The Canon Powershot G11 is one of the most advanced compact digital cameras you will find. It is aimed at the serious enthusiast or even a professional photographer who requires the portability of a smaller camera. With a variety of manual features available to you it offers a similar level of control over your picture taking that you would expect to achieve with a Digital SLR camera. The Powershot G11 can also be used in fully automatic mode if you are sharing the camera with a partner or family where others are looking for a simpler camera.

Features include a 10 megapixel sensor and a 5x wide angle lens. Image stabilisation has been built into the lens. The Powershot G11 is also one of the few compact models to include a RAW mode. This gives you much greater flexibility for post shooting image manipulation.

Two areas that Canon claim have been enhanced from previous models are a greater dynamic range and better noise control. The increased dynamic range should lead to extra detail being captured in photos with high contrast. The improved noise handling should produce better picture quality when faced with the challenges posed by lowlight.

Another feature worth mentioning is the 2.8 inch LCD screen. The screen can be pulled out and twisted round. This makes it much easier to see the screen in difficult shooting positions.
