When I made the switch to digital following some 40 years of shooting film as a fashion/glamour photographer I sought, and continue to seek, the cameras and lenses that will mimic the quality that I achieved with film. (Back in the day, I settled on Leica cameras and Kodachrome). Part of the... Read full review »

Canon's G11 is a step in the right direction.

bytheuerkorn Dec 15, 2009

17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls

Pros Excellent compromise between resolution and low light capability, RAW capture,...

Cons much better than G10 but still noisy at high ISO, somewhat slow

Recommended it? Yes

Canon released not too long ago the respectable G10, and while a good camera it was also a kind of zenith of the megapixel race with 14.7 MPx in such a small sensor. It's already eclipsed by even more dense sensors, but in the Advanced P&S category it became clear that MPx isn't everything and low... Read full review »

Less is More

Pros Improved high-ISO performance, articulated screen, superior design and construction

Cons Still slower and noisier than a DSLR at the same price

Recommended it? Yes

Last summer I bought and reviewed the Canon PowreShot G10, which is the immediate predecesor of this model. What I found both in my initial review and in 4-months of using the camera was an extremely well-designed, well-built camera capable of producing extraordinary image quality, within the...

Pros If you have a steady hand, you'll very seldom get a bad shot.

Cons No remote control. But they can be purchased aftermarket.

Recommended it? Yes

Okay. I'm an average basic digital camera user. So if you are too, read on.
I like to take pictures of everything from my kids, ebay stuff, flowers (close up) and fields (distant).

Now when I take pictures, I always expected there to be some imperfect ones, but overall 15%-25% had... Read full review »

Good Camera to Carry Around

byjdklein Sep 22, 2010

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls

Pros easy to carry around, custom settings, video, good image quality

Cons no hd video

Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Canon G11 camera to use as an all-purpose go-anywhere camera, and I was not disappointed with it for that purpose. It is really a bit too big to be a pocket camera and the image quality is not up to dslr quality, but I really hate lugging a camera around and the G11 really is... Read full review »

A Camera That Does It All

Pros Extremely full featured; easy to use for the novice; challenging for the professional;...

Cons A bit expensive but good trade-up value.

Recommended it? Yes

I have owned almost every edition of the Canon “G” series cameras, including the G3, G5, G6, G7, G9 and G10. In case you’re wondering about the G4 and G8…there weren’t any. It seems that the Japanese have some kind of superstition about the numbers in multiples of 4, so they never named any of... Read full review »

Excellent Point-n-shoot camera with advanced features

Pros excellent natural-light pictures, good ISO, excellent battery, good video recording,...

Cons flash picture quality mediocre, no HD video

Recommended it? Yes

I bought Canon Powershot G10 a couple of months ago and had to sell it because of my need of rotating LCD screen. I bit the bullet and bought this brand new G11. At first I bought G11 for the sole reason of having rotating LCD, but after using it for a while I realized there were also... Read full review »

Like the G10, A Dud

byheartshot77 Aug 23, 2009

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls

Pros Well built and good images in good light.

Cons Basically a 200 dollar P&S in a better body.

Recommended it? No

The G11 is a better camera than the G10 for one reason. It has fewer MP. The move from 15 to about 10 MP was designed to lower noise, especially at higher ISO's, but the G11 is still pretending to be something it's not. Though capable of a good picture in ideal conditions, the tiny sensor and lens... Read full review »

Cons Short Battery Life

Recommended it? Yes

I've had the Canon G11 for 2 months now, and I absolutely love it! I bought it based on a recommendation from a photographer friend of mine, and it's been great! It's expensive, but worth the price. The swivel screen is awesome, and the picture quality is AMAZING It... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Compact

Cons LOTS of red eye

Recommended it? Yes

This takes wonderful pictures. I am not disappointed at all with this camera even though it does capture a lot of red eye. I would pay the price to remove red eye later for this camera. I use it at any event I attend. The pictures are crisp and clear and you will not be disappointed with your... Read full review »

Canon PowerShot G11 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Stabilized Zoom and 2.8-inch articulating LCD

The G Series comes full circle. You asked, and Canon not only listened, but delivered big-time. Advanced amateurs who have overwhelmingly embraced the G Series will be delighted with PowerShot G11, which features RAW mode for unlimited editing options, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and a 2.8-inch Vari-Angle PureColor System LCD. Add to that Canon’s new High Sensitivity System and high-speed ISO for incredible image quality, and Canon’s top-range compact digital camera is a truly groundbreaking successor.
