Optical viewfinder; articulated LCD; very good photo quality for its class
Shot-to-shot performance still a little sluggish; no HD video
Though it doesn't offer the whizziest new features like an interchangeable lens or a tiny size, the Canon PowerShot G11 still delivers a good shooting experience for photography enthusiasts. Plus it's the only model that includes an optical viewfinder.

As a professional photographer I need a small compact for some assignments. My other backup camera died on a trip, so I dropped in to a local store and picked up the G11. Meets all my needs. Color depth, overall metering, control, Raw function
slow start up. Have to be careful with type of automatic focus chosen (whether center or face, etc). Give camera time to 'see' the scene in low light. Insure you read the manual. It does come with manual, regardless of other review stating only on CD
