Walking New York with the G11

I took to the streets of New York armed with a great mood, a well trained eye and a desire to test out my new Canon Powershot G11.

The overall experience was satisfying especially more on the comfort of having a small yet well solid built camera that’s not intimidating to whip out when opportunity calls.

I shot entirely on Aperture Priority mode, used RAW format and was amazed by how entertaining it was using the swivel screen to capture those unconventional angle shots or even just photographing without onlookers knowing that you’re actually clicking the shutter button.

Despite the camera being classified as a point & shoot, it’s definitely in the high section of the category and it has all the features to keep you occupied in making adjustments to captures that make you feel like you’re operating a DSLR.

I can see this camera becoming my best friend where ever I go and freeing myself a little of the sometimes burden of a DSLR. There’s a charm about its simplicity, it’s black finish and perfect fit in your hands that just feels right.

The piece I wasn’t crazy about was the camera strap and I’ve been hesitant on relying on one when it relates to small cameras. I just don’t trust them and will be investing on the Camadapter CamStrap to have that extra security in handling the camera and avoid dropping it which I felt like I was going to at times.
