The max movie recording capability list is 640 x 480, but under the Canon site's "Features" tab, one of the slides say it can record HD movies. I don't think 640 x 480 is considered HD (720p is usually thought to be the minimum standard for "HD") which makes me think that the specifications page may not have the most up to date info.

Yeah, I saw 'HD' thing too, and I would be (happily) surprised to see that 640x480 was not the limit. But seeing as the other new models listed varying levels of video resolution (e.g. 1280x720 for the SX20), and that the S90 shares the same sensor as the G11 and also lists 640x480... I'm not too hopeful.

Still, stranger things have happened]]>Aug 19th 2009 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/• 640 x 480 @ 30fps

It has a mini-HDMI port, but doesn't deliver HD clips.

Seriously. How is it more useful to use the display like pictured in that first picture, than it is to have the display built in, under the viewfinder?

I guess it could be useful for taking myspace-angled shots of yourself, but that's it.

That said, obviously the camera has a lot of great features to offer, and I WANT.]]>Aug 19th 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/I used it a lot on my Powershot G1, and I'm glad it's back.]]>Aug 19th 2009 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/]]>Aug 19th 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/
The point of the G11 is for people who want a high quality camera but not need a separate bag for it which is something you're not going to get from an interchangeable lens camera simply because the lens can't retract into the body]]>Aug 19th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/Aug 19th 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/canon-powershot-g11-hands-on/

I've set up a small petition to motivate Canon to add HD video recording to next years G12.
