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.
Photofocus Blog repost (here is link to blog article)

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.

okey bokeh
Found this source on diyphotography.net ... looks really fun!

Bokeh is an adaptation from a a Japanese word meaning blur. In photography this term is used to describe the quality of the areas in the picture which are not in focus.
When referring to Bokeh, we can distinguish some of it characteristics:
- Is the light/dark gradient smooth or sharp?
- What shape will a small dot of light take what it is in the Bokeh area? (mirror lenses for example, create a bagel like Bokeh)
We can play with those two variants to create a special Bokeh.

You will need :
- One large aperture lens (a Canon 50mm F1.8 is used here, but Nikon 50mm 1.8 will also do, and the superb Nikon 50mm 1.4 will work even better)
- One sheet of black paperboard
