So I have mine for free on my last job 😅 I was cleaning the office during the pandemic and it was sitting there, so I asked my boss if Can I have it and he say yes… so I’ve been using ir since then. It’s really cool to have it with me all the time
Very cool! I'm curious to hear more about your take on the Pro1. I have one, but it hasn't yet become a regular part of the rotation. When I'm feeling the small sensor vibe lately, I tend to grab a G2 or the Minolta D'Image A2...
I bought the G7, G10 and S90 back when they were current. Great cameras for their time, took thousands of images with them, overseas and across states.
@@UlyssesGrantParm I did! The versatility of the G7's long zoom can't be underestimated. Tech has advanced tremendously since then, but even the G7 was awesome. I even had a Fuji F30 back then. Fun days.
Great work as always man 👏👏 I love the movie references 👌 it is surprising that the G series turned into a completely different camera. But that macro mode tho 😍 awesome
Thank you kindly! Yes, the macro mode is a blast, and I look forward to experimenting more with this camera. For example, I haven't really explored what's possible using flash. Always more to discover, right?
I think you were a bit hard on the G11, if you compare the image quality to other point and shoots of the same time period like the Panasonic Lumix TZ range with their Leica lenses it is well ahead of the game.
I shoveled up mine recently (thus im here lol). Just coz the rotating screen is so useful and easier to use (comparing to a phone). Also, as an old-schooler i really like "one gadget for one function" approach and i just love how g11 sits in my hands)) So, my question might sound weird but could you please compare (generally) g11 with the camera in Samsung Note 10+ (my current phone)? I mean which one should be a better one tech/spec wise? I'm not a photo-nerd - just a casual shooter so your experience and expertise will be much appreciated 🙏✨️
Great question. It seems to me that there are both practical and technical considerations. Based on what I say on the line, the Samsung has three sensors, each of which is smaller than the one in the Canon. But the three Samsung cameras together offer a lot of flexibility in focal range, especially with the addition of the wide angle lens! Additionally, Samsung has some pretty impressive stuff going on under the hood when it comes to processing. Less so in the Canon, but if you use LR/PS you can make loads of adjustments later, especially if you shoot raw. In terms of ergos, I would generally prefer a grip, an OVF and a flippy screen to just a phone screen, but lots of folks would disagree, especially with the amazing resolution of that Samsung display. Which do you prefer? Here are a couple links that dive deeper into specs and user experience: www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S10+_id10960 www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-plus-camera-review-1028592/ Anyone else care to weigh in?
@@UlyssesGrantParm thank you very much for your perspective and I'm yet to study provided links. But frankly speaking, i prefer G11 for similar reasons - grip and screen)) but! I will come back to report what i think about the actual photos. I might be wrong (conceptually), but i try to catch life as is - without later post-production and much tinkering (albeit trimming), so my point of view will be RAW by itself 😉
Thanks for your question. I have mine loaned out at the moment, so I can't test it apples to apples with my other small sensor cams, but I don't remember my copy being especially fast at AF. Certainly not fast enough that I noticed its speed relative to other cams. Anyone else care to weigh in?
Good question. I’ve had both, but I prefer the g11. For me I actually prefer to have less megapixels on a sensor this small. Anyone else care to weigh in?
To my eye they look similar. The G11 might've metered more to my taste... I say this because in some of my G2 jpgs the subject is a bit underexposed, especially people. That said, if you presented me with 20 random jpgs from each I don't think I could reliably tell you which image came from which camera.
They are similar to my eye. In some shots the G11 seems a little punchier and more contrasty, but that may be as much about the conditions on the day as the camera!
@@UlyssesGrantParm Holy cow, I just bought a G12 for €15 on marketplace. It was grimey but in good condition! How long does your battery last in general?
Congratulations-what a deal! Great question about battery life. I haven’t counted shots, but I have been pleased. I usually use the same battery for at least a couple days. I do turn the camera off when I’m not shooting, though.
Hi! can u make a video about the canon g11? Like how did u take a picture like that, like a film. I have canon g11 too my auntie gave it to me. Thanks!
Thanks for your message and congrats on your G11! I'll definitely think about how I might do a video like that. In the meanwhile, I'll gladly tell you my go-to recipe for the filmic look I like using Lightroom on RAW images: 1. Apply an S curve. (I like the less contrasty, gray shadow look.) 2. Apply vignetting to darken the corners. 3. Desaturate the global colors a bit. 4. Shift the blues toward aqua/teal. It looks more like 90s prints to me this way. Thanks again!
@@UlyssesGrantParm thanks for replying. Few days ago my camera just turn off while I'm taking a video it says "lens error, restart camera". I don't have money to repair it lol
Darn it. Sorry to hear that yours is giving you trouble. There are a couple videos on TH-cam about potential fixes for the dreaded lens error. You may want to take a quick look!
@@UlyssesGrantParm Haha, now that you say that, with your sense of humor, maybe you meant she was in Return of the Jedi as some sort of a joke? Princess Leia was played by Carrie Fisher.

That's awesome! Congrats on getting a very cool camera. May it bring you many years of great images!
Hope your boss don't see this 😂 there goes your raise
I still have a G2 and Pro1. Owned the G10-12 too and they all made great pics in good light.
Very cool! I'm curious to hear more about your take on the Pro1. I have one, but it hasn't yet become a regular part of the rotation. When I'm feeling the small sensor vibe lately, I tend to grab a G2 or the Minolta D'Image A2...

My G12 was my favorite camera. I took tens of thousands of pictures with it before its sensor died.
Sounds like yours had a good run! Very cool!
That finger print on the lens tho!
Ha-sometimes I’m clumsy like it’s my job!
I think you were a bit hard on the G11, if you compare the image quality to other point and shoots of the same time period like the Panasonic Lumix TZ range with their Leica lenses it is well ahead of the game.
Thanks for your comment and perspective!
Lumix lx was better

Autofocus Is fast in this camera?

Should i buy this or the g10 ? Which one do you recommend
Good question. I’ve had both, but I prefer the g11. For me I actually prefer to have less megapixels on a sensor this small. Anyone else care to weigh in?
I don't know much about photography so just wondering why do you prefer less megapixels on a smaller sensor?
@@maryam-vj7holess noise in the pictures.
$46?! They’re $200+ now 😢
$200? That’s wild!
This camera takes B&W ?
I believe there is a b&w mode in the function menu. I’ll confirm this when I have it again in a week or so. Thanks!
Yep!
You like the g2 or g11 better for jpeg
Does g11 have similar colour as g2?
To my eye they look similar. The G11 might've metered more to my taste... I say this because in some of my G2 jpgs the subject is a bit underexposed, especially people.

For 46 dollars is a steal of a deal. Cant find them that cheap here in Europe.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, I feel fortunate to have found one at this price!
