The Canon PowerShot G11
Less than a year after the release of the flagship PowerShot product, the G10, Canon have announced the successor to the crown, the G11. More than a few changes have been introduced. The G10’s 14.7MP sensor has been replaced in the G11 with one that Canon describes as a high sensitivity 10 MP CCD. Interestingly, flash sync speed increases to 1/2000th of a second. This is a great feature, and one that many strobist shooters will be very happy about.
I’ve owned a G3 since its release, and while the current model makes it look old and silly, the line of G series cameras have always been known to be of extremly high quality. It’s the one compact camera most likely to be in a professional photographer’s bag. This is because of great image quality and RAW format files in a very compact, unobtrusive format. The styling is also very attractive, with a slight retro feel to it. Pricing for Australia has not been announced as yet, but no doubt it will sit around the $8-900 area, as does the G10.
