  • Outstanding non dslr camera
I give it 5 stars to counter the idiot first reviewer. It's obvious to any G series owner that this camera drops the flip screen and RAW format. Get over it. Making up for the loss of the flip screen is a higher resolution, bigger fixed screen. It's much nicer than the screen on the G6. I didn't like the loss at first, but i realized i never used it that much except as a means of protecting the screen. It's actually nice to take the camera out , turn it on, and start shooting without having to flip the LCD back into place. The loss of RAW does not affect me. I'm someone who takes many photos especially of my newborn but I don't do a lot of post processing. RAW files are huge. The pics generally are good enough and digital has always allowed me to take more than necessary and delete any bad ones. The pics taken with the G7 are great quality. I think this is an issue affecting primarily pros who use this as a second camera, but there is great software out there for jpegs. And most people couldn't tell a jpeg pic from a RAW pic. I think Canon erred on this as i don't think this is the issue that will force people to buy its more profitable dslr cameras. DSLR will always be superior for those action shots or low noise high ISO pics. Maybe it will return in the G8 if the series continues. No matter what, Canon is taking a beating in every review for this. Instead of focusing on what this doesn't have that the G6 had, let's focus on what this one has instead. IS. Image Stableizer. This is very important. It allows you to take the flash off and take hand held shots in low light. No more blurry pics. Digic III. Allows faster processing and overall performance. Face detection is also new and seems to work nicely. Hotshoe. Very few non dslr cameras have this although i'm sure the average consumer doesn't care. 6x zoom. Screen. And ability to take wide screen pics. The camera feels very solid and seems smaller than the g6 and of course looks better with the black. The controls and menus are laid out easier IMO. 10 MP isn't that big of a deal to me although i'm sure it has it's mass appeal. I think 8 might've been better, but i'm not complaining. Macros are much easier to take with this camera vs the G6. Again, IS helps big time. Lens cap. What lens cap? This one doesn't need one. Prior G cameras had that loose one that always seemed to pop off. Battery life seems shorter though so you may want that extra battery this time. (never bought an extra for G6). And it takes SD media which i really don't care for but it is more compatible for me since my laptop has one built in. The movie mode is much improved as well although i have a camcorder for that...it's still nice to have. Bottom line, 599 is a lot to pay for a camera these days (i paid more for the G2 at the time and thought it was pretty cool back then). But this is a step short of stepping into the expensive and bulky dslr world. You get a lot of tech in this camera. I've owned a G2 and a G6 (that died on me) and this is quickly becoming my favorite by far. It's much faster due to the processor. And you get all the manual controls you could want plus the option to add external flash. For point & shoot consumers, just put it on auto which makes my wife happy. ... show more

  • Downgraded G7 less capable than the G6
I own a G2,G5,& G6 so I have some experience with Canon G-series cameras. This camera is a big disappointment. It has a less capable lens; it does not provide Raw photo format; it does not provide a remote for the timer; its focus is "soft". It does have more pixels;it is smaller in size; and the LCD is very bright. But for the high price charged for the camera it represents downgraded capabilities for top dollar. Individuals interested in such high end non-DSL cameras will be happier in the long run finding a G6 on eBay or similar sites or buying a different make camera such as a Nikon, Fuji,Sony,etc. ... show more

  • Canon G7
Excellent Camera. Right out of the box I'm taking great shots. Even into the digital zoom mode at 24x the picture is awesome. I've been taking action and still photos of things in my yard, trees, dogs, birds, bugs, wife, all have been great shots. Menu system is easy to figure out. Auto setting are spot on most of the time. The LCD is superb. I shopped for weeks for this camera, reading reviews, pros, cons, I'm glad I finally ordered this camera. I was nervous because I could find it in local stores where I live. Great camera at this price. Battery life is good. Feel and weight are fine. This thing is built like a rock solid tank. Very happy with my purchase and Amazon offered a free 2GB SD Card. Finally don't be fooled by the cheap prices you might find on the web with price search engines. Many of them are bait and switch using high pressure sales to sucker you when you call them to verify your credit card info. Stick with reputable dealers that are on Amazon or other "Well Known sellers." ... show more

