Canon has released the PowerShot G11, the latest in the line of PowerShot cameras, with 10-megapixel resolution, DIGIC 4 image processing and a 2.8-inch vari-angle LCD screen.

For handheld photography, the G11 is equipped with a 5x wide-angle (28mm) zoom lens and an optical image stabilizer that allows lower shutter speed than non-IS cameras. Low-light mode allows shots to be taken up to ISO 12800 in reduced 2.5-megapixel resolution.

To improve image quality, the G11 is equipped with a dual anti-noise system, which improves noise performance by two stops, and i-Contrast technology, which prevents high-contrast blowout. Flash features include a high-synchro speed for overexposed scenes.

The G11 has been ergonomically designed with analog dials to make setting adjustments quicker.
The camera has an estimated selling price of $499.
