Was I hoping for better zoom? Yes. Bigger sensor? Yes. 720p? Yes. Stereo sound? Yes. Better codec? Yes. Optical zooming during video? Yes. Faster continuous shooting? Yes.

It takes virtually zero effort to throw in a lower MP sensor, and minimal effort to engineer a rotating screen, something that the G6 had! Don't get me wrong -- this is an improvement to one of the coolest cameras on the market...

It depends on your requirements. Certainly a DSLR will generally produce better images, particularly when combined with a quality lens, but you have to consider that the G11 is considerably more portable ("pardon me, but is that a DSLR with a 70-200mm f/2.8 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"). Further, such cameras can be used in places where professional photographers are not welcome without being attacked by the camera police. I believe that quite a lot of professionals will use a camera like this as a backup as well.

@Patriks7

Yes, well, you are clearly a nugget. There is nothing wrong with the Nikon D40. Most Nikon lenses designed to be used on a camera with an APC-sized sensor will have a Silent Wave motor. For those non-AFS lenses you can always use manual focusing - really, it's not difficult.]]>Aug 19th 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/Aug 19th 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/The G11 is designed for people who want more than a point and shoot, so for the same price range, are you better off getting a really good entry level DSLR instead?

What answer do you want to hear? Only I seem to recall telling you that something like the G11 is a good solution when you need something smaller than a DSLR or as a backup but yet you insist on suggesting that it is comparable to a "normal" point-n-shoot, which it isn't (the addition of manual controls and RAW support is your clue here), and that you'd be better off buying a DSLR. If you already know the answer to your question then don't waste our time asking it, particularly if you are not prepared to listen to alternative view points.]]>Aug 20th 2009 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/Aug 19th 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/Aug 19th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/Aug 19th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/Aug 19th 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/Aug 19th 2009 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/
This is my fearless forecast: The Panasonic Lumix LX4 will be coming out soon and blow the G11 out of the water! Only SIX MONTHS from now, Canon will release the G12 with HD video and a re-designed body (Without the rotating LCD screen, of course. They will be saving that for the G16)!]]>Aug 19th 2009 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/A sad day for me, as I was looking forward to this release...]]>Aug 19th 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-outs-new-powershots-g11-s90-sx20-is-sx120-is-sd980-is/

They went down from 14m to 10m but still the same sensor, right?
