Canon PowerShot G15 review
Like a Canon EOS DSLR without a lens mount is a good way to think of the manufacturer's high-end PowerShot, the G15 . It sports a similar rock solid build – here aluminium – and control layout to an EOS camera, but is of course more compact.
Pros:
- Built-to-last aluminium construction
- solid feature set
- optical viewfinder
- 5x optical zoom usable during capture of video and stills
- manual top plate dials
- pop-up flash
Cons:
- LCD screen is fixed
- bulkier overall than all but Nikon's P7700
- pricey given that a DSLR could be bought for even its lower street price around £440

Great Mid Sized Camera
I like this camera because it's familiar to my DSLR's from canon, is rather effective in low light conditions, maintains good battery life and also contains many options like panoramic mode and high frame capture mode.
Pros:
- High frame rate capture in good light Great handling of low light conditions Much lighter than a DSLR
- heavier than a point & shoot Plenty of manual override options Great auto options Panoramix mode Good/excellent battery life Scene modes are helpful and easy if you've owned canon cameras before...
Cons:
- Slower then desired zoom in / out mechanism (same speed as point & shoot) Would be nice to have more lens options Would have been better if it shipped with a memory card

Just wish it had a bigger sensor
Love this as a "carry around."<br />Sturdy build, nice screen, wonderful, fast 1.8 lens.<br />I just wish it had a larger sensor, but I'm guessing if it did Canon would be selling less G1Xes.
Pros:
- Fast/accurate auto-focus
- Fast lens
- Good in Low Light
- Has a viewfinder
- Nice Body Color
- Short Lag Time
- Small / Compact
Cons:
- Small Sensor

The G15 will appeal most greatly to existing DSLR owners looking for a smaller backup for those shoot-from-the-hip photo opportunities. Read our Canon PowerShot G15 review to find out more.

Seems to be a good investment at this point.
Trying to locate a USB cord that will fit the camera because it did not come with one. The USB is required if you want to download the solutions PDF off of the CD which is included. Also the CD contains the owner's manual which I cannot download without cord.
Pros:
- Does close up shots and maintains color of items shot
Cons:
- Package does not include USB code needed to download the PDF file off the CD

Canon PowerShot G15
While this is a Digital Camera it makes an excellent bridge unit for those intending to make the jump to a DSLR unit as it has that rarely seen item a viewfinder as well as a decent TFT screen so all groups are catered for.
