Canon PowerShot G11

Canon PowerShot G11

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

The good: Optical viewfinder; articulated LCD; very good photo quality for its class.

The bad: Shot-to-shot performance still a little sluggish; no HD video.

The bottom line: Though it doesn't offer the whizziest new features like an interchangeable lens or a tiny size, the Canon PowerShot G11 still delivers a good shooting experience for photography enthusiasts. Plus it's the only model that includes an optical viewfinder.
