Description
The PowerShot G11 is a compact camera that will find favor with professionals and advanced amateur photographers due to its superb image quality, full manual control of settings, and RAW shooting capability. If it's not practical or safe to carry a large DSLR a high-specification compact such as the PowerShot G11 is a fantastic choice. It's great for photographers looking to capture high resolution, high quality, and low light images without having to carry a large SLR system in their kit bags.
The G11 features face detection technology that can detect and track numerous faces within the frame to ensure the correct exposure and focus for them. An enhanced i-Contrast system optimizes the dynamic range of subjects to deliver shadow details whilst avoiding highlight blow outs.

5x zoom lens
The 5x zoom lens on the PowerShot G11 extends down to a 28mm equivalent in 35mm format, making it perfect for capturing wide-angle scenes, and zooms in to the equivalent of 140mm. Combined with an optical 4-stop IS mechanism this ensures sharp images even when the camera is hand held in low light and at longer focal lengths. -
Dual anti-noise system
As seen in the Canon DSLR models, like the EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 50D, the DIGIC 4 processor carries out image processing in-camera and in combination with the high-sensitivity 10.0 Megapixel delivers full resolution shooting up to ISO 3200 for exceptional performance in all lighting conditions. -
2.8-inch vari-angle PureColor II VA LCD
The LCD screen has 461,000 dots giving a clear and sharp view on images either when shooting or in playback mode. It includes a real time histogram display so you can easily view conditions and alter your shooting settings if required. -
RAW shooting
Many professionals prefer to shoot in RAW mode rather than shooting JPEGs. The PowerShot G11 features a RAW recording mode so that you can obtain the highest quality images possible from the camera and integrate the G11 easily into your RAW workflow. -
Auto white balance
A technology from the EOS DSLR series the G11 has a white balance correction feature that allows you to adjust white balance correction in-camera so you can fine-tune for the colors you want in your pictures.
