Canon announce the launch of the feature packed Canon PowerShot G11 digital camera, the successor to the multi award-winning PowerShot G10 - the favourite compact of professional photographers. Professional photographers will benefit from the Canon G11’s greatly expanded dynamic range.
Canon’s new Dual Anti-Noise System combines a high sensitivity 10.0 Megapixel image sensor with Canon’s enhanced DIGIC 4 image processing technology to increase image quality and greatly improve noise performance by up to 2 stops (compared to PowerShot G10). The Canon PowerShot G11 also includes i-Contrast technology, which prevents high-light blowout whilst retaining low-light detail - ideal for difficult lighting situations
Canon PowerShot G11 camera features 
The premium quality Canon lens delivers picture-perfect performance, offering a 5x wide angle (28mm) zoom with optical Image Stabilizer (IS). This allows handheld shots to be taken at much slower shutter speeds (4-stops) than conventional non-IS models - allowing perfect shooting in darker conditions or at a lower ISO. The Canon PowerShot G11 also greatly reduces blur caused by camera shake, photographers can shoot at longer focal lengths and in lower light conditions without the need for a tripod.
Canon G11 a compact camera for professional photographers 
Alongside superb image quality, the compact size of the Canon PowerShot G11 camera and a 2.8-inch vari-angle PureColor II VA LCD (461k dots) make this digital camera the ideal choice for professional photographers to use where an SLR is impractical or obtrusive. The Canon G11 is ergonomically designed for faster, accurate menu scrolling. Analogue style dials for ISO and exposure compensation give photographers instant, familiar access to common settings and features.
Canon PowerShot G11 offers maximum flexibility and great image quality
Stephen Munday, Senior Operations Director, Editorial, Getty Images, comments: "The quality of images delivered by the Canon G Series are so good that we use PowerShot G10 images within our editorial library, and our photographers using the G series models because of the image quality and flexibility they provide.”
Canon PowerShot G11 deals with any light condition
The Canon PowerShot G11 digital camera is equipped to deal with any light condition. Low Light mode enables photographers to shoot up to ISO 12,800 in reduced 2.5MP resolution at 2.4fps capturing brilliant shots indoors without the need for a flash, whilst a built-in Neutral Density (ND) filter decreases light levels by 3 stops allowing creative control in bright conditions.
