The Canon Powershot G11 is a top of the range compact digital camera which has many DSLR features. It makes for the perfect backup camera for the professional photographer looking to give the DSLR camera a rest, and could also make for a rather pricey first camera for the really enthusiastic amateur photographer.
Well built with good handling
At first glance, the Canon Powershot G11 looks well built and comes with a robust design which definitely will make anyone question the ‘compact’ digital camera tag associated with the device. The G11 is also a very well though-out digital camera with the controls, LCD screen and a optical viewfinder all being well placed in a way that makes the digital camera easy to use. The G11 has a nice weight to it and feels incredibly comfortable in hand with its large handgrip. The front of the camera is mostly dominated by the camera’s lens, while the built-in flash features just above the lens. The back of the camera looks rather complicated, with most of the controls being evenly splayed out on the camera’s posterior. However, on the back of the camera we also find the device’s LCD screen and optical viewfinder.
Good features

The Canon Powershot G11 is packed full of awesome features, starting with the 10-megapixel CCD camera sensor which has been reduced from the 14.7 megapixel camera sensor which was offered with the G10. The camera sensor has been coupled with a 5x optical zoom lens with a focal range of 28-140mm, 35mm equivalent. Images are processed by the DIGIC 4 image processor and the compact digital camera also comes with an ISO sensitivity range of ISO 80-3200. The digital camera comes with RAW shooting, image stabilisation, a flash hot shoe and a number of manual shooting modes.
Good image quality
When it comes to image quality, the Canon Powershot G11 produces some good images which come out really sharp with fine detailing. Colours are also vivid and natural. The Canon compact digital camera handles noise with ease and at ISO 3200 still produces some usable results. With a maximum shutter speed of 15 seconds, the G11 performs well at night and handles low light environments with ease as the built-in flash produces no red-eye effect. The Macro mode performance is also impressive, allowing users focus from as close as 1cm.
The Canon Powershot G11 comes highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality compact digital camera. It’s built well, has amazing features and produces some really good images comparable to even more expensive digital cameras. The Canon G11 goes for just under £340 and users will honestly feel that they’ve made an awesome buy if they invest in it.
