| Description |
|
The Powershot G1 aims at offering professional camera features in a compact body. Its only slightly heavier and larger than a typical point-and-shoot compact camera but manages to pack a lot into the space. The 3.3 Megapixel CCD gives a commendable maximum image size of 2,048 by 1,536. Theres a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom on top. The lens retracts into the body when its switched off. The 1.8-inch LCD panel tilts and swivels which proves a boon when you get more adventurous positioning your camera and you can also close it so that its facing the camera to protect it from damage. The optical viewfinder is more accurate than most, but is still not as good as a proper through the lens viewfinder. The camera comes bundled with some excellent software and even has a remote control. As well as fully automatic modes youve the option to manually set a wide range of settings, including an excellent set of exposure controls to help you take pictures under difficult lighting conditions. Low light proves no problem and the white balance is accurate. It can capture subtle colour variations that a typical compact digital camera would miss. Images are not quite as sharp as those from cameras with larger lenses however. The Powershot G1 is solidly built and well-designed. It is perfect for those who dont want to lug around a big camera but still require a high degree of flexibility and the capability to capture under a wide range of conditions.--Miles Berkeley |

This camera is perfect for snaps, and wonderful for beautiful close up shots. Since I bought mine I have taken it everywhere because it is so small and unobtrusive to use. And I have convinced at least 3 of my friends to go digital. I have taken more photos with this camera in the last 4 months than.. 
A very neat belt case ideal for a day trip without extras
There are essentially two parts to this book--one in which the author explains how a digital camera works (the information can be found just as clearly on the Web), and one where various photographers demonstrated how they took pictures that they felt were good examples of digital camera work. I can..
