I love my Pentax equipment but I have just bought a Canon G11 should have it next week, I wanted a small camera with all the features of a DLSR and what I have seen up to now may or may not satisfy my needs the photos will tell, the only reason I have bought it is that I have to much gear to carry around and want to downsize, I know John is an avid Pentax user and so am I for 35 years,If Pentax had such a camera then there would be no choice other than a Pentax but they don't, so when I get it I will post some photos and you can give me your opinions,
thanks.
Jack.
P.S. I am not defecting from Pentax.
Canon G11
Re: Canon G11
The G11 is attempting to bridge that gap between convenience and quality. So far I haven't really found a camera that does, so if the results are good that will be fantastic.
I'll be very interested to see some results when you have them.

Re: Canon G11
Well got the G11 today set it up and took a couple of photos, first impressions is that it is pretty good but will have to play a bit more, here are a few taken in the garden.

Re: Canon G11
Time will tell if it suits you and it does what you want it for, but the first results look very encourgaing.
Thanks for sharing the images!

Re: Canon G11

Re: Canon G11
It's impressive. How small is it? Really pocket sized or a more of a large external pocket as in a waterproof coat?

Re: Canon G11
Hi John, I've had it my shirt pocket but it fits nicely in my trouser pocket, I have it with me everywhere but not a patch on the K20, but then I'm quite happy with what it does for me, but then I can't post them on the Pentax User site so I post them elsewhere, Jack.
Re: Canon G11
Thanks Jack. You're right that PU is Pentax only, the merest hint of anything else and.......
Glad you're enjoying your new camera.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
