...features. Buttons… Canon have often used thumb wheels for selections on their cameras and the G7 is no exception. One wheel allows you to quickly select shooting mode and another allows you to select ISO speed (more on that later on). Thumbs-up to thumbwheels, I like them a lot. The front and sides of the G7 are button free. The shutter release button is on the top with the power button and main tumbwheels and the rest are crammed on the back next ... ...shoe” Like my old Canon film camera, the G7 has a flashgun shoe. If you have one (and I do, from my old Canon) you can plug your serious flashgun onto the top of the camera for all those external flash benefits. Another plus point. Using the camera This camera goes from Off to Ready in about a second. Depending on the mode employed it will take the picture a fraction of a second after you hit the button. With a nice fast card in there, we’re still ...

Advantages: Solid, well built feel, superb image quality Disadvantages: A protective covering for screen would be nice, battery life not brilliant
...one evening, I visited the Canon website where it listed the new models, one of which was the G7. It instantly grabbed my attention but it wasn’t due for release until late October 2006. When the G7 was finally released, actually viewing one was a difficult task in itself, and it wasn’t until the middle of November until I was able to track it down. Within a few minutes, I’d handed over my cash to the assistant manager in Jessops, who very kindly ... ...would really show what the Canon G7 could do. Comparisons could easily be made.
Before you enter the theme park, you have to go under the Disney Hotel. Just outside the hotel there is a Mickey Mouse flower bed made of chrysanthemums. The G7 unerringly picked up the delicate hint of lilac, whilst the shot taken with the V700 showed the flower bed to be white. One of the most spectacular sights in Disney is the pink castle. The photos taken with the ...

I have the powershot G7 for about 5 months now, I bought it when it just came out. It's very good value for money (I paid 439 euro)! The pictures it takes are just great.
It's a good middle solution between a digital SLR and a regular compact camera. It's not as bulky as a SLR and it has a few more functions and nicer image quality you would expect from a small compact camera. Too bad Canon dropped the RAW file format for this Powershot version, but for most users this should still be ok.
The camera does not come with a camera case, I would definitely recommend buying one as it would be a pity to damage the large screen!

Advantages: Great picture quality, intuitive design Disadvantages: Slight lag between viewin pictures
Soon after buynig this camera I knew I would never use anything else. Picture quality is amazing and the features on this camera allow much customisation to pictures. Just like having a tiny SLR. I thouroughly recomend this camera not just for its amazing quality but for its sleek looks as well. If like me you are torn between dSLRs and this and I don't particularly like the weiht of a dSLR then this is for you! I have not experienced manyproblem ... ...a year now. I only have one critiscism of it and that is the lag time when mving between pictures. Its a little leisurly but nothing that is really noticable. It comes with a neck strap which is handy and there is a leather case available which is very good for protection. I took it to southern africa on a safari/adventure holiday and it was great as a quick snapper and a longer take a really nice picture of that lion. Overall a great buy! ...