  • Canon PowerShot G7 Review-A Hi-Tech Toy with a grainy Picture at medium ISO
Canon PowerShot G7 Review I was looking for the smallest high quality camera with an image quality as close as possible to DSLR performance and small enough to carry with me more often when it's hard to carry a heavy SLR gear. I found that the G7 might fit the description. Here's my own analysis of its Pros and Cons. ***What I liked about it: 1- Excellent picture quality outdoor in bright sun. 2- Great, large, and really bright 2.5" LCD monitor even brighter than my $3000 5D EOS. 3- Cool clock- Hold the "power" and the "Function Set" buttons -and you get a-5-seconds Hi-tech time display out of a SCi-Fi movie! 4- Size-fits easily in my waist pack- No camera case required. 5- Cool AF assisted Green Light -projects light on object being focused (looks like a laser guided weapon in the dark). 6- Neat Slide show effects. 7- Diving gear available for underwater photography. 8- Direct access to ISO (dedicated wheel) and other important functions. 9- Image Rotates when you do Verticals to fill up the screen. Rotate the Camera again to horizontal and the image rotates as well to occupy only the middle of the horizontal screen-really cool feature. 10- Nice looking Camera-has a nostalgic/classic look and feel. 11- Good Zoom Range -35mm equivalent of 35-210mm ***What I did NOT like about the G7: 1- Grainy picture indoor and anything over ISO 100-200 very bad at ISO 400 and higher. 2- Very hard to grab-No grip Unlike the nice grip the G6 had. Could be easily dropped. 3- Over-saturated colors especially green appear a bit artificial. 4- Unlike my other Canon EOS cameras-No ISO and other information is available in IPhoto (Mac) and other softwares--unless you use canon provided softwares. 5- Slower lens than previous model at f/2.8-4.8 (G6 was f/2.0-3.0). 6- Camera seems to smudge far away trees rather than showing details--bad details when compared to my EOS 20D or 5D or any Digital SLRs 7- Large 10 Megapixel files without any true gain in picture quality when compared to the G6 at 7.1 Megapixel. 8- Face priority doesn't always work and you DO get blurry unfocused faces. 9-Image stabilizer is Not very effective with this relatively slower Lens. It works, but many minor shakes cause blurry pictures. 10- Price is very close to a much much better quality picture Compact DSLR like the new Canon Rebel XTi. 11-Picture size favors a less wide photo and more "square like" (3648 x 2736) rather than the comparable proportion to 35mm you get with EOS cameras (EOS Rebel XTi at 10.1 megapixels is 3888 x 2592) and other higher quality DSRL. 12- SD card provided is only useful for a mere dozen of pictures. 13- No More Raw format support which produced stunning and highlty flexible pictures with the G6 and Canon Ulitily softwares. 14- Fixed screen rather than flip out screen. ***Conclusion: As a proud owner of the excellent Canon EOS 5D, 20D and the Powershot G6, I find 1) the excessive graininess at even Low ISO and 2) slower Lens and 3) No More Compact Flash cards and 4) Battery compatibility with the powerful BP-511A that worked with the Three Excellent Canon Cameras mentioned here made me decide to return this camera and order the new Canon Rebel XTi. When I need a small camera, I'll just take the G6 that I think is a better and more professional camera than the G7. If you like the shape and size of this camera, the G9 with similar body and including Raw format back and with over 12 Megapixel and 3" LCD is out in October 07. We'll have to wait and see if any improvement in picture quality at ISO 400 and above! ... show more

