Canon PowerShot G7 Digital Camera Comparison

Favorable Review

Not the perfect compact camera but we're getting close.

APR

2007

I've been looking for the perfect compact camera, one that is small enough to easily carry but powerful enough to take excellent pictures. So far, the Canon PowerShot G7 comes close... very very close.

Bottom line: It's a buy, even if it is expensive. However, there is still room for improvement.

Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance

I have now taken almost 10,000 images with this camera and it has been very dependable. Great pictures with adequate light. I wish it had...

SLR functionality in a portable form factor

an early adopter, a techie, somewhat tech savvy

OCT

2009

The Canon G7 is an older model, but is just as good as the new G series models. It has many of the functions that many love in a SLR, but in a portable form factor. It does not support interchangeable lenses, but you can attached adapter that can allow for telephoto, fisheye, macro attachments. This particular model does not support Raw, but the new models do. It is equipped with a 2" vibrant screen that presents shoots very accurately. Most controls are conveniently position in scrolling dials that are easy on the fingers. The pictures can be shoot up to 10 mega pixels and video can also be taken...

I love my canon powershot. It is easy to use and comes with many great features. I like that I can select individual colors or throw them out and shoot in B&w. It's a little big, but for me (I have a "big" pro camera too) it seems small. I wish I could use it for all my photo shoots. It doesn't have high mp, that's the down side. LOVE the zoom!

I had the G6 before this camera and it had a flip viewfinder that I absolutely loved. I could throw the camera in my purse and not worry about scratching the viewfinder. This one doesn't have that. It does have a bigger window though. It takes great pictures. At 10mp's, it's hard not to get a good shot.

Well I had a different canon powershot and it got messed up at the ocean. We decided to get another one the same brand just a little different and we love it more than the first! This camera takes great pictures and I am no experienced photographer. The colors are great and it is well worth the money spent IMO.

This is such a great camera, I shopped around for ever before deciding, and it has been worth the extra money! The features are amazing, and the dials so easy to use to flip though pictures! Wonderful prints!! I can capture my ever moving toddler with ease on this camera!!
