Professional photographers will benefit from the 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). Alongside superb image quality, the compact size of the PowerShot G11 and a 2.8-inch vari-angle PureColor II VA LCD (100% coverage) make it the ideal choice for professional photographers to use where an SLR is impractical or obtrusive. The PowerShot G11 also includes i-Contrast technology, which prevents high-light blowout whilst retaining low-light detail – ideal for difficult lighting situations. The digital compact includes the ability to shoot in RAW format and is compatible with Canon’s Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software, ensuring that photo shoots can be easily integrated into a photographer’s workflow. The PowerShot G11 can be used with a wide range of Canon accessories for enhanced shooting options. Underwater photographers can even team the PowerShot G11 with the specially designed Waterproof Case WP-DC34 - an underwater housing allowing full control of the camera at depths down to 40m. The Canon PowerShot G11 includes an HDMI port so users can review images on a full HD screen via an optional HDMI cable. The Canon PowerShot G11 is compatible with SD, SDHC, MMC, MMCplus, HC MMCplus cards, measures 112 x 76 x 48 mm and weighs 355 g (no batt). Scheduled to be available in October, the Canon PowerShot G11 Digital Camera retails for an estimated price of $499.99.
