5x zoom with 28mm wide and 1cm macro, Flash hotshoe, RAW files and high ISOs, Great quality 2.8in / 460k articulated screen, Good controls, build and ergonomics.
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...
Abstract: Canon schaltet bei der G11 einen Gang runter: Nur zehn Megapixel Auflösung und kein HD-Video erscheinen als Rückschritt. Doch das Flaggschiff der PowerShot-Serie ist so gut wie nie zuvor....
Excellent image quality, Good AF and shutter performance, Excellent ISO performance, RAW shooting option,
Inaccurate viewfinder, Large, heavy compared to most compacts, Expensive,
When Canon brought out the successor to the G10 and dropped resolution from 14.7 to 10 megapixels, some eyebrows may have been raised. The trend in compact digitals has been to keep bumping up resolution (while not necessarily keeping pace with physica...
Solid feel construction, vari-angle LCD, better results at higher ISOs than we’ve witnessed from competing brands (if staying at or below ISO 3200)
Standard definition video, still priced the same as an entry level DSLR (albeit a cheaper option than buying DSLR plus lens with equivalent focal range)
Solid feel contender for enthusiastic amateurs wanting a more portable back up for their existing DSLR, without sacrificing too much in the way of manual control. Shame no HD video though, and the price may cause eyes to water...
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...
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...
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...
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: b i UPDATE 15/10. Aggiunti tutti i test al completo. Disponibile dal 2 ottobre in Giappone, la compatta di punta Canon si rinnova rispetto alla precedente generazione e sfodera una serie di caratteristiche mirate soprattutto al miglioramento della qu...
