Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Grid view for the scene mode would have been preferable, Review button is not placed at the best of places
  • Lost some nice features from the G10, Rear buttons too easy to accidentally push
  • Barrel distortion at the wide end of the zoom. Not as compact as most compacts. No HD video
  • Rear buttons too easy to accidentally push; lost some nice features from the G10
  • ISO performance isn’t great; no HD video recording; pricey
  • Expensive, Slow at only 1.1 fps, Distorted viewfinder, No HD video
  • Shot-to-shot performance still a little sluggish; no HD video
  • Rather slow lens (in terms of aperture) by traditional G series standards, Movies limited to VGA resolution, High ISO images lose saturation and detail (and offer no control over noise reduction), Focus prone to hunting (and focus failure) in low light at
  • Wish they had put a bigger sized chip in the G11 to improve low-light shooting further; no HD video mode
  • Some useful features from the G10 are gone: remote capture, Auto ISO Shift, voice recording, Continuous shooting mode won't win any awards for speed, Movie mode is just VGA, with no use of optical zoom, Ergonomics aren't great: cluttered buttons o

  • Inaccurate viewfinder, Large, heavy compared to most compacts, Expensive
  • Wheel isn't very responsive, Playback to shooting is hit and miss, Portraits are overly warm
  • Viewfinder too small, crowded backplate, soft shutter release
