The A810 was manufactured 2 years later than the G11 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a thorough comparison, below is a short introduction of how the A810 grades versus the G11 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot A810 and Canon PowerShot G11. The entire galleries are available at Canon A810 Gallery and Canon G11 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera, you're going to have to consider its weight and dimensions.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilizing at the time. Following is the front view physical size comparison of the A810 and the G11.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the A810 and G11 is 93 and 83 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading specifications. The photograph here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A810 and G11.

Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A810 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Canon A810 will offer more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer A810 will have an edge in sensor tech.
