Canon PowerShot G15 photo samples

JPEG profile

Areas of focus look pretty good in JPEGs through ISO 200; then color noise and noise-reduction artifacts kick in. You can see how much detail you lose on the fur as well as the softness of the details on the tape measure. I wouldn't recommend going above ISO 1600.

Like the S110, the G15 inexplicably blew out exposure on the book page. Read full review

ISO 80 JPEG

At ISO 80 the camera produces good detail without aggressive sharpening.

ISO 100 JPEG

The camera produces natural-looking sharpness at ISO 100 as well.

ISO 200 JPEG

At ISO 200 you still get decent detail, but it also starts to get a little soft.

Out-of-focus areas, raw vs. JPEG

This detail comes from an out-of-focus area of the previous image. You can see how the sharpening in the JPEG produces some contouring and graininess in the out-of-focus areas, but the raw trade-off is softness in the sharper areas. Read full review

ISO 800, raw vs. JPEG

At higher ISO sensitivities, you can really get some better results shooting raw to minimize color noise, improve edges, and decrease fringing.

ISO 1600 JPEG

By ISO 1600, photos have that processy, special-effect look when viewed up close. However, they can still print pretty well as large as 13x19 if you use the raw files.

Highlight recovery

There generally isn't a lot of detail available in blown-out highlights, but there's enough to fix sky and clouds.

Color

Overall the G15's color rendering looks good; it's a little cool and contrasty, but not as bad as from the S110. Read full review

Meet the drop-resistant Moto Z2 Force

The Moto Z2 Force is really thin, with a fast processor and great battery life. It can survive drops without shattering.
