Very good

7.5

out of 10

View score

The good: Solid build quality; face detection useful for posed shots; optical image stabilization; compatible with a wide range of accessories; accepts SDHC memory cards.

The bad: Plastic tube holding the lens; no 28mm wide-angle lens; slower F2.8 compared with F2.0 on the G6; no RAW support; unusable pictures at ISO 1,600.

The bottom line: The Canon PowerShot G7 acts as a good second camera for professionals or for those who want to have manual controls on a relatively compact shooter.

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Functions, Flash Shoe, Good quality pictures, Night Snapshot mode

A good camera for budding enthusiasts that require more than a simple point and shoot camera.

 

A great Camera, well built & nevers misses a shot

Jan 6, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Stabilised Lense, good Low Light Performance, good features, well built and Compact
Cons: No Raw support - but not essential for a compact or point & shoot camera
Opinion:
Its a great camera on its own, don't compare it with its predecessors and SLRs. As a compact camera it produces great pictures and it has very useful features set, great stabilised Lense and it responds briskly. What else one needs from a compact camera !
