The new Canon PowerShot G11 succeeds the G10, which was well received by the market following its October 2008 launch for its high image quality and diverse range of shooting features. The G11 incorporates a Dual Anti-Noise System, comprised of an ultra high-resolution 10.0-megapixel CCD sensor and DIGIC 4 image processor, for greatly reduced noise and expanded dynamic range. This allows users to capture beautiful photos with minimal noise and optimal exposure even in scenes with little light or high contrasts in brightness levels, both difficult shooting environments for conventional compact digital cameras. While inheriting such characteristics of its predecessor model as a wide-angle 28 mm* 5x optical zoom lens, diverse manual recording functions, RAW data recording capability, and compatibility with EOS-series accessories, the PowerShot G11 also incorporates such new advents as a much demanded Vari-Angle 2.8-inch Clear Live LCD V monitor, giving it a variety of features befitting Canon’s flagship compact digital camera.
