This camera is a joy to use. It is bigger and heavier than other compacts but this makes it feel like a real camera. Image quality is excellent
Even up to ISO800. Auto white balance is very good. ...

Hmmm. A hard one. Well
Nothing. For a small-sensor compact
This is as good as it gets. ...
Nothing. For a small sensor compact this is as good as it gets.
Abstract: Canon’s G series cameras have been around for a while and are much used by semi pros and pros needing an easy to use backup camera that still offers quality image capture.The G11 continues the breed, with some improvements tucked away under the bonnet...
Abstract: The Canon G series has been making big waves in the photography community, small high end point & shoots with manual mode that allow for professional quality photography at a very low price. How does the latest of this series, the Canon PowerShot G11,...
Very nice design; great flip-out LCD screen; very good image quality; very good low light performance.
Rear buttons too easy to accidentally push; lost some nice features from the G10.
The G11 is a camera that 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. SLR users, meanwhile might want to pick one up as a second camera, for...
Abstract: Canon is a pretty popular name when it comes to digital cameras and they are usually on the frontline when it comes to innovation and development in the field. One of their latest cameras, the Canon PowerShot G11, is a 10-megapixel CCD camera that...
Abstract: Well built and user friendly, the PowerShot G11, with all the manual functions that photographers need, is a great tool to work with precision and discretion. The 28-140mm zoom (24x36mm equivalent) and its sensor smartly limited to 10 MP are two evide...
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...
