Canon's new PowerShot G15 replaces the popular G12 and is the second G-series model released this year (although the G1X's large sensor puts it in a different class). We're not sure why Canon skipped the intervening numbers but the latest iteration maintains the same basic design and handling...

The PowerShot G15 is the latest advanced serious compact camera from Canon. Daniel Bell reviews.

Fast f/1.8-2.8 lens; Full 1080p HD video recording; 10 fps continuous shooting at full resolution; Much improved screen resolution; 1cm minimum focusing distance; Excellent image quality; Images are usable throughout the ISO range; Plenty of creativity modes

Some may have preferred the articulating screen that the; Using the optical viewfinder may be a little uncomfortable for some; Price puts it up there with mirrorless cameras and entry-level DSLRs

I bought this camera to substitute my 60D when I'm travelling, which is most of the time. It is as the DPReview test states, a solid camera whose deeper modes and features are easily accessible without having to dive into menus or go searching for elusive buttons.

In some recent reviews, we've taken Canon to task for a lack of innovation in their consumer-oriented product lines. The ELPH 110 HS , PowerShot S110 , and EOS Rebel T4i were all frankly lazy updates to well-worn camera concepts, and the time-battered T3 hasn't even gotten an update.

Many "professional" reviews compare this camera to similar "large sensor" cameras and conclude that the large sensor cameras "win" - but you should ignore those reviews. The optics on this camera blow away the competition - there is no 5x zoom point-and-shoot camera with an F2.8 lens at maximum...

I had been waiting for an update to G12 and Canon hit a bulls eye with this camera. One could argue about G1X etc but I was looking for not just something more portable and handy for the situations when I did not want to lug my DSLR equipment around but something which would provide me with all the...

Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Great Zoom; Large Clear LCD; Short Lag Time

Camera was damaged and I had to send it back. Whether the damage occurred in the mail or it was overlooked, one will never know. I was extremely disappointed.

Fantastic Camera, I purchased for low light level photography and it exceeds my expectations. Night time pictures of local Christmas are terrific.

Very pleased with this - bought it for those occasions when you don't feel like lugging a DSLR. Wanted sharp, quality pictures and versatility, and this camera delivers in spades, in a convenient pocket sized package. Yes, the optical viewfinder is a tad basic but it does the job.

I had a G9 before and purchased this one recently. What impress me is the picture quality. I compared it with my Canon 40D and hardly found any difference between them. Fast aperture is the one I like most, I shoot indoor without flash, the pictures are so bright and sharp and of course you need a...
