Canon PowerShot G11

The PowerShot G11 features a 10.0-megapixel High Sensitivity CCD sensor and a 5x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation. It is notable for its return to a lower megapixel count to prioritise noise reduction and dynamic range. The camera includes a 2.8-inch vari-angle LCD, a dedicated exposure compensation dial, and full manual control, making it a popular choice for serious photographers as a secondary body. For a used G11, the CCD sensor should be checked for dead pixels or 'stuck' pixels, which can be common in older sensors. The articulated screen ribbon cable should be tested by rotating the screen through its full range of motion. SDS inspects the physical dials for correct indexing and ensures the lens curtain opens fully. Check the battery door latch, as this can become weak over time, leading to power interruptions.
