FOR: Very good reproduction of color, contrast and sharpness.
AGAINST: The zoom ring feels a little clunky.
The Canon PowerShot G11 is
built keeping the professional
shutterbug in mind. The camera
is so feature packed and user friendly
that it actually makes other digital
cameras feel a little too underrated.
With approximate dimensions of 112 x
76 x 48 mm the G11 is big, making it one
of the largest when compared to other
cameras with similar zoom values.
The overall fi t and fi nish is one of the
best we have seen in a digital camera and
with the G11 encased in a black matt body
you can be sure that the camera won’t
attract fi ngerprints. The PowerShot G11
comes with a tilt-swivel screen that gives
the user the freedom to get creative and
capture images and videos from almost
any angle.
Apart from the mode selection dial,
which is a common feature in almost all
cameras, what you also get is a dial mode
for the ISO and EV. In addition to this, the
dial modes have selection markers that
light up when the camera is switched on.
This shows if adjustments can be made to
the ISO or EV depending on the shooting
mode selected. What you also get is an
optical view fi nder along with a hot shoe
to which you can attach an external fl ash.
VIDEO: The G11 handles the overall
contrast and colors extremely well.
However the transition from a decently lit
area to a poorly lit area takes a little time.
COLORS: The overall color reproduction
is brilliant. The saturation level tends to
be on the high side making the overall
picture look a little vibrant.
SHARPNESS: The images are crisp with
excellent reproduction of details with
no apparent distortion. The G11 captures
outstanding macro shots.
NIGHT SHOT: The G11 performs very well
in low light. The images are sharp even
when viewed at full resolution.
This is by far the most consistent digital
camera you can get your hands on. But
with a price tag of Rs 31,995 the G11 is
defi nitely not for the faint of heart.
