 Awesome little camera! August 31, 2010
Nastassia
I have been lugging around my DSLR and all its lenses and accessories wherever I go and feel awkward sometimes but a friend recommended a Canon G series camera. I did a lot of research and decided to buy the G11. I have it for about 2 weeks now and i absolutely am in love with it! its portable, I love the swivel screen too. and i dont need to be changing lenses. Its perfect for me. I would recommend anyone to buy this.
Canon G11 or S90...... August 27, 2010

There are way many reviews about G11 and S90, and it's the most headache thing for me to select the correct one, which I would like to spend money on walk and shoot porpose instead of carrying my Canon 30D. After deep thinking and borrow G11 and S90 from friends to play couple days. Yes, I like S90, which is a perfect size compact camera. It have way more advantages and improvements. However, G11 fits more my personal requirements.
I finally choose G11.
Here are reasons:
1. Both G11 and S90 are based on Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor, so everyone feels both with the same performance. I have to say not true. You can check Canon 50D, which is also Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor, but people use Canon 50D not saying S90 the same as 50D. The reason is all about lens. S90 F2.0-4.9 is btter than G11 F2.8-4.5. This is my key concern for selecting S90 instead of G11, so I took some indoor pictures with both S90 and G11. After comparing those picture, I would say, S90 is awesome, but G11 is good enojugh because low light mode did help with Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor improvement.
2. S90 has bigger LCD, which is 3.0", but G11 LCD size is only 2.8". 3.0" LCD is bigger, but I want to take my picture on my self for fun sometimes, so G11 LCD is cool on it as my very very old PRO70 (Canon first semi-SLR in 1998). I would say that I am happy to have such adjustable LCD again.
3. G11 Quick Shoot Mode, which S90 not provided, is the key feature for me to select G11. It does help a lot to catch those pictures when my son is kicking soccer or doing other excersises. Even this mode is a battery drinker because it keep the camera nonstop focus on target, I have to prepare another backup battery.
4. Shutter Speed. G11 has Auto (1 - 1/4000 sec) and S90 only has Auto (1 - 1/1600 sec). It's another key for me to choose it because my kids won't stand there for letting me to take their cute pictures. They are moving around everywhere unstoppable.
5. Closest Focus, G11 is 1cm, and S90 is 5cm. I would say G11 better on it due to my job related to electronic design. Many components are way smaller than usual.
6. G11 has optical view finder. It's not a key concern, but I just like it since I used many digital and tranditional cameras with optical view finder most of time from 8 years old and already get use into it. It's just a personal reason that my eyes don't like digital view finder.
I would say G11 is a camera with most required functions as I expected. S90 is also a good camera. It really depends on your purpose and expecting of the camera. If it's just a street camera with few club or at home indoor low light picture without flash casually, S90 is good enough for it and way better than pervious Canon S, SD, or A products. If you have a very young unstoppable kid or lovely excersise child, G11 can provide better solutions for you.
 A mini SLR camera August 27, 2010

I've been looking for an SLR camera for ages..but wasn't willing to spend the big bucks. I settled for a Canon G11 based on the reviews and recommendations from friends. I love this camera and am so happy that I purchased it. It's easy to use and I love how there are settings to help me decide which features to use when taking pictures in different atmospheres. This camera is pretty easy to use, but you need to study some of the advanced capabilities such as aperture and ISO speed. I'd recommend this camera to people who do not want to carry a huge SLR with them, aren't willing to spend the big bucks, and want to be an amateur photographer!
This is the camera for me! August 27, 2010

I have been into photography for over 30 years. I have shot with an Argus C3 35mm to start, Nikkormats, Nikon F, Pentax ME Super, Compact 110 cameras, polaroids, etc. I got into digital maybe 10 years ago with a Nikon Coolpix 950, Coolpix 995, then a Nikon D70. I enjoy shooting Macro and I love the outdoors. I sold my Ultra Wide Angle lens on Ebay and used the proceeds to buy this camera. It was the best investment I have made. So, it doesn't have all the features of my D70, but its got me out there taking pictures. This camera is the perfect size to take hiking, day trips etc. I highly recommend this camera. I have had it a little over a month and it seems to be excellent quality, durable, easy to use. I still have some things to learn, but I am to the point that I shoot primarily in RAW mode and Manual. I am involved in a greeting card company, so I shoot a lot of stock photos for the cards that I send. The prints I have made come out great! If you are on the fence with this camera, I would say buy it and you will not regret it!
