Great low light performance, Impressive image processing, technology, Advanced creative options, including RAW, Quality metering an autofocus, 5x optical zoom and swivelling LCD
Uninspiring looks, Can feel bulky and awkward, Easy to activate buttons by mistake, Image preview can be sluggish, No HD video
The Canon PowerShot G11 is Canon's flagship compact, and the latest model in the popular and well-regarded 'G' range.Its predecessor, the 14 megapixel Canon G10, managed to appeal to compact camera owners seeking maximum imaging power and flex...
Quality 5x wideangle lens; heavy, robust build; chunky knobs and dials; good image quality
Expensive; sluggish responses for a pro camera; poor rear controller
The Canon PowerShot G11 offers excellent photograph quality and options for a compact camera, and the downshift from the old PowerShot G10's 14-megapixel sensor to a 10-megapixel one has paid dividends. But it remains a fat, heavy and expensive compac...
Abstract: Canon’s Powershot ‘G’ range of digital cameras has been at the top-end of the compact camera market for years. The latest addition to the series, the new Powershot G11, is unusual in offering a significantly lower resolution than its predecessor. Has C...
There’s no denying the G11 is an attractive camera. We really like the interface and ease of use, and the picture quality is certainly good, but the sensitivity needs to be kept to a maximum of ISO 800 if you want to keep the definition. That said, qua...
The G11 with its RRP of R6799 doesn’t come cheap and is actually priced higher than some entry-level dSLRs. While the vari-angle LCD screen might help you out with tricky shooting angles, it failed to truly impress us. Plus the lack of HD video recordi...
Dial modes for ISO and Exposure Compensation, Very good reproduction of color, Contrast and sharpness, Superb ease of use, Excellent build
Grid view for the scene mode would have been preferable, Review button is not placed at the best of places
As far as video is concerned there isn’t much to complain about as the camera does a darn good job. Overall color and contrast are handled well by the G11. However the transition from a decently lit area to a low lit area takes a little time for lens t...
Nice design, Above average low light performance, Very good image quality, Swiveling LCD
Lost some nice features from the G10, Rear buttons too easy to accidentally push
The G11 will appeal to point-and-shoot users who are ready for more power, control, and quality, but don’t want to carry around a camera with the bulk of an SLR....

Flexible LCD; impressive build; good picture quality; snappy performance; plenty of customization options.
Scroll wheel can be difficult to operate at times; no HD video recording; slightly bulky design may not appeal to some users.
umer compact camera Sensor: 10-megapixels, 1/1.7in type CCD (3,648 x 2,736-pixels) Lens: 5x optical zoom (28-140mm 35mm film equivalent) ISO range: 80-3,200 Exposure modes: Auto, Scene, Program, Shutter priority, Aperture priority, Manual, Low Light, Q...
ISO performance isn’t great; no HD video recording; pricey.
The Canon Powershot G11 is a dependable secondary camera to have especially for travelling when a DSLR is to bulky to lug around. It will not replace a DSLR entirely, but the G11 has a bevy of features that will give photographers a nice alternative t...
