Canon PowerShot G7 Review

Seemingly second class to its admirable Canon G6 predecessor, the Canon G7’s lackluster look and features are giving its G series generation a bad rap.  Though lighter and smaller, its dark, formal design lacks any kind of hand grip and the LCD has no information or status panel.  Unlike the G6 the G7 has a slower zoom lens and no longer has resolution screen vari-angle


To its credit it carries the traditional G series features like, SLR-like functionality in a solid, compact body and high-end features such as fast lenses and external flash capability.  Although the G7 does come with the latest new Digic III processor face detection and image stabilization feature, 10 mega pixels, longer (but slower) zoom lens, wider ISO range, better macro mode, enhanced movie mode, and additional scene modes.
