Highly Recommended (Just)
DPReview has completed their review of the Canon PowerShot G11
Conclusion…
“….The G11 combines some of the best compact camera image quality with excellent levels of manual control, an optical viewfinder, flip-out screen, raw capability, superb battery life, flexible lens range and the ability to mount dedicated flashguns. It may not be the smallest camera out there (in fact it's one of the largest to use such a small sensor), but, if you can live with the compromises this all-round ability brings, then there's little that can touch it.”

I've played around with one, but not enough to give it a decent review. I know it's photographer's point and shoot, but I still wish it had at least 720p video. I guess they have to give us a reason to buy a G12 next year.
Canon does a pretty good job of not screwing up successors (there have been a couple), the G11 holds true to that standard.

But the G11 is not as good at low ISO as the G10, how is that not screwing up the successor?
DPReview seems to make the comment it doesn’t have the resolution of the G10. Resolution doesn’t equal image quality. I find the G11 files to be just as good as the G10 at base ISO.
“low ISO resolution” seems to suggest low ISO performance not just resolution, but maybe it could use some clarification what exactly they mean by that.
True.
One thing to note. They gave the G11 a higher rating than the G10.

“At ISO 80 and 100 there is essentially no noise and the image looks very much like one from a DSLR. Even at ISO 200 noise is very low indeed and at ISO 400 it’s more than acceptable.”
