The Canon Powershot G11 is a Compact Digital Camera with a 1/1.7" sensor. Its 10 Megapixels CCD sensor offers an ISO 80-3200 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 80-3200. With 10 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 15" x 11" at 240 DPI.
A builtin Image Stabilization mechanism allows the Canon Powershot G11 to compensate for camera shake.
This camera features a mechanic shutter that can expose for 1/4000 to 15s. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/4000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.
The Canon Powershot G11 features a 9-point Contrast-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. Manual Focus is also available.
Although this camera offers full manual controls, it does not have any control-dials to change exposure parameters directly. This camera does not feature any seals to protect it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. Care must be taken, just like with most electronics. Framing on the Canon Powershot G11 is performed via an Optical Tunner Viewfinder.
