5 out of 5 stars Great for the casual photographer   September 7, 2010
Jason Empson
I'm by no means an avid photographer. None the less this camera gives be more versatility and a significantly higher picture quality than most compact point and shoots I've seen or tried. With relatively little extra effort someone like me can get many more high quality shots. The only thing to keep in mind is that this camera is little larger and heavier than compact point and shoots. If you can get past that (its worth it) then this is a great camera.


5 out of 5 stars Canon PowerShot G11   September 6, 2010
CenterLine (California, USA)
I like the G11 and it is my primary camera. I recently upgraded from the SD850 so it is a nice improvement from that camera. It's not pocket sized like the 850 but it fits nicely in a case that attached to my belt.

It has some nice features on it: it does exposure bracketing, it has a dial on top for exposure compensation and another for ISO speed, and two custom setting modes.

I've been happy with the picture quality and the features. The only thing that could use improvement I think would be it's abilities in low light. The pictures get kind of noisy at high ISOs.

For me it was worth the $450 price. If I had to pick again I would pick the G11.



5 out of 5 stars Love my new Canon G11 camera   September 5, 2010
D. Andres (Carefree, AZ)
This is one of the neatest little point and shot cameras I've owned and I've been through a few. It takes wonderful photos even in poor light. I love the veiwing screen. My last cameras screen couldn't have been more than 2 inches. I have no problem seeing my subject now and reviewing what I've just taken.
The only disappointing thing about this camera is the video sound. If very close to your subject it's not bad, but if at some distance, let's say 10 feet, it's very difficult to hear what is being recorded.



5 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars Canon G11 or S90......   August 27, 2010
Jiunjr Feng (Fremont, CA USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.
