However the camera itself has so darn many features it comes close to the very large cameras and small enough I can carry it around with me daily. Consequently I get many shots that I would not normally get, BUT with the new iPhone I don't know, I guess it will depend on the idea of jpg vs RAW. If you go to the site above it will show you all the features and specs. It allows setting on F stop, Aperture, white balance, manual, automatic, digital zoom that is fantastic, but that reduces the RAW to a jpg, it will zoom so well that you must use a Monopod or tripod. I wish I could tell you more but I don't understand all that is is capable of, soooooo many features and variables. It will record 720 video as well. When I first bought it I was within a day of leaving on our trip last year. I signed up for a One to One at the Apple store for they said they would train on cameras as well as iPhoto so the guy that helped me was a professional photographer, did it for a living besides working at the Apple store. He took control and within a few min. he said to me that this would do more than his Top End Canon that he had purchased two years prior and paid thousands for, while this is a $500.00 camera. He was seriously taken aback that this little thing would do much more than his high end Canon. Wish I knew all he was talking about. I know I have just opened the lid on this and if I had the time to learn it would be much more than I have yet to experience. The G11 came out shortly after the G10, less megapixels than the G10 but it does have a movable led screen, that is a much better feature for I don't like the permanent screen. Using the "Face Detection" is a cool feature. When the entire family is at the Thanksgiving table and I am setting the time delay it will detect all the faces at the table, and it doesn't take the picture until I have had time to get from the camera to the table. It adds me in, waits for smiles (from most of us) and then takes three shots in succession so I will have more than one choice. It really is a good box.
