The G Series Comes Full Circle.
You asked, and Canon not only listened, but delivered big-time.
Advanced amateurs who have overwhelmingly embraced the G Series will
be delighted with the PowerShot G11, which features RAW mode for
unlimited editing options, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and a 2.8-inch
Vari-Angle PureColor System LCD. Add to that Canon's new High
Sensitivity System and high-speed ISO for incredible image quality,
and Canon's top-range compact digital camera is a truly
groundbreaking successor.

Canon has announced a handful of
compact cameras including models aimed squarely at keen
photographers. Top of the line is the PowerShot G11, successor to
its flagship PowerShot G10 compact released last year. The G11
replaces the G10's 14.7MP sensor with what it describes as a high
sensitivity 10 MP CCD though it still uses the same 28-140mm
equivalent stabilized lens. The camera also gains a tilt and swivel
LCD, though the size drops to 2.8 inches. Flash sync speed increases
to 1/2000th of a second and HDMI output is also added. Other
features include Dual Anti-Noise System (more sensitive sensor and
Digic 4 offering a claimed 2-stop improvement over the G10), RAW
shooting and P/A/S/M shooting modes.

Salient
Features for Canon Powershot G11
Image Quality That's Better Than
Ever.
New 10.0 Megapixel sensor coupled with Canon's DIGIC 4 Image
Processor designed as the High Sensitivity System for improved low
light image performance.
The PowerShot G11 employs a newly-developed, 10.0 Megapixel High
Sensitivity System by combining a powerful CCD sensor and Canon's
DIGIC 4 Image Processor. Thanks to this technological advancement,
the G11 is dramatically more sensitive than cameras with identical
megapixel counts, and delivers spectacular images with minimal
noise. Increased sensitivity demands a higher ISO speed, and the
PowerShot G11 delivers with a new maximum setting of ISO 3200. Blur
and camera shake are notably reduced for the ultimate in sharpness
and clarity.
In addition, a new Low Light mode
lets you capture images in an astonishing range of conditions. The
camera automatically adjusts the ISO speed from ISO 320 to ISO 12800
in relation to ambient brightness, subject movement and camera
shake.
Creative Power in Your Control.
Full range of shooting and recording modes including RAW + JPEG
for the ultimate creative control.
The PowerShot G11's RAW mode lets you shoot images without JPEG
compression. It gives you clearer images and complete creative
control in editing. RAW images are transferred directly to the
computer where they can then be edited using image adjustment
software or a processing application to adjust your images as you
please. The camera can also be set to allow the simultaneous
recording of both RAW and JPEG images while shooting.
A View That's a Pure Pleasure.
Large, bright 2.8-inch Vari-angle LCD with 461,000 dots for
shooting at a variety of angles plus an optical viewfinder.
The PowerShot G11 gives you a large 2.8-inch PureColor System LCD
screen for excellent control when framing your shots. But size is
only part of the story. Canon's PureColor System LCD offers
spectacular color, resolution and contrast even at an angle. The
screen is durable and easy to see. It is a perfect feature for
gathering friends and family around to see your images.

The Creative Freedom You've
Wanted.
A host of optional accessories including Speedlite flashes,
underwater housing and Tele-Converter Lens are available.
The PowerShot G11 is compatible with the Speedlite flash series
intended for all EOS series SLR cameras. Attach a Speedlite flash to
the hot shoe, then you can set and control the flash on the "Flash
Control" menu in the camera. With a Speedlight, the G11 is given
extra functions such as autoflash metering, FE lock and Flash
exposure compensation; continuous shooting with external flash. Also
Canon's Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 enables you to have multiple
slave flashes and wireless control. A Tele-Coverter lens designed
for the G11 and WP-DC34 Waterproof Case are also available.
Get More in the Frame.
A high-powered Wide-Angle 5x Optical Zoom (equivalent to 28 - 140mm)
with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer gets you up close and personal
to your subjects.
The camera is equipped with a long, 5x Optical Zoom, and Canon's own
Optical Image Stabilizer Technology keeps images steady and
blur-free all through the zoom range - even in low light - by
detecting motion and generating a corrective signal. Because it is
an optical system, more corrective movement is allowed and there is
no degradation of image quality.
A World of Advantages With Canon's
New Technology.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor improves the overall camera performance.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon's proprietary DIGIC Image Processors have long set its cameras
apart from the competition, and the new DIGIC 4 sets the bar even
higher. Faster, more accurate noise reduction delivers better image
quality, even at high ISO speeds.
HDMI output for viewing still
images on an HDTV.
With the advanced PowerShot G11, you can capture breathtaking,
high-resolution still images and impressive standard definition
movies with ease. The camera also makes it simple to enjoy and share
your stills and SD movies with a mini-HDMI connector for direct
connection to a high-definition monitor or HDTV, so every color and
nuance can be appreciated like you intended them to be.
Instant Creative Control.
Improved Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper setting for
the camera based on 22 predefined shooting situations.
Just set the Canon PowerShot G11 to Smart AUTO and you're ready for
maximum enjoyment from your picture taking every time. It's a
relaxing and satisfying way to shoot because you can completely
concentrate on your subject knowing that the camera has the
technical details covered. Advanced Canon technology intelligently
analyzes your situation and shooting conditions. Then it
automatically selects an appropriate setting from specially defined
settings. So whether you're photographing flowers, a captivating
sunset, or your friends at the park, you can be confident that
you're getting dramatic, memorable images.
