Canon G11. I am first kid on my block to get it!

[Maiku]

Hi,

The Canon G11 is out. I picked mine up this morning from my local camera store. The joys of living in Japan.

It looks exactly like the G10, but with the swivel back view screen. I have not taken any shots as of yet, but will post over the next few days.

I never thought I would be buy a point and shoot digital camera, but with my first child coming next month I thought I needed something small and compact to lug around with her.

Anyway, I cannot wait to post some photos.

You've had the camera for several hours and you have not shot anything with it yet? It's a disgrace, I tell you. 😛

I'd be interested in the low-light/high-iso attributes on this camera. Please do post.

If it were an S90 I'd be impressed.

But the G series interface is so so sooo good.

Are you saying that because of what Ken said?

Who's Ken? The S90 is what I'm excited about. I thought the G11 was a practical joke with it's stop slower lens and its almost larger than an M6 size. I played with one on Monday at my local camera store and laughed. With a stop faster lens, the same sensor and a smaller body I find it a recipe for success.

Anyway, congrats on the G11. I hope you enjoy it.

I like it for the swivel viewfinder. The few results that I have had I have been impressed with at 400 ISO and lower. The real test will come with higher ISOs. There is the expected graininess 3200, but I think, a sharp reduction in the graininess at 1600.

One less stop for me is not a big issue. I like the layout a lot. The layout is convenient and practical. I just like it.

I would love to post some results, but have to head off to bed. Great excuse!

I would love go out tomorrow and test it, but there is a typhoon headed my way. That might throw a wrench into my plans.

Megapixels down from 14 to 10. Does this mean the MP chase is over?

I think that the 7D proved it's not over.
