New Canon PowerShot Camara G15 Review
New Canon PowerShot Camara G15 Review
PowerShot G15 Canon uses a 12-megapixel CMOS image sensor, a 5x optical zoom and a 3-inch TFT LCD screen with 922 K-dot resolution.
G-Series is one of the most famous of the burgeoning list of dedicated digital cameras. Existed for more than 10 years, maintains the new G15 design and spirit lineup. But at $ 499, this camera type at the end of the road, especially in a rapidly exploding world of Compact System Cameras?
Features and Design
Built like a brick, the all-black PowerShot G15 has a great feel, with its increased grip and texture. One of the few digital camera with an optical viewfinder and LCD screen, G15 looks very retro, a style that is more in vogue (look at the Nikon P7700, Fujifilm X Series, Olympus XZ-2, Panasonic LX7, etc.) .
From the front of the G15 is similar to its predecessor G12, but on the back there is a radical change. The 2.8-inch vari-angle LCD screen is replaced by a larger 3-inch hard-mount display, while the resolution is doubled from 461K to 922 K pixels. The camera has certainly downsized, so Canon gets thumbs up. Many people feel the lack of a swivel screen is a deal breaker if you lose the opportunity to take photos at unusual angles. We miss but this would lead us simply to reject the camera - especially since Canon is an improvement in low-light capability of the lens.
The G12 and G15 have appreciated 5x optical zoom 28-140mm, a solid choice, but the 7.1 x of similar appearance Nikon P7700 (28-200mm). What is really different about the two guns, the improved lens clarity G15, which now F/1.8-2.8 vs. f/2.8-f/4.5 for the older G12. It means you better and more stable pictures in low light. The G15 has a 12.1MP CMOS sensor instead of the 10-megapixel CCD, the G12. (We'll get into the pros and cons of this new thermal imager in the Performance section.)
On the front is also an AF-assist beam, a jog wheel for menu options, and a button on the lens ring to remove the conversion lens attached. (We have a question for our readers -? Some of you actually use a feature like this) The upper deck has a small pop-up flash, hot shoe, stereo microphones, mode and exposure compensation dials, power button, and combo shutter / zoom rocker. This pop-up flash is another difference with the G12 as someone who had a large built-in flash.
Function button is very similar to the recently revised PowerShot SX50 HS << >> link with its many no-brainer and manual settings. The only thing missing is the sports scene mode, because of the smaller size of this button. As an LCD screen on top of a DSLR, leaving the exposure compensation button, you know, it's a camera enthusiast (options 3 / -3 EV). This adjustment is used by photographers all the time when in manual mode to fine-tune the overall brightness. It's a habit you would be so good if you're outside the car.
One of the main items on the back is the small porthole viewfinder with diopter adjustment and 3-inch LCD screen. To be honest, we rarely use the viewfinder when the LCD screen worked well in almost all situations. The camera has a high quality image stabilization system (Intelligent IS), so there was not much play when you hold the front while framing the screen. Along with the basic controls, you will find a shortcut to a function that is not handled by remote cameras (we chose white balance) to assign. In accordance with the time now G15 has a red-dot movie button to quickly capture videos. Unfortunately, they still lag behind 1920 x 1080 at 24 frames per second (fps). There is an AF Frame Selector, AE / FL lock, and a four-way controller with Jog Dial. The points you access to ISO, flash settings, display and focus type (macro, normal, and manual).
Drilling in the menu and you have access to the built-in Neutral Density filter, a digital level, bracketing, and other advanced features available.
On the right you will find remote-in, USB and mini-HDMI, and on the left is a speaker. The bottom has a metal tripod mount and battery / card compartment. All in all, a decent set of options for someone to look beyond the basic or want an easy to carry DSLR alternative.
