The Canon PowerShot G11 is an updated model of the very successful Canon G10 model. The G10 has been very popular for many reasons. While most of us love to take pro-like photos, not all of us are willing to lug a gigantic DSLR camera along with us everywhere we go. For that reason, the Canon G series aim to combine the portability of a point-and-shoot camera with some of the high-end features of a professional camera.

The Canon PowerShot G11 intends to continue this tradition by introducing several new features and some improvements over the older G10 model. For instance, the new model has a 10MP image sensor that is a step down from the 14.7MP on the G10. This may actually be a blessing in disguise as a camera with a lower image sensor produces lower noise levels in the typical shot.

The new Canon PowerShot G11 also sports a huge 2.80-inch articulating LCD display that can be swiveled at various angles. This gives the G11 much more versatility in taking shots from a variety of odd angles. Other features include the 5x wide-angle optical zoom, the use of the new DIGIC 4 processor, and iSaps technology, Like most new digital camera models, it also has a HDMI for you to connect the camera straight to a HDTV for viewing the images that you have taken. Design wise, the G11 sports a similar look to the G10 except that it now looks a little more streamlined. If there is one thing that has remained unchanged, it would be the superb image quality. The quality of the photos is easily the best in its class coupled with a wide range of manual functions. Currently, the Canon PowerShot G11 is selling for around $499. It is a definite must-have for anyone who is looking for point-and-shoot digital camera on steroids!
