Canon PowerShot G2 Digital Camera

Canon's new PowerShot G2 is a precise and powerful tool for professional and advanced amateur photographers who want a very high-resolution digital camera that offers quality, performance, and reliability, similar to fine 35mm SLR cameras. The PowerShot G2's 4-megapixel CCD provides high resolution for prints that are comparable to the products of fine 35mm cameras. This increase in resolution produces a dramatic difference in image quality over the standard 2-megapixel class cameras. The CCD is also equipped with primary color filters (RGB) for superior color reproduction. While in the past, primary color filters caused images to be somewhat noisier than complementary color filter, the G2 includes a new IC with improved signal processing to compensate for this. So images are not only rich in detail but also include true-to-life color, and lower noise levels than ever. The G2 features a genuine Canon 3x Optical Zoom lens giving an 35mm equivalent focal length of 34 to 102mm.

I've been a fan and owner of several Olympus Camedia digital cameras over the past couple of years, but my 35mm SLR camera of choice is the Canon EOS Rebel II. Since I've been extremely happy with both, but always wondered what type of digital performance Canon was able to generate, I decided to... Read full review »

The new Canon Powershot G2 is the digital camera I had hoped for when its predecessor the Canon Powershot G1 was introduced a bit more than a year ago.

I am a die hard advocate of film photography, but as of late have started to explore what the realm of digital photography has to offer.
