- The no-frills design of this premium shooter blends a powerful array of manual controls with plenty of Canon usability. This, therefore, makes it of interest to photography enthusiasts who don't mind paying more for what is, essentially, an all-in-one co...

- Excellent image quality, Optical viewfinder, Pro controls
- Chunky design, Fixed screen
- Is the G15 perfect? Not quite. It's much smaller than its predecessor the G12, and that's led to the odd compromise; as we mentioned there's no dedicated ISO dial or tiltable screen, for starters. But then again this is supposed to be a compact camera, s...

- As with previous G series PowerShots, whilst quality is not an exact match, the G15 will appeal most greatly to existing DSLR owners looking for a smaller backup for those shoot-from-the-hip photo opportunities.Tags:Photo & VideoBest prices todayRetailer...

- There are some features left out of the Canon PowerShot G15 that I wouldn't miss – like GPS and an external mic socket – but there are others I would have liked. The lack of a vari-angle LCD is disappointing, and the inclusion of an ill-thought-out viewfi...

- Direct dials and buttons, Sleeker body than G12, Great f/1.8 lens
- No touchscreen, No articulating screen, Poor viewfinder
- A lot has changed since the Canon G12 was first debuted, and it's a shame that more excitement couldn't have been allocated to the Canon G15. For instance, a touchscreen, GPS and Wi-Fi would have been a welcome addition. Instead, it feels a little as if ...

- Redesigned top plate; Colour reproduction; Professional features; Movie performance
- Expensive in its field; Some wind noise on movies; Fixed screen
- The G15 will do nothing to dent the PowerShot G-series' excellent reputation. It does feel a little expensive when stood against its closest competitors though -- including its sibling, the G1 X, which with the benefit of time has seen its price fall. ...
