DPreview’s Take On The Canon Powershot G15
DPreview's review of the Canon PowerShot G15 is online. Generally very positive impressions. From the conclusion:
- Good low-ISO image detail and reliable metering
- Versatile, sharp and fast 28-140mm F1.8-2.8 lens
- Good balance between noise reduction and detail retention at higher ISOs
- Fast and responsive operation
- Very pocketable format
- Fast and reliable AF system
- Very effective Image Stabilization system
- Excellent 920k dot screen
- Optical viewfinder useful in very bright light (but is relatively inaccurate, and has no shooting info)
- Lots of external controls including two control dials and an exposure compensation dial
- Customizable control dials and Shortcut-button
- Excellent build quality and body materials
- Decent battery life
There is (obviously) also a Cons section:
- Exposure compensation dial does not work in video mode (but you can set exposure compensation using the AEL button when the mode dial is set to movie)
- No swivel screen (vs predecessor and some competitors)
- No automated panorama mode (only stitch-assist)
- HDR mode only works well with the camera on a tripod
- Auto ISO only uses up to ISO 1600
- Matt surface a little prone to scratches
If you're in hurry, jump directly to the conclusion sections, to the sample images, or see the JPG and RAW comparisons.
