Photo : Canon PowerShot G7 10MP Digital Camera with 6x Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom |
- Bought it last year. Completely satisfied.This camera does an excellent job. It has the best "auto" results I've ever seen in any digital camera AND it lets me adjust whatever manual settings I want to use for every specific situation.
The macro function works just great and the auto white balance delivers surprinsingly natural colors (not to mention the additional WB selector and custom WB).
The Image Stabilizer always comes in handy. Even photos taken from inside a car in motion will look still. The 6x optical zoom is fast and reliable. Too bad you can't use it when recording video.
ISO 80, 100, 200 and 400: Amazing results; sharp details and clear, natural, rich colors for most light conditions. I'm a flash hater so I often use ISO 400 indoors.
ISO 800 and 1600: Add some noise to the pictures, but in return you get higher speed shots for dim light scenes that otherwise would be impossible to get without flash or tripod. The resulting noise when using these ISO settings is not that bad compared to other cameras I've used before.
The video recording feature works fine for not being a camcorder. Pretty fast exposure adjusting and convincing WB in its fair-enough 640x480 px.
I bought it last year and I just can't stop taking pictures (I've shot more than 4000 with it by now). Even though I'm a perfectionist, most photos look so good they don't need any post editing at all.
If I got my camera stolen or broken, I would buy it again. I'm so pleased with the results that I'm now looking for its waterproof case, an extra battery and the wide angle lens.

- Outstanding point n' shoot.Short and simple.
I got this camera as a gift, from my uncle who is a pro. Best camera out there! For point and shoot, for family, and other purposes this camera is all you will ever need! Unless you are a pro? This is it!

- Lousy customer support - dust in lensesBeware of Canon customer support. I bought a G7 a year ago and after six month something that look like dust particle managed to get into the lens (all pictures and videos have a black dot). First I thought that I could clean than but then I realized the lenses are sealed. Then I wondered, if the lenses are sealed the only way a particle of dust could have gotten there was when it was manufactured. Well, I call Canon and guess what; they offered me to send the camera for repair (at my expense) or a refurbished one for $250 dollars. If I knew how I would sue this company for utter irresponsibility. Now all my pictures and videos have a black dot thanks to Canon's lack of support. So long for a honey moon with Canon...

- Cannon G7Best camera I have ever owned. It has so many features that it takes a lot of time to learn them, however, it also works great as a "point and shoot". Well worth the money. Best features are multiple face recognition and image stabilization.

- Totally Pleasing Point & Shoot!The Canon G7 is one of the best Point and Shoot cameras I have ever used, and besides looking great (very retro), it's images are outstanding! I bought mine from some local electronics store because I am impatient and needed it right away for a business photography need, but could have saved some money by buying it from Amazon or elsewhere online.
It's settings are astounding and I am just getting to the point of where I can use more versatility than just the standard program or auto functions. I especially love shutter priority where it's 3 very sensitive CCDs "push" the images colors over the top! When indoors and shooting stills, it's so good on these images that I don't need a flash many times (although it may require a few pratice shots to keep the body still when exposing for extended frames). If you're new to the idea of video available on a point and shoot, this camera will also impress the user by being easy to use and easy to review your newly captured video footage. It has 2 options: very-good and high-quality for the video footage (not the real setting names).
It's a durable camera as well, but (being too embarassed) I won't describe how I found that out! :O I will tell you that I am completely impressed and delighted that I spent the money I spent, after having tried SOOO many cameras that fall short in one area or another.
If you're looking for a great camera, the G7 or the G9 will not disappoint. Unless you're exploding images up to poster size routinely, this camera could be your best daily photography tool. This camera seems to do it all for me @ my level (I am a former SLR owner, who doesn't like taking the full kit with me just for snapshots). My only regret was not waiting on the G9 because the screen size appears to be a little bigger, and it has a better set of sensors (it's 12MP). Overall, I am very happy with it even if I never get to upgrade to the G9.
