Samsung confirms the rumors today – their TL500 advanced compact camera launches with a feature set designed to take on advanced compacts like the Panasonic LX3 and Canon G11. It debuts with a fast f/1.8 24mm wide angle lens, full manual shooting controls, and a swiveling 3.0 inch LCD.

The whole package starts at a retail price $50 cheaper than the G11 and LX3. Will a brighter lens and reduced MSRP be enough to lure customers away from Canon and Panasonic?

Video review of the Canon G11

G11

There are only a handful of competitive camera companies left but one of them is Canon and they definitely are good at what they do. Canon has been making some of the best point and shoot digital cameras around. The price points for my recommendations is from less than $100 to $500. These cameras can be purchased either online or at a camera shop or electronics store.

Canon PowerShot SD1200IS a 10 mega-pixel camera featuring a 3x optical zoom lens and a 2.5” LCD on the back. This point and shoot features 17 shooting modes so no matter the situation your good to go. Inside the camera is the latest DIGIC 4 image processor from Canon, it’s the companies most advanced image processor.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS is a 12.1 mega-pixel camera that has a 3x optical zoom lens and a 2.5” LCD. The SD780IS can not only take great pictures but it can also shoot HD video at 1280×720 resolution.

Canon PowerShot A1100IS a 12 mega-pixel point and shoot with a 4x optical zoom with a 2.5” LCD. The A1100IS has the Canon DIGIC 4 image processor that has great features like image stabilization, evolved face detection and red-eye correction just to name a few of this cameras features.

Canon PowerShot G11 a 10 mega-pixel with a 5x wide-angle lens and a 2.8” LCD. The G11 features the latest image processing technology from Canon DIGIC 4. The camera features a Face Self-Timer which can detect an increase in the amount of faces so if the camera man decides to hop in the picture the camera can recognize him/her. The camera has tons of other surprises as well like HDMI connectivity. The Canon PowerShot G11 is available on Amazon for $440.98.

Summary of reviews comparing Canon G10 vs. Canon G11:

Serious Amateur Photography:
If all this preliminary information is correct then there are really two primary differences between these two excellent cameras; the low light / high ISO performance and the articulating LCD screen. I certainly hope the low light / high ISO performance (lower noise) of the new G11 is better than the G10 which is really poor. Especially since this improved performance comes at the expense of image resolution (which I really like for landscape and nature photography).

To be honest, I’m having trouble understanding the benefits of an articulating LCD screen, especially in outdoor conditions. Will this screen be easier to see in bright sunlight if it’s tilted somehow? Does this feature make composition easier? Is this feature aimed at videographers using the G11? Personally I’d have preferred a higher resolution 3″ LCD like that found on the new EOS 50D and 5D Mark II, which is much easier to see outdoors.

gdgt:
I’d recommend the G11 due to the reasons you’ve already mentioned. I’d wait to see how it stacks up against other cameras like Panasonic’s own LX3 since it is pretty comparable to the G10 as it stands (better low light performance, HD video) and will quite likely be a lot cheaper than the G11. Haven’t investigated all the features, but I would bear in mind the price of the G9 didn’t fall that much (if I recall it actually went up) after the G10’s release…

Radiantlite:
Canon G10 is suitable for photographer that shoot in base ISO (100-200) most of the time and care about fine details. Therefore, G10 is great for photographer who works in studio.

Canon G11 has better control of noise, especially shadow in expense of detail and resolution. It also has swivel LCD which is helpful for various shooting situations. Therefore, G11 is more suitable for photographers who work in the field, especially in low light condition.
