Canon Powershot G15 Review
Don't know about you, but I shudder when I read that a camera company has described a lens or a camera as being ‘bright'. I presume they mean that the lens involved is what used to be described as ‘fast' … you know, with a maximum aperture of f1.5 or f2 or nearby. But bright …?

Canon PowerShot G15 Review
Although the PowerShot G15 is a good camera, reluctantly we're getting off the small-chip G-series merry-go-round – especially at its list price of $499.
Pros:
- Bright f/1.8-f/2.8 5x zoom
- Quality stills and videos
- Excellent image stabilization system
Cons:
- Better alternatives available
- Pokes along in RAW
- Very noisy at high ISOs
