highly recommended

a great back up camera

The g11 works as my daily carry camera I usually shoot with a Nikon 300 and my camera pack weighs 35 pounds.
The camera has two minor faults 1. the view finder does not show a full image of what will be taken. 2. the buttons are to close and you can press the wrong one.
Good points 1. an easy to use manual mode.
2. a wonderful close up setting.
3. a real raw that works fairly fast. Raw works well but tough to install in photo shop cs4. Also you have to import files directly not from Bridge. Get your help from Adobe as the Canon people told me it can not be used,
4. good noise to ISO ratio for a small camera 800 can be used if needed.

Canon G11 Appraisal

I graduated to a G11 after several years of owning a G7. I read all the reviews of the G11 carefully, although I eventually "had" to buy the G11 because I dropped and broke the G7. I have had the G11 for about two months now. Use has included time on a vacation trip. I agree that quality and feel of the body is a step down from the earlier metal bodies, but it is serviceable. I had reservations about the rotating viewing screen. It adds bulk and is potentially a weak point as regards durability. However, it works well and overall the screen versatility is a plus. I entirely agree with others that the picture quality is superb, particularly in low light conditions. My biggest disappointment is the reduced options available for Photostitch as compared to the G7. The Photostitch option is now bundled into the SCN program, instead of having a stand alone slot on the dial. I particularly miss the the option to stitch a panorama in the vertical format. Also, when operating the camera, it is all too easy to touch buttons inadvertently, creating an unwanted option. It would be nice to have a feature that locks the selected settings to prevent such occurrences. If there is such a feature, I have not discovered it. I am still learning the bells and whistles.

Thie camera is easy to use and has an automatic feature that makes acceptable pictures. It also has a host of controls useful to the advanced photographer. The dials are easy to use and the displays give an accurate description of the settings. The viewfinder is a welcome feature that allows one to compose shots in bright light. I am very please with this caCanon PowerShot G11 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Stabilized Zoom and 2.8-inch articulating LCDmera and recommend it

High quality camera with automatic and manual capabilities

I do portraiture and my former camera, my best, most favorite camera of all times, had become inadequate. Often when I was photographing children, the lagtime on the photo being taken was so long that a child would change expressions, talk to another person in the room, turn around and move out of the picture before the photograph was done. Yes, in spite of my love for my Sony Cybershot with the Carl Zeiss lens, it was time to replace the camera. The G11 has changed my photographs dramatically. Certainly, in low light situations, there will still be some lagtime but nothing like most cameras. This camer takes photos to a whole new level.

My husband, who is an artist and photographer, has been insisting for years that my abilities were higher than the camera I have been using (albeit not so high that I need to use his Hasselblad) and he finally made an argument that made it worth my while to change cameras. We would not use my Carl Weiss has a hand-me-down, but instead I could keep it.

Suffice it to say that after a few weeks of using this camera and seeing the beauty of raw files and the gorgeous detail, I handed down my old camera voluntarily. I still use film cameras for some pictures and situations but there is almost no reason to anymore for my purposes. Film and the process of making photographs in the old way still have a certain beauty to them if one enjoys darkroom work.

This camera can be used as a manual camera for those who still prefer to make their own decisions about what is happening in the picture. So many times, you have to work to trick automatic point and shoot cameras to avoid automatic settings. This camera allows you to make choices to be in control of the picture.

There are a lot of interesting technical details to this camera that a lot of people more qualified than I have talked about.

One of the most significant improvements in this camera is its capacity for raw capture. Raw files can be processed outside the camera with software programs without altering the information that was in the original capture. All cameras have some kind of compression or processing algorhythms, which permanently alter the image content. Raw file capability allows images to be processed by special purpose software, like Photoshop and others, without altering the information of the original capture. The raw file is essentially your negative.

One of the paradoxical improvements over its predecessor is that Canon reduced the resolution of the sensor and improved image quality. They have enhanced performance at higher ISOs. Canon has managed to fit a lot of capability into a tool that is lightweight, easy to handle, and easy to carry.

The perfect camera for travel.

I now own three cameras: a Canon Powershot SD600 (very small), a Nikon D70 (very big), and now the Canon G11 .... the perfect mid-size camera for travel. It may not offer all the features of the D70 but it provides me with complete control of aperture and shutter and focus settings ..... all in a very compact package. It bridges the gap between the tiny SD600 and the heavy Nikon SLR. I just returned from a one week vacation trip during which I took over 500 photos with the G11. The picture quality results just blew me away! I found my pictures needed very little "tweaking" (editing) and that they permitted cropping and enlarging with no problems. Most shots were taken at ISO 200 or less, so I have not yet put the camera into low light situations and cannot comment on its high ISO performance. The menu system offers an amazing array of options and choices. I recommend studying it and learning all its features before starting to use the camera. I also found that I can use my SLR's external flash units on the G11 (in manual mode). Bottom line here is that the G11 has surprised me with how well it performed. It is a perfect supplement to my SLR because it is so portable and because it allows me all the controls, settings, and adjustments I need.
