Outlets and voltage differ internationally and this product may require an adapter or converter for use in your destination. On the pan up to the bar, the G15 responds so quickly and smoothly you hardly notice its happening, in the reverse direction it takes a second to refocus on the cap, but when it does so it happens reasonably quickly. Please make sure that you are posting in the form of a question. Effectively youre able to shoot at the 200 ISO setting with the G15 in situations where youd need to be using 500 ISO on the G12. Another small, but noteworthy, difference is that the PowerShot G15 has an integral lens cover where the P7700 has a push on cap. The G15 additionally offers Blink Detection, which as its name suggests, can spot when a subject has blinked at the moment the photo was captured. The new sensor and Digic 5 processor provide the G15 with improved video features including a best quality 1080p24 mode along with Canons super slow motion and miniature modes, plus the ability to encode in Apples edit-friendly i-Frame mode as well as the usual H.264. I don't use it that much but I can see how it could save the day.I cannot comment on what I have not tried seriously yet: Video and HDR.So.All in all I bought this camera to ensure I will always take a backup with me, and as a walk around camera for when I don't want to lug my bigger bodies.It does that, way better than I dared hope for.A solid five stars.If you have questions, feel free to post them in comments below - I make a point of answering them.____________________________Update May 11th - I post two pictures of the mist at midnight in Guilford, CT, taken with the camera sitting on the roof of my car. The physical size of the sensor remains at 1/1.7in -the same size and in fact the same sensor as in the PowerShot S110. Though the basic shape of the camera remains the same as the G12, Canon made some tweaks and a lot of changes to the control layout. It is also controlled remotely by the same YN603. This will no doubt be something of a disappointment to long-time G Series fans, not to mention a bit of a deja vu moment. The technology also powers the camera's new High-Speed Burst HQ, with continuous capture at a maximum speed of approximately 10 fps. The G15 improves a bit on the G12's performance, though still not enough to consider it "fast." ), Approx. 100% crop, 6.1-30.5mm at 30.5mm 200 ISO 1/5th IS Off. Yes, thats comfortably less than one frame per second and G15 owners will take little consolation from the fact that this is marginally better than the continuous shooting performance of the G1 X which of course has a much larger sensor. One of the features of the G series that makes it so attractive to enthusiasts is the abundance of physical controls and the twin dial layout, which allows you to change shooting modes with your index finger and adjust exposure compensation with your thumb, works a treat. Now lets have a look at a selection of clips to demonstrate its capabilities, all filmed in the best quality 1080/24p mode unless otherwise stated. The camera's big, bright 3.0-inch LCD screen makes framing, shooting and camera adjustments easy with a wide viewing angle, high contrast, and excellent color reproduction. These are arranged down the left side of the screen with options for the selected setting displayed across the bottom. Strangely the SCN mode is also where youll find the Smart Shutter options which trigger the shutter after detecting a new face, a smile or a wink. The Shortcut button in the upper left corner can be configured to present direct access to 15 settings, including custom white balance, drive mode and servo AF, along with switching between RAW and JPEG recording or enabling the built-in ND filter. The quality on this low-light interior panning shot is very pleasing with little evidence of noise. The AE lock button replaces the metering button in that easier-to-access location; it, AF area, metering, and menu buttons surround the navigation dial, which contains buttons for ISO sensitivity, focus mode, flash, and display, as well as the Func Set button for pulling up frequently used shooting settings. Though limited to 24 frames per second and lacking manual controls, the camera produces good video -- saturated and relatively artifact-free (as much as you can get without being able to control shutter speeds) -- that should suffice for most casual shooters. Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking. Youll need to check the manual to confirm what each icon means though, for example those taken under normal, blue or dark skies feature grey, blue or dark blue icons respectively, while backlit situations have a Sun in the corner. The Super Slow Motion mode shoots up to 30 seconds of video for playback at 120fps or 240fps, but it's really low-resolution -- VGA for 120fps and 320x240 pixels for 240fps. In each instance, the exposure and flash are adjusted accordingly, and the camera will even attempt to recognise a Sunset and boost the colours. Le dimensioni non contano per questo piccolo capolavoro. Set the G15 to Aperture Priority and you can choose from f2.0 to f8 (when fully zoomed-out). As before, FlexiZone focuses on a single area, the position of which can be adjusted to almost anywhere on the screen; you can also choose from two different sizes for the AF area. At the other end of the scale is the G15s Auto mode, which employs scene detection in an attempt to identify what