Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot G11 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Stabilized Zoom and 2.8-inch articulating LCD
Customer Review: great camera. significant upgrade from previous models
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fairly significant upgrade. Lower Megapixels (finally!)...better image quality, easy to use; especially if you have previously owned Canon cameras
I could go on and on...but others have already done so. Worth $500. Get one. Great 2nd camera to take around when you don't want to lug around the heavy flagship digital SLR. I am looking forward to using this on the ski slopes and doing outdoor sports...much more practically to shoot with this than the SLR.
The only two negatives
1) Canon should have included HD for video instead of SD. Oh well...can't have everything. Next upgrade.
2) threads!!! but I suspect this is because they don't want you to ditch your SLR. Threads on the G series would probably cannabalize their profits....like cellphones and netbooks vs. laptops and desktops.
Customer Review: Canon G11
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second camera in the G series and my sixth canon camera and it is a great camera. It is easy to use and the pictures are excellent. I have taken a large number of nighttime city pictures and they all turned out extremely good. Two things make this an excellent choice in a camera that are both hard to find in other cameras. One is the view finder, it is a lifesaver in bright sunlight. The second thing is the swivel out LCD screen, my first G series had this feature and it makes a lot of difference in odd angle shots. The only thing negative I can say about the G11 is that Canon does not provide an SD card with the camera; you have to provide one yourself. For the price of the camera you would think Canon would provide a SD card so you use the camera as soon as the battery charges. Other than that this is a great camera.Customer Review: Canon G11 is perfect for some
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to be a professional photographer so I needed (wanted) a small camera that had lots of flexibility and quality, but I didn't want to lug around a DSLR. The Canon G11 is perfect for me. I can tuck it into my purse and take amazing shots whenever they appear. This isn't a camera for everyone so read other reviews and take a real hard look at an online owners manual before you buy.
One thing I like is that it uses a 14MP sensor which it maps down to 10MP. Canon does this to improve the low light images. I took shots of an indoor conference without a flash and they came out looking like I'd had a Hollywood lighting crew--the colors were corrected beautifully and there was even illumination with no graininess. With the G11 I just used it as a point and shoot camera except that the autoflash was turned off.
Customer Review: G series continues to impress
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used and loved Canon products for almost 20 years, from simple point and shoots to their EOS line, and I was happy to retire my G6 camera in favor of this one (and not have to lug a 40D around everywhere I go).
The build quality feels solid, complete with the satisfying click of the manual controls. It's also nice to see the articulating display screen again - there will be a time when it comes in handy, even if you don't use it all the time.
I do miss the speed of my old powershot's 2.0 lens, but that's been missing for awhile. The G11's image stablization and improved low light capability more than make up for that, though.
This isn't a tiny camera, but if you're looking for that, you have more than enough other Canon options to choose from.
Customer Review: Nice upgrade to G9
Summary: 5 Stars
I just sold my G9. I really liked that camera, but heard this unit was better in low light.
Only have a couple of days- but I really like the swivel screen and new sensor seems better than the G9.
Need some more time to play around, but it seem to have a better image than the G9. The construction seems a little less well built, but it seems lighter.
I was thing of going DSLR, but don;t want to carry around a big bag of lenses and a flash- plus spend 1000+
I know some people think $450 is expensive for a P&S but this is as close to DSLR as you can get for $450
So I think it's a good deal. It's not pocket sized, but it's still much smaller than a XSI or similar.
Buy this and you won't regret it.