  • Very good point and shoot
I bought this as a point and shoot for my wife who doesn't like to carry a heavy SLR. I'll occasionally use it when I don't carry my SLR. As a point and shoot, it is quite good. My only real complaint with it is that it has somewhat more pixel noise than I would like and the processing of that noise smudges the picture a bit. However it is very much in line with all of the other 10 megapixel point and shoots that I've looked at. Strangely, I think that this product suffers from the marketing requirement of megapixels rather than using one of the other (lower resolution) sensors that canon has. I admit that I'm being somewhat unfair in that I an comparing it to my dSLR which has a huge advantage in terms of sensor size. I miss the raw option on this camera, but, I completely get why canon dropped it: at this price point, if you want raw, buy an slr. With that out of the way, the camera is fairly small. It has more mass than many comparably sized point and shoots. I believe that this is due to both stronger build quality (it seems fairly tough) and the optics. I like the new user interface that they've added to it from the old version. One thing that suprised me is that it actually has somewhat better controls (imho) than my rebel in that it includes both an ISO knob (with an auto setting) and the regular picture mode knob. Additionally, you can select several scene styles which has preprogramed adjustements. Those appear to be handy in helping have the computer do what you want if you aren't the type to use a camera in "P" mode. If you do prefer full program mode, the options on this camera are akin to that of the dslrs in that you can adjust contrast, saturation, etc. Like many point and shoots, the built in flash is prone to red-eye. Unlike many point and shoots, this camera has an actual flash hot-shoe. I've used my 430EX speedlight on this camera with quite good results (if you don't mind doubling the size of the camera). Lastly, this guy takes the same batteries as my old S50 and my RebelXT (or an XTi). This is useful when I go on trips. Some people might prefer AA batteries, but, I've found that the third party replacements for canon NB-2L's are very good for life (often more than 2x the canon batteries) and are very reasonably priced. pros: * very good zoom range for such a small camera. * the lens is pretty fast for a point and shoot * quite high iso settings (one can argue whether a noisy image is better than either a blurry one or none at all, but giving the user a choice is nice) * face priority. I really like this feature, i wish my slr had it as an option. I occasionally will miss faces when taking portraits. This camera is pretty good at identifying faces *staring* at the camera and focusing on them. * E-TTL II hotshoe. Ok, few folks will use this, but those who will will appreciate it * Image stabilization. Really, this is a feature that I think is a must-have these days. * no need for a lens cap. Again, something else which is important for a point and shoot, since they often are tossed into purses or backpacks without too much care/fuss. * fairly fast shutter action for a point and shoot. cons: * high price point * 10mpixel point and shoot sensors are somewhat noisy compared to 6 and 7 megapixel ones. * auto mode tends to favor higher ISO speeds * a bit too much noise reduction for my taste, however it is inline with most other pocket 10mpixel camers Why only four stars? I wish there was a way to tune the image processing algorithm to turn down the noise reduction - I often prefer noisier images than overly processed ones. Oh, one more thing: if you buy this, seriously consider picking up a third-party battery with at least 1500mah. The difference in battery life is substantial. ... show more

  • Super camera and it almost fits in your pocket!
In the late '70s, '80s and '90s I sold cameras at a mom and pop store. I don't miss working retail but it was nice to see a camera and hold it before shelling out 500 bucks. These days that's almost a thing of the past. This caused me to do many hours of on-line research before choosing this Canon. I happen to be fond of Leica and really wanted one. I'm also fond of my hard earned money and did not like the price of the Leica as much as the mystique that it represented, but the Leica/Panasonic D-Lux 3 seemed to be a real possibility. I looked at reviews and saw complaints of noise in both. I looked on Flickr's camera finder link and viewed images from both the Canon and Leica, as well as the Lumix and a 9mp Fuji. All produced superb images. Many showed signs of sharpening in post production. The Leica seemed to have the potential for slightly better quality under the most ideal of conditions, but noise was also slightly more evident.The fuji was a great performer but I prefer the traditional rangefinder style of the others. I purchased the Canon from Amazon and am very pleased with it. Though small it becomes comfortable in the hand after some use. The images are superb, the color spot on. The delay is a little long when photographing active children but it's not the size of an EOS. I'm more than satisfied with the Canon and with Amazon ... show more

  • If you want to use the hot-shoe do not buy this camera
Using the hot-shoe results in an approximate 1 second (!) lag between shutter button press and capture - Very disappointing. Unless this can be fixed and will be, I would not recommend buying.

  • what a snappy product! Canon did a great job!
I have this camera and it is outstanding. Lots of controls for those of us that want to set aperture priority, set shutter speed priority, or just let the camera decide what to do. If anything, there are too many choices one could make, but one can also set on full automatic and let the camera do the work of composing. A fairly intuitive set of buttons and commands and menus for use when one wants to take over composing (aperture, shutter speed, flash type, and so on), and yet one can turn it on auto and snap away. This camera has a solid feel to it, and it's almost as if one looks at this and feels its ready for whatever photo op may come along. 6x optical zoom does great and is likely to be all one really needs (additional 4x digital zoom gives you a bigger look at the pixels but, like every digital zoom, the picture isn't improved, so who really cares about the digital zoom hoo-hah.) Drawbacks--it's 1 5/8 inch thick, so those of you that want a credit card sized camera will find this too large. But there's a solid feel about this, and it works well, so if you have space for a 1 5/8" wide, 2 3/4" tall, 4 1/4" long camera, weight of 12 ounces loaded with the battery (weighs more than a credit-card camera, but not "too much" for what this one does nor is it too heavy to carry around), I'd advise looking at this. Nikon P5000 was the competition but this Canon is a lot better. I'm very glad with this purchase. This has a very bright and large LCD view on the back of the camera (2" wide, 1 1/2" tall, very good), plus you can get a decent look through the viewfinder too, although with the quality and SIZE of the LCD, I suspect most of us will use it to set up the shots. I have no financial interest in any company or product that I review. ... show more