youre pointing the camera at. Your question might be answered by sellers, manufacturers, or customers who bought this product. May not be used without permission. Nikons Coolpix P7700 shares similar styling to the G15 and is endowed with even more physical controls; it also offers similar video modes, but thats about as far as the similarities go. Image quality All of this is great, but it would be even better if Canon had provided some way of cycling though these two display options without having to go through the display off mode. With the Canon HS SYSTEM, you'll experience excellent tracking performance even in low light, and achieve gorgeous still image quality even at high ISO speeds all the way up to ISO 12800; beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. This is not a 580ExII by any means, but at close range it can be enough. Added to which you cant tell where the camera has focussed (though the audible beep and green light tell you that it has) or see exposure or other information. Performance Editors' note: We recently updated our testing methodology to provide slightly more-real-world performance, so the results aren't necessarily comparable with previous testing. This becomes a little too much, especially when I also have to carry a backup body, lighting equipment etc. The result of several improved technologies, High Speed AF delivers significantly faster focus speed for a super-responsive shooting experience that lets you capture every great shot as it happens. The 12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor works in concert with Canon's own latest-generation DIGIC 5 Image Processor to create the renowned Canon HS SYSTEM. Read more at loopia.com/loopiadns . For the sake of completeness I should mention here that the Nikon Coolpix P7700 is equipped with a 28-200mm equivalent f2-4 zoom. The automatic exposure control is good, but the white balance is a little wayward at the end. The top panel of both the G1X and G15 differ only in that the G15s dual tiered control dials are offset with the exposure compensation dial (now sporting a broader range of +/-3EV), at the bottom extending to the rear and the mode dial on top flush with the front panel.

Unlike the PowerShot G12, you can zoom the G15s lens while filming and the camera will also attempt to continuously autofocus while recording. The shutter button is slightly larger, too. There was a problem completing your request. Video captured in 1080p Full HD is breathtakingly vivid and realistic, and Canon's Fine Detail Movie Processing achieves beautiful videos with high resolution processing that records approximately 4x the amount of information during video shooting for even greater image clarity and sharp portrayal of even the most delicate of details. Unable to add item to List. This was one of the first few tens of pictures I shot with it.- Color rendition - ***** - I did several tests and comparisons with a color checker and a 7D and it works very well. It uses the same sensor and image-processing engine as the Canon PowerShot S110, but the lens makes a huge difference. Capture stunning 1080p Full HD video in stereo sound with a dedicated movie button; video functions include fine detail movie processing for lifelike images, zoom while shooting, and convenient playback on an HDTV via the HDMI output.
To compare the depth of field performance of the PowerShot G15 and the Coolpix P7700 I set them both to their maximum telephoto focal lengths, 140mm on the G15 and 200mm on the P7700, and got as close to the subject, the leaf in the images below, as possible while still being able to focus. In an big upgrade over the earlier G12 which only offered a 720p best quality video mode, the G15 , like the G1 X and S110 supports full HD 1080p video. Color Swap Select a color and replace it with a color you specify for special effects. 100% crop, 6.1-30.5mm at 30.5mm 200 ISO 1/5th IS On. It takes about 2.3 seconds to power on, focus, and shoot, which is relatively typical for this type of camera. Again, the PowerShot G15 edges it with a slightly more blurred background than the Coolpix P7700. With the lens zoomed in a little the focus is initially on the coffee cup and, as the camera pans up to bar shifts to focus on the bottles and glasses.

The PowerShot G15 has a 12 Megapixel CMOS sensor coupled with the Digic 5 processor, an update to the 10 Megapixel CCD sensor and Digic 4 combination in the Earlier G12. To put the numbers to the test I fitted a freshly formatted 8GB SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-1 card, set the shutter speed to 1/500 and started timing. It has a compact-style integral lens cover that automatically opens when you turn it on which is preferable to an external lens cap like that found on the Nikon Coolpix P7700, but again thats a personal view. In practice, its autofocus performance remains just a little slower than it needs to be for whip-it-out-and-shoot street photography. The PowerShot G15 doesnt just recognise people or close-up shots, but also the lighting conditions for each, differentiating between bright conditions, blue skies, spot-lit or night-time, and whether the subject is backlit or not; the G15 can also detect whether the person is in motion or has strong facial shadows. The G15 gives you the choice of 1080/24p, 720/30p or 640480/30p, along with an optional Miniature effect, Canons Movie Digest compilation at VGA and the iFrame-friendly 720/30p mode.
