canon-g11It is a very rare case that we see a Megapixel drop in a newer model. Perhaps Canon has understood that increasing the megapixels only aren’t going to satisfy the experienced photographers, so they have come out with the G11 at 10 MP after the highly popular G10 that boasted 14.7MP sensor. We remember the award winning G10 that became popular among the professional photographers with its solid build quality, nice SLR like features and outstanding image quality. Can G11 continue the flagship quality of the G series? We will tell you the answer when we get hands on the digital camera.
