Rating: - "Lens error, restart camera"
Purchased this camera in Jan 2007, and last week received the infamous and well documented message, "lens error, restart camera".
Rating: - Solid, quick and great photos
Sharpness and color balance really jump out when processing photos from this camera. Easy to hold and has great protection from sloppy handling. Wish the telephoto and wide angle were a little longer/wider. but for what it is intended for, really excellent.
Rating: - Too pricy
According to the January 2008 Consumer Reports Magazine, this camera should cost about $470. Wondering why it is so expensive on Amazon?
Rating: - simply the best
I wont be long winded here, but this is simply the best camera in its class. It does everything and everything well. yes, there might be some small glitches but I haven't found them and I am an experienced photographer having used both consumer and professional camera's...this is simply the best point and shoot around. I am done now.

I bought this camera to replace my trueold Canon G5. What a mistake! This one is no match. G5 had a solid semi-pro feeling in its built and behavior. The G7 has a "toy" and "plastic" feeling about it. It may be good for those who just started into digital photography, but I would not recommend it for those, who is looking for more serious or advanced device in non-dslr market niche.
Amazon did great when I returned it, so three stars are because of their good customer service.
