Question: Canon g10 .v. canon g11 - which one is better?

(Posted by: fultonbme on 2010-01-08 19:34:28)

The Canon G10 has 14 x mp yet the newest release of the Canon G11 only has 10 x mp - I would have thought that any new releases would be better than before, so really the G11 should have more mp than the G10 but it does not - so at the end of the day, which one would you purchase and why?

More megapixels doesn't automatically guarantee better image quality. With compact sized cameras (which have a small image sensor) more MP usually means MORE noise. The new G11 is actually better and produces less image noise than the G10...because it has LESS Megapixels. Canon knows this and that is why they reduced the megapixels on the G11. So, don't be fooled by the megapixel hype and be confident in choosing the G11 over the G10.

The G11 has less megapixels but is said to have better performance in low-light. Being an upgrade from G10, the G11 also has a couple of new features that the G10 didn't have. I would choose the G11.

Below I listed a link to a hands on review of the G11 and it has comparisons to the G10 including some visual comparisons. Hope this helps. Mark
