Canon PowerShot G11 Unboxing Pictures & Review
Canon’s G Series has always been a guarantee of quality DC photography. After the all-hailed G10, Canon tries to continue the success by G11, literally. G11 has no ground-breaking, revolutionary leaps taken. (It has even made a retreat on its pixels from 14.7MP to 10.0MP) Some renovations have been made on its LCD and flash range. Is G11 sufficient enough to stand alone as one powerful shot?
The package includes the G11 camera body, a battery, a charger, a USB cable, an AV cable, a strap, a user’s guide and a CD ROM.
The build of G11 is as hefty and solid as ever. With a weight of 355g, it’s definitely not the portable DC you carry around day in and day out for snaps. The SLR-inclined quality is what you will look for in this juggernaut body.
You can find the three distinct dials for compensation, ISO and mode selection. With the enhanced DIGIC 4 image processor and the new Dual Anti-noise system, G11 has improved noise performance by up to 2 stops when compared to G10. Picture quality is still the trump card here.
There is room for improvement for the viewfinder’s accuracy which is at 77%. Nobody will complain indeed when you have one more option, but it has become more redundant when you have a flip-out LCD that is viewable from a plethora of angles.
G11 has also inherited from G10 its rear controls except that the continuous shots function has been removed from the four-way controller default.
The highlight of G11 is definitely the atavistic comeback of the swivel and tilt LCD. (which can be found in G6!) Although the size has dropped to 2.8 inches, it provides a more flexible way of photo framing.
Here at the bottom you can find the batter compartment.
Canon G11 still performs excellently in terms of its picture quality, the DIGIC 4 image processor is powerful. The Contrast Technology is an amazing light gatherer ensuring bright and sharp images in difficult lighting situations. The flash range has increased to 50cm to 7.0m for wide-angle and 50cm to 4.0m for telephoto. The Japan made body is solid and durable. It is a pity that it still does not come with HD video recording.
