  • Abstract:  La série PowerShot G est la série des compacts que Canon destine aux experts/pros. Entendre par là un boîtier plus léger qu'un encombrant reflex, mais à l'ergonomie similaire. Car une fois qu'on a goûté aux charmes de la maîtrise de son boîtier, rie...

  • grand angle, ergonomie, finition, écran LCD rotatif, capteur de 10 millions de pixels qualité d'image, possibilité de réglage, stabilisation, griffe porte accessoire, le prix.
  • pas de vidéo HD.
  • Canon reste dans la démarche de l’évolution dans la continuité. Le petit dernier, le G11, et le G10 se ressemblent comme deux gouttes d’eau. Avec le PowerShot G11, Canon parvient cependant à améliorer son compact exper...

  • Abstract:  Apparue en septembre 2000, la gamme PowerShot de Canon est sans doute l'une des plus anciennes familles de compacts experts existantes encore. Malgré des modèles plus ou moins réussis, la gamme G s'est assurée un joli succ&e...

  • Ergonomie réussie, beaucoup de réglages disponibles, Qualité des images jusqu'à 800 ISO. Mode Raw, Ecran LCD monté sur rotule, Autofocus réactif dans la plupart des situations (lampe d'assistance), Sortie HDMI, griffe flash compatible avec les modèles de la marque
  • Pas de mode vidéo HDTV, Viseur optique peu précis, mais présent, Rafale trop lente, Autonomie limitée à 300 vues

  • Abstract:  Après plus d'une année de loyaux services, le Canon PowerShot G10 (testé) tire sa révérence et cède sa place de compact expert au nouveau venu logiquement baptisé PowerShot G11. Si l'allure générale semble identique, certaines modifications importan...

  • Abstract:  La Canon PowerShot G11 offre lo stesso form factor dei modelli che l'hanno preceduta. In particolare, la differenza estetica con il modello G10 è praticamente impercettibile. Sembra anche un controsenso il fatto che questo nuovo modello monti un sensore d...

  • La domanda che la maggior parte delle persone si pone è: "Ha senso comprare una macchina fotografica di questo genere?". Stanziare il budget per l'acquisto di una Canon Powershot G11 e poi utilizzarla solo in pieni automatismi al pari di una qualsiasi ...

  • Ce l’ha fatta la nuova regina a conquistarsi il trono? Secondo noi si.La G11 è un prodotto eccezionale nella sua fascia di mercato, e pur costando una cifra ragguardevole (tra i 500 e i 600 euro nei negozi italiani) la sua unicità la rende...
