Fast f/1.8-2.8 lens
Fast and accurate AF system reminiscent of Canon DSLRs
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. ...
With so many advanced compact cameras now available, the Canon PowerShot G15 may not hold the lofty position among enthusiast photographers that its predecessors did. That is not to say it isnt an excellent compact camera, though, as it is certainly equa...
Wide aperture throughout zoom range is impressive, smaller than predecessor, great image quality straight from camera, raw capture, impressive autofocus in all lighting conditions, excellent stabilisation system
Expensive, bulky, shorter zoom than some competitors, 85 per cent field-of-view in viewfinder is limiting and there's zero focus or settings feedback to the eye, high ISO settings still aren't all that, occasional "black out" issue
The PowerShot G15 is testament to how relevant this camera type still is. Its impressive image quality is helped along by the f/1.8-2.8 maximum aperture 5x optical zoom lens and processing system, while the the overall performance and new, shrunken-dow...
Build quality (quality materials, assembly, robust feel, etc.), Noise handled well up to 1600 ISO, Good handling, plenty of controls and easily accessible settings, Full HD video with a sharp picture and decent stereo sound
Some design features lost: no swivel screen, fewer controls, Lens isn't on par with competitors, Poorquality optical viewfinder: small, inaccurate, uncomfortable, Video: 24 fps framerate isn't amazingly smooth
Like the G7, Canon's PowerShot G15 is camera that's perfectly fine on the technical front but which ditches some of the features formerly seen in this range, stripping the camera of any real bonus compared with competitor models. The G15 is clearly no mat...

In some recent reviews, we've taken Canon to task for a lack of innovation in their consumer-oriented product lines. The ELPH 110 HS , PowerShot S110 , and EOS Rebel T4i were all frankly lazy updates to well-worn camera concepts, and the time-battered T3 ...
Abstract: The Canon G15 follows the G12. The new model has a massive, robust, and heavy body and has major changes from its predecessor. The G15 is Canon’s newest high-end compact system with a 12MP sensor (1/1.7”), a large LCD screen, and a lot of manually co...
Great image quality, Professional level mode dial with lots of physical buttons, Fast f1.8f2.8 lens, button, Solid build
Below average viewfinder, Nonarticulating screen will bother some, Some AF hunting in very low light
As the newest member of Canon's G Series cameras, the Canon G15 does not disappoint. It is an all around excellent point and shoot for anyone ranging from amateurs to seasoned professionals. The 12.1-megapixel sensor paired with the Digic 5 image process...
