the G11 is here… + the same price i paid for my G9 nearly two years ago. a huge fan of the 9 as it is one solid little multi platform machine. you have your raw images, quick auto jpgs if you need them, a slew of video settings including a sweet little 1024 + don’t forget the time lapse setting. that later just really does it for me when i want a quick mix of stuff. and with the raw at 12.1 it gives you room to work with in post.

with the G10 last year, however, the rez was bumped up to 14.7 but canon dropped the time lapse. though i haven’t handled one other then once or twice that’s really the only difference. i could care less about the bump up as it’s not worth the trade off in my book.

with the 11 out now, canon continues to knock out a solid g line of cameras that consumers + pros alike are working with, albeit for different reasons. the noise performance might be the most striking feature on the 11 though i’m sure the fold lcd will get a ton of attention (nice flash sync speed of 1/2000th this time around as well). but oddly enough canon has backtracked on the rez with an interesting offering of only 10 megapixels this time around. i’m sure we’ll hear more about this later.

if you don’t have a p+s, or something that you can easily carry nearly anywhere i can’t recommend it enough - “the best camera is the one that’s with you”. just had a blast documenting time in nyc, boston, cape cod + an island the last few weeks with more to come soon.
