Canon Powershot G1 3.3MP Digital Camera - Micro...Strengths: Manual controls, versatile, automatic, swivel lcd and protected, smart camera Weakness: macro, takes a while to learn manual controls, movie feature should not be limited to 30 seconds but use space available on card. This camera kicks butt! It is the first digital camera that acts like a true 35 MM maunal camera. The quality is awesome. It has the capbaility of using a 1 GIG IBM Microdrive. That is amazing. Best camera on the market for the money! 0% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Canon Powershot G1 3.3MP Digital Camera - Micro...Strengths: From fully automatic to manual controls, this camera has it all. The user friendly interface and picture quality are superb. Weakness: The compact flash card should be flipped so that the ridge is accessable. It is some what difficult to remove in the position it is in now. The first day I saw this camera and all the controls I was a bit overwhelmed. By the second day I was using all of the features. Because of the excellent manual, this camera is very easy to use. I was amazed at the clarity of the images, especially at the macro level. I found that I prefer to use the P setting, which allows more control of the final product, than the AUTO setting. Although, the AUTO setting did produce excellent images. I am also impressed with the auto white balance and the tonal range of the images. An all around excellent camera.

Canon Powershot G1 3.3MP Digital Camera - Micro...Strengths: Ease of Use and Clarity Weakness: really none. The G-2 has a better grip This is a fantastic Digital Camera. I would recommend it to all. Like with all digital cameras, they are light sensitive. In the dark and in the bright sun. Filters for day shooting especially in bright light are a great help. Also a flash attachment would be a great idea for low light situations. Other then that, I have absolutely no complaints. I've taking a bunch of shots and printed them on my average printer and they have all turned out very very good. Actually, way better then I expected. Email me if you have any questions.

Canon Powershot G1 3.3MP Digital Camera - Micro...Strengths: Many features, easy to use, long lasting battery, Amazing pictures Weakness: Only comes with 16mb flash card, occasionally in certain lighting conditions picture appears moire'd This is our 1st digital camera, but I have used quite a few other cameras before from Sony, Kodak and Toshiba. This is by far the best of the ones I've used. It has a very intuitive interface, comes with a remote, has USB upload, and Canon makes many attachments for it. It has the weight and feel of a well made camera. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Canon Powershot G1 3.3MP Digital Camera - Micro...Strengths: Great picture quality. Lots of flexibility in exposure/camara setting. Supports CF+ cards (Microdrives). Good menu system Weakness: Doesn't (yet) support PIM. The G1 is a great 3.3Mpix camera for people that want both a point an shoot (set the camera to the green "Auto" setting) or the flexability of creative settings. The firmware supports most of the Canon EOS modes of operation - Aperature, Shutter, Program (tweak the auto settings) and of course fully Manual modes provide all kinds of creative settings.

Canon Powershot G1 3.3MP Digital Camera - Micro...
Strengths: Image Quality, Battery Life, Features
Weakness: Sports/Action photos
This is a great camera. Image quality and color are dead on and the 3MP are plenty for 8x10 photos. The shot modes are a great way to adjust camera settings for optimal use without going through the menu system. I rarely have the need to use the LCD screen, except to show off shots. The external function keys and dedicated information LCD are a great addition that kept my use of the LCD to almost zero. Battery life is amazing. I charge it up before a trip and have gone 7 days or over 200 shots on a single charge. Cannot see any reason to get a second battery unless I were to use the LCD for manual focusing. The only weakness I have had is with moving subjects. The Camera just cannot get a focus and any moving shot is blurred.
