Product Description
The PowerShot G11 is a compact camera that will find favor with professionals and advanced amateur photographers due to its superb image quality, full manual control of settings, and RAW shooting capability. If it's not practical or safe to carry a large DSLR a high-specification compact such as the PowerShot G11 is a fantastic choice. It's great for photographers looking to capture high resolution, high quality, and low light images without having to carry a large SLR system in their kit bags.The G11 features face detection technology that can detect and track numerous faces within the frame to ensure the correct exposure and focus for them. An enhanced i-Contrast system optimizes the dynamic range of subjects to deliver shadow details whilst avoiding highlight blow outs.

 Love my Canon G10 March 3, 2010

I love my Canon G10...although it's a little heavy and doesn't take as great of photos as my Nikon D50...it's much more portable...it's a brick when it comes to weight, but it fits in my purse or a jacket pocket. The battery life and video quality are amazing!!!
It is a Photo-Tool not a Gadget March 3, 2010

Canon G11.
I am not a professional, since I have never made a dollar from the pictures I took. Yet, I have been involved in photography for over 30 years ever since I was in middle school. I have owned mostly Nikon cameras up to F4s, then I switched to digital with Nikon D70 as soon as it became available, and then D300 about two years ago...
I have owned Canon G3 about 6-7 years ago. I immediately fell in love with its articulated LCD. Why? I found it is very useful to take a shoot from different view angles that will make your picture more attractive. And particularly useful if you have just had a small child that starts to claw across your living room floor.
As most of us here, I shop for G11 as a camera that I can take it everyday and everywhere. In my mind it is perfect for that purpose. I bought it as a "tool for photography", so I am not bothered too much for its weight and size. For this G11, what I like the most is that it is extremely easy adjusting almost all important parameters for taking a good photo, such as ISO, shooting mold, exposure compositions, exposure lock. After I get the color balance stored in the short-cut button on the left side of the camera, everything is at my fingertips. I can not found what else I would ever missed. If that is not enough, it provides C1 and C2, to store two customer-settings of your preference.
Of course, it could be better. For those who expect to use G11 for shooting their kid involving in-door sports game or stage performance, they could be disappointed a little. I think it does not focus fast enough, and can only take about one frame per second. OK. That is why we still need DSLR.
In summary, if you are going to get a photo-tool, go for G11.
If you want to show your friends a fancy photo-gadget, go for S90.
In any case, please do not set your expectation unreasonably high to replace the DSLR.
This is my two cents.
Fits perfectly March 2, 2010

Fits perfectly in my hands and between the point and shoot (PnS) and digital Single Lens Reflex (dSLR) camera markets.
I've had my G11 since late October and decided on it after my great, eight year old G2 died, in late September. I was trying to decide between a PnS and an entry dSLR and decided that the G11 was the perfect blend between the two. A significant part of the reason I decided on the G11 was the improved low-light capture quality and that Canon returned to the articulating LCD. Taking RAW and large smooth edge JPG files, at the same time, is a significant feature that few other PnS and many entry level dSLR cameras don't even have.
The G11 has all the creative control of a dSLR and ease of use expected from a PnS. I love being able to adjust the aperture (Av), shutter speed (Tv), ISO and exposure for when I want/need to be creative/controlling and the next use have a full range of PnS presets for capturing memories with family and friends; without having a big, bulky and obtrusive dSLR get in the way of a candid moment.
My only wish for the G11 were that the lens were capable of f2.0, but since most dSLR lenses aren't capable of that, it seems like an extreme wish.
Note: about a week after getting my G11 I noticed a 2x2 pixel white spot, with a 8x6 noisy rosette around it. I only noticed it after looking at several images, at 100%, in Photoshop. I contacted Canon right away and the CCD was fixed quickly; I appreciate their being so responsive.
 this is not a point and click and put in pocket kind of camera March 1, 2010

Ok. Ok. I know the photographers and experts may disagree with this review. But I just want to alert the everyday average folks - this is obviously not a SLR, but it is just bulky enough that it is not a point and click like the other Powershots that I had owned before. In fact, I have a hard time trying to buy a camera bag for it at Target, Staples, Walmart ... you name it. It is just a tad too heavy, just a tad too thick (front to back) and so on. Also, when I bought the camera I read all the reviews and I thought having a LCD screen that you can move out and up and down is kind of cool. In practice, I didn't like it. If that is not the design then the camera would be much thinner. So, all in all, I like it in every way just like the Powershots that I had before with the negative features as outlined above.
