Features
The PowerShot G15 features the brightest lens in a PowerShot G-series model to date, with a new f/1.8-2.8, 5x zoom lens, providing photographers with an extra-wide aperture throughout the camera’s entire focal range.Product Highlights
The Canon PowerShot G15 Digital Camera is a point-and-shoot with expansive creative possibilities. Going beyond the genre's name, the G15 provides you with any number of options for capturing your vision - from 1080p HD video recording to 10 fps continuous burst shooting to numerous shooting modes. In addition, the G15's compact form-factor makes it well-suited for being your go-to image maker.
The PowerShot G15 also features a 5x optical zoom 28-140mm (35mm equivalent) f/1.8-2.8 lens. The lens gives you a good overall range for shooting in most any situation, from group shoots to macro close-ups. The aperture range lends itself to capturing successful images in low-light conditions as well as the ability to render shallow depth-of-field.
The camera's 12.1MP CMOS sensor works together with the DIGIC 5 image processor, comprising Canon's HS SYSTEM. The aforementioned low-light performance is a hallmark of this duo; enabling the ISO to be set up to 12800, if need be. The processor also enables fast transfer of data while powering the copious features and functions of the camera.
Canon's HS SYSTEM Enables Exceptional Low-Light Performance to ISO 12800 The PowerShot G15 gives you the power to create images with depth, detail, and impact. The 12.1MP high-sensitivity CMOS sensor works in concert with Canon's own DIGIC 5 Image Processor to create the Canon HS SYSTEM. With this proprietary system you'll experience quality tracking performance, even in low-light, and achieve solid image quality even at high ISO speeds, all the way up to ISO 12800
12.1MP High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor
The PowerShot G15 employs a Canon 12.1MP CMOS sensor which delivers high-quality imaging performance and is optimized for use in compact cameras. Utilizing a sophisticated light-capturing design, it provides high-sensitivity for improved high ISO capture with reduced noise. The sensor also lends itself to high-speed image capture, fast transfer of image data to the processor, as well as enabling rapid continuous shooting (10fps) and quick autofocus
Fast 5X Zoom Lens
Engineered specifically for the PowerShot G15, the camera's 28mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens is the right tool for capturing sweeping images from landscapes to cityscapes to group shots. Shallow depth-of-field is possible thanks to the f/1.8-2.8 maximum aperture, and allows for soft background blur for striking images even in low-light settings
Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor
The Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor works with the PowerShot G15's image sensor to enable faster processing speeds, delivering detailed images in many low-light situations without the need for artificial light sources. Noise reduction produces clear images when shooting in low-light at high ISO speeds up to ISO 12800. The fast processing speeds result in fast continuous shooting while maintaining a high level of image quality. With the power of the DIGIC 5 Image processor, the PowerShot G15 can also perform advanced functions like lens correction, special scene modes, and much more
Faster Focus and High-Speed Shooting
The PowerShot G15 is equipped with Canon's High Speed AF. The result of several technologies, High Speed AF delivers significantly faster focus speeds for a responsive shooting experience that lets you capture every shot as it happens. Thanks to High Speed AF, the PowerShot G15's shooting time lag is only 0.22 seconds. This technology also powers the camera's High-Speed Burst HQ, with continuous capture at a maximum speed of approximately 10 fps. Moreover, images captured in High-Speed Burst HQ maintain the camera's native image quality
Intelligent IS Automatically Chooses from Six Modes of Image Stabilization
Capture clear, steady images with the PowerShot G15, even in low-light without using a tripod. That's because the camera is equipped with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS. This system analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation - allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. For stills, the system automatically selects from Normal, Panning, Macro (Hybrid), and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the system automatically selects from Dynamic, Powered, Macro, and Tripod IS modes
Creative Possibilities
The PowerShot G15 uses a 12-bit converter to process the output of the CMOS sensor, resulting in true color, smooth tonal transitions and natural gradations. The PowerShot G15 lets you shoot in RAW mode, which records all the information capture by the sensor, giving you flexibility and creative control when editing your images. The camera allows you to record in RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously as well. In RAW mode, you can even select from several aspect ratios, including 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 1:1, and 4:5
Optional System Accessories
A host of optional accessories including Speedlite flashes, an underwater housing, and a tele-converter lens expand the camera's imaging possibilities. The G15 works with e-TTL EX-series Speedlites, as well as the Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and the Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX.
