The G11 was revealed 3 years earlier than the WX150 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving in to a detailed comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the G11 grades vs the WX150 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot G11 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX150. The full galleries are viewable at Canon G11 Gallery and Sony WX150 Gallery.

If you're intending to travel with your camera, you have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specifications. The image here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the G11 and WX150.

Plainly, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G11 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony WX150 will produce more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged G11 will be behind in sensor technology.
