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 112x76x48 mm the G11 is big, making it one of the largest when compared to other cameras with similar zoom values.
The overall fit and finish 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 fingerprints. 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 finder along with a hot shoe to which you can attach an external flash.
