A few image samples showing the abilities of the Canon G11 at night. These are taken with ISO 80, 200 & 800.

“These are a few night shots taken on a recent trip to Ghent. All are handheld straight out of camera JPEGS. The only PP is straightening & cropping.” (Stephenbw)

Laurence Kim published a three-parts, less technical, review that shows the greatness of the Canon PowerShot G11.

Part I – Low light capabilities of the G11 using high ISO levels

Laurance-Kim-G11-Low-Light

“I could be wrong because I’m really not much of a pixel-peeper, but I’d estimate that the noise is slightly more than 1 stop worse than my 20D and a bit more than 1 stop better than my LX3. Nikonians might take issue with this, but I’d say the noise is about equal to the Nikon D200, which was Nikon’s top pro-sumer DSLR only, what, 2 years ago? I can make this claim because I’ve seen thousands of D200 files taken under low light by 2nd shooters I’ve worked with at weddings.” (Laurence Kim) Click to read the rest

Part II – Macro shots using the Canon G11

“My opinion is unchanged:  a high quality point ‘n shoot like the G11 is your best tool for macros. Every shot I took was perfectly in focus and tack sharp.” (Laurence Kim) Click to read the rest

Part III – Shooting portraits using the Canon G11

“Landscapes, macro or portraits, there’s really nothing this camera can’t do. Detail is amazing. Any one of these images would have sufficient detail to print a double truck magazine ad, no problem. In short, the G11 is the best small-sensor compact on the market today.” (Laurence Kim) Click to read the rest

This is one of the first reviews showing what a professional photographer can do with the Canon G11.
