desire, but the PowerShotG11 is unlikely to elicit many lustful glances, The swivelling LCD housing means it’s quite a fat and awkward camera, and while Beth Ditto fans may disagree, portly doesn&r...
For G series obsessives, or well-heeled owners of Canon SLRs seeking a backup camera, the G11 makes sense.There’s certainly a lot to like about this camera, but its relatively high price, combined with some design and usability niggles, mean that le...
Priced exactly the same as its still current predecessor in the G10, the G11 offers the advantage of a flexible LCD screen plus higher ISO options. If neither is particularly important and a higher resolution will serve better, then the older G10 is ...
Timeless design, excellent image quality, variangle LCD one of the best of its type
Viewfinder too small, crowded backplate, soft shutter release
In the world of advanced compacts, the G series from Canon has long been regarded as one of the best. While the models aren't always as small as some other advanced compacts on the market, the sturdy design and advanced feature-set mean that they are...
