"Any authentic work of art, must start an argument, between the artist and his audience."
Must Read
"Photographic art overlaps with the landscape, portraiture, and other photography types. It is defined by the artist's vision and approach to get distinct photographs. Unlike other forms of photography, fine art photography is about capturing what the artist sees instead of what the camera sees. It is just another tool for artists to produce their art."

I’ve got 2 G11s that I’ve had for years. Love them. And I paid much more than $90 back in the day. They made me fall in love with Canons. I was a Nikon DSLR person before getting them. (I shoot Olympus & Nikon film.) I should dust off my G-11. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Yes indeed, dust off your G11 and take tons of photos :)

[@HoLeeChit11]

Love your enthusiasm, it’s infectious.

[@freddytunes303]

I love those shots that you took, and that Canon color is amazing. For me the G series of canon cameras is very special. Canon poured so much technology into those cameras over the years It just can't be beat how good pictures come out straight from the camera.

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

The Canon G11 is always with me on both paid jobs and fun day out shooting.

[@TrilobitesRTasty]

Wonderful camera! Built like a tank! I have a couple of the G12 versions, purchased in 2011. I used them for street and to photograph lots of eBay items to sell….by setting up catalog lighting, tripod, and the remote shutter.

[@kmoecub]

I love my G10, and it's been my go-to since 2008. I've recently began shooting film again, but the G10 is still my favorite digital camera, even though my phone has an objectively better camera. When I was a photojournalist in the late 80's, my go-to lens for my Canon AE-1P was a combination of the typical 50mm, and an 85-105 zoom. I had many other lenses, but that 85-105 was used for 90% of my work.

[@mikegilmer3938]

I have a G12 that I bought brand new when they first came out. Great build quality and an underappreciated camera for how good it is. It may very well be one of the best "walk around" digital cameras ever made . . . 👍👍👍

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Right on

[@SatanSupimpa]

I recently got a G10, that has 15 megapixels, and I definitely see how having less megapixels can be an upgrade to such a small sensor. The flip screen is also a big deal.

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Hello, I am in full agreement..the Canon G10 and G11 have Canon Color Science. This my pro level second shooter. 😆

[@idonttreflip]

Been watching a lot of G11 videos and this one made me decide to buy one for my street scene! I hate running around carrying my R6 and this one will be the best alternative. Thanks for sharing this video! ❤

I had a G11 given to me recently, as previous owner no longer wanted it. And I love taking pictures with it, much preference to using my phone. I did hit like, and subscribe.

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Thank you for subscribing, and the Canon G11 has taken News Photos in my photojournalism work. :)

[@stephenfphotography]

I bought the G9 last month and I've fallen in love with it. The colours that come out of that camera are 🔥 even if I take my full Sony set up, it comes with me as well ha!

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Couldn't agree more!

[@viandaloca]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this gem

[@TheFilm2011]

Thank you for another great class. I know you did this years ago, try doing one on more current types of cameras, Canon or Nikon. Thanks for the class. Learned a lot with this one.

[@diegodivers]

Had a G11 and G12. I used them mainly for underwater photography and travel. The Lens is quite sharp regarding the zoom range and the small sensor. The cherry on the top are the really glorious colors at iso100 that you only get from a ccd-sensor. Maybe I buy just one again for fun and for the memories.

[@yuxi2424]

have a G12 for daily use. the color is superb but lens is blur

[@wheri-IRL]

How do you use them for underwater?

[@diegodivers]

There is an original underwater case from Canon (g11g12 Wp-DC 34). You can also use external strobes connected with a fiber optic cables. It is really great and easy out of the box for macro stuff and critters. Wide angle is not so easy to achieve. There were some other more professional housing option from Ikelite,, 10bar, Fisheye, Recsea and maybe many other. At its time it was very popular among underwater enthusiasts. You will still find many articles about it.

[@leeshery1850]

So which one is better g11 or g12?

[@diegodivers]

@@leeshery1850 I think there is not really much of a difference. As far I remember The g12 had an additional adjustment wheel, a little bit better video specs, and was a little bit quicker (shutter delay). Sensor and lens is the same.

i love your studio man! i have its sibling, the G12, and for me, i think when i snap with BW profile, its kinda look like film.

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Hey thank you. Your G12 is a Canon classic... :)

[@Lou-bv1ex]

Hello, sir! Thank you for making this video!! This helps me make the right decisions. Yesterday i found G11 for €72 and G12 for €98 in Napoli. I was interested to buy the G11 because it's cheaper but wasn't sure either. Now i know i should've buy that g11 lol I'll get it tomorrow. Hopefully it hasn't sold yet!!! Again, thanks a lot!! I hope you have a great day, sir! And Merry Christmas!

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Hello, and thank you for watching my videos. You will love those Canon cameras. The photos they produce are spectacular. Merry Christmas and happy New Year 🎅 🎄

[@Lou-bv1ex]

@@CarmineTavernaPhotography thank you!! I was thinking about which one i should get because the price comparison are a bit too much. Both cameras are still in perfect condition. If you don't mind, can you suggest me which one i should get? The g12 kit are all original except it doesn't have the original box and books but the seller will give a camera bag/pouch. I thought that the price differences are kinda far with that condition. But if you think it doesn't matter, I'll double think the g12 again. I mean, everyone (my friend and the seller) were convincing me to get the g12 because it is the latest, but i got unsure feeling because the g11 has complete kit/set. So i ended the day without any new cameras 😂 just yet!!

