The G Series Comes Full Circle.
You asked, and Canon not only listened, but delivered big-time. Advanced amateurs who have overwhelmingly embraced the G Series will be delighted with the PowerShot G11, which features RAW mode for unlimited editing options, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and a 2.8-inch Vari-Angle PureColor System LCD. Add to that Canon’s new High Sensitivity System and high-speed ISO for incredible image quality, and Canon’s top-range compact digital camera is a truly groundbreaking successor.

• New 10.0 Megapixel sensor coupled with Canon’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor designed as the High Sensitivity System for improved low light image performance.
• Full range of shooting and recording modes including RAW + JPEG for the ultimate creative control.
• Large, bright 2.8-inch Vari-angle LCD with 461,000 dots for shooting at a variety of angles plus an optical viewfinder.
• A host of optional accessories including Speedlite flashes, underwater housing and Tele-Converter Lens are available.
• A high-powered Wide-Angle 5x Optical Zoom (equivalent to 28 – 140mm) with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer gets you up close and personal to your subjects.
• DIGIC 4 Image Processor improves the overall camera performance.
• HDMI output for viewing still images on an HDTV.
• Improved Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper setting for the camera based on 22 predefined shooting situations.

Image Quality That’s Better Than Ever.
New 10.0 Megapixel sensor coupled with Canon’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor designed as the High Sensitivity System for improved low light image performance.
The PowerShot G11 employs a newly-developed, 10.0 Megapixel High Sensitivity System by combining a powerful CCD sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor. Thanks to this technological advancement, the G11 is dramatically more sensitive than cameras with identical megapixel counts, and delivers spectacular images with minimal noise.

1 Star Poor Sensor Quality
I will never buy Canon again. The “G” series is not as good as you think. My G9 sensor failed within 18 months. I sent it in to Canon for repair $169. Worked fine for 11 months, then the new sensor failed, with multiple dead pixels, and a phantom “line” vertically across my photos. For the price of these cameras, this is not acceptable.

Canon failed to make ANY sort of concession, they suggested I buy a NEW Canon. Right. A casual user might not notice the dead pixels cropping up, if they don’t do large prints. I suggest previous owners who have given good reviews take a “pixel-eye” view of their latest photos to see what I mean. They may be changing their ratings.

5 Stars Great camera!
Easy to use, great features ans not too bulky to carry around. Absolutely love this camera and the photos it takes!

5 Stars Canon G11 SDHC Memory Recommendation and Features
I’ll get around to the memory recommendation in a minute. I purchased the Canon G11 and a Canon underwater housing (130′ rated) for scuba diving. The combo works very well together. The camera has an underwater preset mode which produces exceptional scuba diving photos. The G11 was a little intimidating at first but after a few hours of punching buttons and reading the manual, it was clear that the camera has many advanced features and wasn’t all that difficult to use. It includes numerous preset modes, (underwater,snow,portrait,action,foliage,etc,etc,etc)to make taking great pictures easy. I was truly inpressed with the possibilities. I have taken numerous stills (with and without enhancements)and videos. The photos and video have been impressive. It can do color swap, and color enhancements, like taking a picture of a child holding a red rose and only the red rose has color, the child can remain black and white. Very cool stuff.

Back to the memory thing….

I wanted to know what Size (GB) and Class (2,4,6,10) of SDHC card Canon recommended to optimize the cameras performance. The new SDHC cards have a Size in gigabytes and a Class. (Some cards show a Multiplier like 100x, 133x or even 400x). The Class and the Multiplier are essentially the same thing, transfer speeds. The bigger the number the faster the transfer rate.

The camera doesn’t come with a memory card and the manual doesn’t tell you what to buy. So, I sent a note to Canon and they responded within 24 hours and answered me on a Sunday. “Thumbs up” on Canon Customer Service.

Here is there response:

Thank you for writing to us regarding Memory card choices for your PowerShot G11.

