Canon PowerShot G15 review
Now that compact system cameras (CSCs) are available for as little as ￡350, is anyone going to buy a conventional compact camera that costs over ￡500? Canon clearly thinks so, but then, the G15 doesn't bear much resemblance to most compact cameras.

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 camara Review
The Canon PowerShot G15 the newest addition to the G series of Canon, is an advanced point and shoot camera that is just full of surprises. It improves on many things when compared to the G12, at least on paper and we wonder if that actually translates into any real world performance.
