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.

Canon PowerShot G15
DPReview.com doesn't try it with the G15, but when they try it with the pricier Canon PowerShot G1 X (*Est. $750) , the software leaves seams, stitching errors and a bent horizon. Like others in its class, the Canon G15 has a USB port to hook up to a computer and an HDMI port to attach to an HDTV.
Pros:
- Outstanding photos
- even in low light
- Snappy performance and great handling
- Rock-solid build
- Big-camera features like a viewfinder and hot shoe
- Fits into a jacket pocket
Cons:
- Video mode offers little manual control
- No in-camera panorama