While we don’t publish the internal transfer rates for our cameras, the following information may assist you in deciding on memory cards:

Some memory cards rate their speeds by a “class.” Canon cameras are recommended to be used with cards rated are class 4 for SD (Standard Definition movies) and class 6 for HD (High Definition Movies) or higher because of the large amount of data being written to the card. As long as the card adheres to the following card standards, the memory card should be compatible regardless of the class or speed rating.

The PowerShot G11 will accept SDHC memory cards with a capacity of up to 32GB.

My Comments:

The cost for the SDHC cards vary all over the place. I have used a Class 2 card and it seemed to work fine. However, I wanted to see if bigger and faster was better so I ordered a Verbatim 16GB, Class 6 ($52). I got a “memory card error” with two of my cameras and now have to return it. (It was big, fast and cheap, but didn’t work). I have two other Sandisk Class 4 cards that work fine. So go with Sandisk. A little more money, but they work. I picked up a Sandisk SDHC 8GB Class 10 for around $58, shipped. The 8GB card gives you around 2990 photos or 240 minutes of video. The larger capacity cards seem to be exponentially more expensive. The Class 10 is fast enough for good recovery time between shots and high quality video. The Canon manual lists several different type of compatible memory, but go with the SDHC card.

I hope you find this helpful…..it’s a great camera, packed with features, and if you’re into scuba diving…even better.

3 Stars Huge disappointment after loving the G9 – all pictures are washed out – poor color quality1
I had the previous version, the Canon Powershot G9, and LOVED IT. It finally stopped working so I immediately ordered the most updated version, the G11. This camera was HORRIBLE. The color is completely washed out in every picture I took on my recent trip to Alaska, and is a huge disappointment. I even adjusted many different things along the way to try and remedy the color, but nothing worked. I will now spend much time “adjusting” the color using computer programs; which should not be required, but is the unfortunate situation. Positive features are the size, and a great battery life; however, if you are interested in a camera that will portray even a fraction of the vibrant colors and landscapes that you may encounter in amazing places like Alaska, look elsewhere. In addition, I am not sure why Canon chose to both reduce the megapixel size from previous versions (G9 was 12.0; G11 is 10.0) AND reduce the zoom range!

5 Stars Great Camera!!!!
I love photography- I have been snapping and developing my own film for years. However, it is a pain to always lug my professional camera with me; especially if I just want a night on the town with my girlfriends. Plus, sometimes I would want someone to take a picture for me and unfortunately unless someone knew about professional SLR cameras no one could work mine! So I had been looking for a professional quality point and shoot with convenience and ease that even an amateur photographer could grasp. And this was it!!!! It take gorgeous high quality shots, yet is simple to use and the rotating screen is excellent for self timed pictures or hard to see areas! I highly recommend this camera to both first time buyers and long standing photographers!

1 Star DO NOT BUY THIS
A waste of money. The USB connection device fell apart the first day. The software does not work on Macs OR Windows XP. In fact, my linux laptop could not even recognize the drive. If I could rate this as a zero star item, I would.

1 Star Not worth it
I bought this item thinking it was going to be just like the one from Colby. I got crap. It worked, as long as you want a light image of all your pictures. I even went to the screen where you can adjust the brightness / contrast. I darkened it to the maximum it will let you. Still very light pictures. I sent it back. The one my mom has, she loves. Colby has good picture quality and same size as this. When I requested my money back, it took them over a month to refund me a check. Buyer Beware on this one.

5 Stars Fun gift
I chose this item because it claimed to hold the most photos of all the keychain photo viewers. It was less expensive than some of the others, so I didn’t know what to expect. I have been pleasantly surprised.It comes in a nice pink gift box, and was very easy to use and put photos on (which is good, because the instructions have been so poorly translated that they are amusing reading). It will make a great gift for my mother.

5 Stars Great for sharing !
Just purchased this item and am pleasantly surprised.

My wife and I travel extensively and this allows us to share pictures of our adventures…without bulky glossy photos. We’ve actualy attached it to our carry on…holds over 100 pictures and the slide show is a nice touch.

Would purchase…again !
