  • Earlier G series PowerShots were real objects of desire

  • La qualità costruttiva e la resa fotografica sono di tutto rispetto, la macchina si adatta sia all'appassionato esigente che al meno esperto ma con voglia di crescere
  • Il mirino ottico decisamente migliorabile, il prezzo elevato se non si sfruttano le molte funzioni a disposizione
  • La PowerShot G11 ci ha più che soddisfatto. Svolge bene il ruolo di anello di congiunzione tra il mondo delle compatte e quello delle reflex, tanto che si rischia di valutarla con i parametri delle seconde. Sarebbe troppo, perché si basa comunqu...

  • scharfe Aufnahmen, bedienungsfreundlich, gute Rauschreduzierung, hoher ISOEmpfindlichkeit, großes LCDDisplay, großer Kontrastreichtum
  • nur 10 Megapixel, keine Videoaufnahmefunktion
  • Was nach einer missglückten Sparmaßnahme klingt, entpuppt sich als längst überfällige Entschlackung: Die Canon PowerShot G11 gehört zu den besten Vertretern ihrer Klasse....

  • Trotz – oder gerade wegen – der reduzierten Pixelzahl ge­genüber dem Vorgängermodell, ist die Bildqualität der Canon Powershot G11 klasse. Auch die Ausstattung und Bedienung lassen kaum Wünsche offen. Canon hat mit der Powershot G11 einen Schritt in die r...

  • ausgezeichnete Bildqualität, optischer Sucher, schwenkbares Display
  • etwas langsam, keine HD-Videofunktion
  • Canons PowerShot G11 springt nicht auf den Zug der neuesten Trends im Kompaktkamera-Segment auf. Wechselobjektive oder superschlankes Design? Fehlanzeige. Trotzdem überzeugt die handliche Digicam anspruchsvolle Fotografen dank sehr guter...

  • Zurück von 15 auf 10 Megapixel Auflösung – diese Maßnahme hat die Canon PowerShot G11 entscheidend verbessert! Die etwas wuchtige Kompaktkamera liefert eine in dieser Klasse wirklich sehenswerte Bildqualität und kann in Sachen "Rauschen" bei niedrigen...
