And yet more reason to be in love.

Another well-written review:
(link to actual article here)

The Powershot G series has represented a fairly formidable presence at the top of the compact camera tree. From a keen photographer point-of-view, there's little on the market that can match its mixture of zoom range, lens flexibility, build quality and level of manual control. Somehow Ricoh's GX and Nikon's P series have never quite had the same impact but Panasonic's LX3 has been enough to tempt some potential customers away, with its bright lens and convincing (for a compact) low-light performance.

Be Mine.

There’s no perfect camera. There never will be. There’s no camera that’s right for everybody in every situation. But the Canon PowerShot G11 is a camera that is right for more things than not, and more people than not, and in my opinion, it’s a camera that re-establishes Canon as the king of the high-end compact.

The big news is that Canon made a great decision in pushing this camera out the door with 10 megapixels rather than the 14.7 megapixels found in the G10. In other words, the camera is aimed at those more interested in image quality over top-dog resolution.

The 5X, 28-140mm (EFL) lens covers a large focal range that works very well for most situations. As I said earlier when testing this camera for the first time, I do miss the slightly wider 24mm focal range of the Panasonic LX3, but it’s no deal breaker.
