An interesting move by Canon

Fewer megapixels, higher sensitivity, lower noise. (claimed)

Hmmm.

Don't discount the tilt-and-swivel LCD.
That's helluva useful.

"Quick-shot" mode, if it works well, will be enough to justify it by itself.

I'll be tempted - maybe.

F*cking hell, that press release is total b*llocks. I'd like to see a
photojournalist in a war zone using a Powershot. That's funny. ;-) They've
got the market totally wrong with this press release.

Go after the SLR users who want a smaller camera to carry with them instead
of their SLR when on holiday, etc. I have never known a corporate to be so
out of touch.

They could possibly take photos in a secure area within the Helmand Province
of them eating Burger King Burgers maybe. ;-)

Two things I do like about this release:

(1) It's rare to see a camera design that acknowledges what the clueful
have been telling manufacturers for years; we've got enough frakking
"megapixels" already - what we need now is better high-ISO performance.

(2) The thing people hate most of all about P&S cameras is the often
painful shutter lag; nice to see some acknowledgement of this, as well.

From what I can see, the G11 might rate an upgrade from my G9.

Nice to know. Makes no difference to my post though.

And about time too. The removal of the tilt & swivel LCD was a BIG mistake.
Maybe now think of replacing my ancient G3.

Ironic, the G11 has fewer pixels and faster sensor for mediocre
telephoto and the SX20 has more pixels and a noisier sensor for loooong
telephoto. Shouldn't it be the other way around.

Very tempting. I don't know that I "need" a pocket camera, but this or
the Panasonic LX3 are what I would consider. I like the Canon's zoom
range.
