The G11 was introduced 3 years earlier than the S30 which is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving straight into a complete comparison, below is a short highlight of how the G11 scores vs the S30 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot G11 & Nikon Coolpix S30. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon G11 Gallery & Nikon S30 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry around your camera regularly, you have to factor in its weight and size.

More often than not, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes merely by checking technical specs. The image here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G11 and S30.

As you have seen, both the cameras have got the exact same megapixels albeit not the same sensor sizes. The G11 provides the bigger sensor which should make getting shallower depth of field less difficult. The more aged G11 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
