- Redesigned top plate
- Colour reproduction
- Professional features
- Movie performance
Cons:
- Expensive in its field
- Some wind noise on movies
- Fixed screen

Canon PowerShot G15 review
Canon's PowerShot G series began in 2000 with the launch of the 3.3-million-pixel G1 and for years it was considered vastly superior to most of its competitors in terms of quality, engineering and specification.

Awesome and well worth the wait
I had been waiting for an update to G12 and Canon hit a bulls eye with this camera.

- Fast/accurate auto-focus
- Good Image Quality

Canon PowerShot G15
The Canon PowerShot G15 has had a lot of time to ponder its market position. It's been two whole years since the launch of the previous G12 model, and it's used that time wisely - the G15 is smaller, sports a new design and simultaneously crams in a far brighter aperture f/1.8-2.8 28-140mm...
Pros:
- Wide aperture throughout zoom range is impressive
- smaller than predecessor
- great image quality straight from camera
- raw capture
- impressive autofocus in all lighting conditions
- excellent stabilisation system
Cons:
- Expensive
- bulky
- shorter zoom than some competitors
- 85 per cent field-of-view in viewfinder is limiting and there's zero focus or settings feedback to the eye
- high ISO settings still aren't all that
- occasional "black out" issue

The PowerShot G15 ($499) is the latest entry in Canon's long-running series of enthusiast compact cameras. This latest iteration addresses two issues that have plagued recent G-series models: the aperture range of the lens, and focusing performance.

Canon PowerShot G15
The enthusiast-focused Canon PowerShot G15 delivers excellent image quality, but lacks some features found in other top-end cameras. The G15 is the successor to the PowerShot G12 , a high-end compact camera that is now two years old.
