If you looked around for a Canon Powershot G11 review, you're most likely looking for a combination of high end features at an affordable price. The Powershot offers both with a classic look and sturdy build.
With a 10mp resolution and excellent low light ISO performance, the G11 has become the camera of choice for those wanting a small camera with the features of a full SLR. A 2.8 inch LCD and stabilized zoom lens make this little camera one to beat. The G11 has improved ISO noise performance over its predecessor the G10 by reducing the resolution and maintaining the sensor size. The G11 still has all of the manual and automatic controls with the G-Series RAW/JPEG options.
The menus and modes are simple and intuitive to use even for those not familiar with the Canon product. Once in the menu, a brief description of each choice is given, making it easy for those who are unsure of what a individual control setting means. There is also a movie mode that allows the user to capture video of up to a 640X480 resolution.
The viewfinder is a 2.8 inch LCD monitor that can swing 180 degrees and can rotate at its connecting point up to 270 degrees. The monitor can be adjusted for different levels of brightness, which helps in areas of bright sunlight or where ambient lighting can make the monitor difficult to see.
No Canon Powershot G11 review would be complete without mention of the ease of use and total convenience. There are some situations where an SLR is just not practical and the G11 provides a way with which to get the same clear, excellent photo without carrying all of the equipment.
The design of the G11 is superior in both construction and erognomics. With a metal body, the G11 feels sturdy in your hands without feeling heavy or encumbered. The substantial grip on the right front of the camera makes the user feel secure while taking pictures with one hand. There are many controls on the front and back of the camera, with the shutter button in a natural position for the index finger on the right hand. With easy access to the controls, changes to the ISO, metering or exposure are easy and done without fumbling to change settings.
After reading this Canon Powershot G11 review, it has to be clear that this just might be the perfect camera for a vacation, family get together , or when you just want to capture those unique moments and preserve them in time.
