Canon PowerShot G3 Digital Camera

Pros: Many innovative improvements over the Canon Powershot G2
Cons: None worthy of note

Photography, whether film or digital, starts with the camera. Cameras are really nothing more than a light tight box with some sort of light sensitive material or device behind an orifice designed to allow light into the box for measured increments of...

Pros: Too many to list... the G3 almost makes the G2 look bad!
Cons: Price, Weak Flash.

Unbelievable, the 4-5 MegaPixel consumer market segment has only been around for the past year... maybe year and a half. It's simply unbelievable how fast the digital camera market has advanced in such a short period of time.

Not long ago, I...

Pros: Great optics, 4X optical zoom lens, system capabilities.
Cons: Neck strap (hey - gotta say something bad, don't you?)

Overview
The G-3 is the latest in Canon's G-family of cameras, and like it's
predecessors is a prosumer camera, meaning that it is a mix of the basic functionality of a digital SLR while at the same time providing point-&-shoot...

Pros: Extensive list of functions to satisfy every enthusiast, great picture quality
Cons: Optical viewfinder is not worth using

This was my first foray into digital photography, although I've been a photography enthusiast for years. In the film genre, my last two SLR's were a Canon A1 and a Canon Elan IIe. I've owned the Canon G3 for two months now and have been very pleased...

Pros: Outstanding image quality, creative features, HOT SHOE!!!!
Cons: A bit bulky, ISO and JPEG compression in menus instead of on rocker

The Canon PowerShot G3 is my third digital camera. As many others (48 as I write this) have reviewed the G3 and gone into intimate detail with its features and modes, I will concentrate more on actually using the camera, my experience moving to the G3 ...

Pros: fast lens, zoom range, flexibility, ease of use, hot shoe
Cons: a little expensive

I wanted to take the only digital camera, a Canon S110, for my own use. In order to do this, I need to get my wife another one so she can continue to shoot pictures of my daughter at home. Instead of looking for a model that is comparable to the S110 (a...

Pros: Full Control, Fast 4X lens, Superior Image Quality, Compact Flash I/II Media
Cons: Proprietary Battery, Poor RAW Software, Bulky, Lens Cap

BACKGROUND I have been using an entry-level 2MP camera for a couple of years (Finepix 2400). It performs admirably for its category, but decided it was time to go for higher resolution (4-5MP) and more control over exposure parameters. After considerab ...

Pros: Capable of extremely high image quality Very short shutter release lag
Cons: Really bad focus-lock time, even in bright light

I am a long-time user of highly responsive film SLRs and professional quality external flash equipment, just so you know my bias. I have been watching the development of digicams for years, waiting to make my first move. What I really want is a $1,500...

Pros: Excellent quality hardware. Versatile functions. Swivel LCD viewer is fantastic asset. Useful battery life.
Cons: Auto-focus can miss. So-so Red-eye reduction. Viewfinder partly obscured by lens. Optical zoom only 4x.

The Canon G3 is an excellent mid-size digital camera for the price. I have owned one for 7 months as of this writing and have had very satisfying results. I highly recommend it for any photographer that wants an ample range of features, while keeping ...

Pros: supporting FAT32 for CF, Good coloring, fast, 2nd-curtain flash, fast lens, long battery life
Cons: bad View finder, limited zoom, slow auto focus

First off, G3 is the very first decent digital camera I have owned, not including 640x480 Kodak DCS I bought 6 years ago. I however have taken thousands of pictures with digital cameras from my company, my friends and relatives, including Leica Digilux...

Pros: Feature RICH! Takes stunning photographs! Long battery life!
Cons: Lens barrel visible through optical viewfinder.

I'm just a guy who loves to take photos of everything and everyone in all kinds of lighting conditio ...

Pros: Great picture quality, rich with functions, many improvements from the G2
Cons: Some constructional flaws

When Canon introduced their G1-camera for some time ago, it quickly became one of the most beloved cameras on the market. It was the "Best in Test", camera in several magazines, and later the G2 was given the same recognition. It was also given the "Best...

Pros: Advanced camera, Good image Quality, Flexible exposure modes, many, many features
Cons: a little bulky

My Canon G1 had the dreaded, well published, black screen of death. Or in other words, it completely ...

Pros: Probably the most versatile and near perfect camera for the non-professional.
Cons: Terminal cover flimsy and hard to use. Zoombrowser software needs improvements.

I am not a professional or even a semi-professional photographer, so this review will be short and sweet.

If you are interested in more comprehensive reviews of this fabulous digital camera, I would suggest that you read some of the excellent...

Pros: Incredible array of controls, great battery life, sharp photos & great colors
Cons: Autofocus difficult in low light & at anything except full wide-angle.

I have been using Canon's prosumer Powershot "G" series cameras since G1. A few days ago, I just sold off my G2 when I found out that G3 has arrived at the local stores.

I have nothing against the G2, in fact, I think it is a great camera. If...