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

@@Lou-bv1ex hello, I can tell you 2 things. First I never used the G12. Second, I use, love and will keep my beloved g11. 😆

is there a way to print large prints of photos taken using low MP cameras? For example this G11 or any other CCD sensor camera. Thank you.

Would this be a good range finder for taking fotos of musicians in a pub with low light? I do have a Nikon D3200 with a 15-35 f3.5-5.6 and a 35mm f1.8… Or would I be better off getting a 50mm f1.8 for m D3200?

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

I would say the 50mm 1.8 for the d3200

[@woodedape]

@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Thanks for the solid advice.

Just grabbed one of these for approx. USD 65, mint in box, etc. Your fault ;)) PS. Used to have a G2 back in the days; good times.

[@erosnorouziyan1336]

Hi hope you are doing well. I was wondering is this camera worth to buy to learn photography? Cause I can't afford to buy dslr cameras

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Yes, because it has all the modes to learn photography..manual, shutter priority, aperture priority, program and full auto when you want to learn composition

[@mirzamuratbegovic1595]

G10 or G11? I have the opportunity to buy one of these two, but I can't decide, as I see the only difference between them is in megapixels, but I'm interested in how much it affects the image quality

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

This might help...I use my Canon G11 as my back-up camera on News photography.

[@TrilobitesRTasty]

Hi, Mr. Taverna! May I ask a question about the G11? (I need to check my own G12.) When I used the G12 for street photography, I was sometimes frustrated by shutter lag...the delay from my clicking the shutter versus when the image would be taken. So....do you know of ways to decrease that shutter lag? I wonder if I were to turn OFF the Auto-Focus setting, and only focus in manual (zone focus?), would that reduce the shutter lag? Hmmmm....i must research this. 🙂

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

I honestly have not had a shutter lag on the G11...You can get accustomed to slight shutter lag...hope is not lost..peace

[@TrilobitesRTasty]

@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Thank you! I'm learning that some cameras can be improved with settings, such as some cameras having a higher power/ rapid response setting of some sort. ...and the use of manual focus versus autofocus, where there is some lens jitter or whatever they call it. Sigh....I'm going back to film. 😆

[@jayrecords9353]

So much hype on film cameras which I love but is not bareble to pay for film develop nowadays. Is this G11 a good experience? Can't afford.a fuji

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

The Canon G11, is in my camera bag, and is my backup camera on paid photo jobs.

[@jayrecords9353]

@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Thank you sir for the reply. Is a G9 something to loo at too? I will look the g11. but found a g9 at good price. You also edit the photos or are they straight of the camera?

[@jayrecords9353]

this will be my main camera for now. if I buy one

[@katherinegarcia738]

I just got this camera, used for $60. The previous owner showed me they used it, however now when I used it with a new memory card I keep getting a “memory card error” message, what should I do?

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

How to fix Canon g11 camera, memory card error; Turn off the camera and eject the memory card from it. Wait for a while and insert it once again. ... Make sure that the memory card you are using is compatible with your Canon camera, it likes a 2gb or 8gb SD card. Try different cards. If nothing else works, then format the memory card. Also, here is the Canon G11 manual. gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/6/0300002536/03/PSG11_CUG_EN_03.pdf

[@ioachinnus]

Question for owners: when looking through the viewfinder and manual focusing do you see what you are doing?

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

The answer to your question is here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2GtqJqpgqqiapY

[@ioachinnus]

Thanks for the answer, but I meant when looking through the viewfinder, not the LCD screen. I'm looking for a camera that allows me to focus manually with the screen closed

[@muradatria3774]

i have the G12 and wanted to ask what iso do you recommend me to use for daylight vs low light, and if you have any other settings tips for me to get the best out of this beautiful camera

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

Hello, I have a professional tip to share. When shooting outdoors I use this rule..Always f8, always aperture priority, lowest iso to maintain a shutter speed of 1/125 th of a second.

[@viktorbell9324]

У меня есть такая камера. Очень удобно держать в руке, много органов управления, откидной экран. Собрана очень качественно, нравится какой выдает цвет, конечно же в RAW. Но снимки не очень резкие, что и портит всю прелесть обладания этой камерой. Не знаю, может мне попался такой экземпляр? Спасибо!

Of course. Why? Because as a professional Photographer, you will learn to use every tool you have to deliver the highest quality image. Did you know Leonardo DaVinci used horsehair brushes to paint his art? Why? Because it was the best tool for his art.

g11 is more better than g12?

[@CarmineTavernaPhotography]

BOTH THE G11 AND G12 ARE 99% THE SAME ..Both Canon G11 and Canon G12 have 1/1.7-inch sized 10.0 MP CCD resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras. G11 FOR THE simple reason, it's a better bargain, money wise. Read this; cameradecision.com/compare/Canon-PowerShot-G11-vs-Canon-PowerShot-G12
