Canon G11 - Lens Recommendation
Re: Canon G11 - Lens Recommendation

My recommendation is to get to know your camera before you even consider doing anything else. Even though the G11 is a 4-year old camera, it's still a very good photographic tool and will help you make great photos. My significant other still uses one to take newspaper shots and achieves most impressive results with hers because she knows the camera's strengths and weaknesses. I'm a huge fan of David Busch's guide books and his "Guide to the Canon PowerShot G11" is an excellent handbook to use to get the most out of the G11. Learn how to set the i-contrast feature (among may other useful features and settings) and how that can greatly improve your photos. The fact that you don't know that the G11 is a fixed-lens camera tells me that you haven't spent any significant time with it, and doing so will help you create some very nice photos. Work with it. A lot! Once you have gotten to a point that you feel it's not doing what you need it to do, then consider getting or doing something different, but until then use the camera and learn how it suits you. Don't worry about what anyone else says; see how you like it and ascertain what it can or cannot do for you. It's a really nice camera that I think you'll find that you can really grow with and grow into.
