I'm back from 2 weeks in Hawaii with my G2. What's the verdict? Read on...

Background:
I've been using a 2mp Toshiba PDR-M5 for the past year and a half. I dropped it, the screen broke, and I decided it was time for an upgrade. I wanted a quality 4mp camera, and knew this was going... Read full review »

G2 Surpasses G1

Pros Great picture quality, powerful enough to be fully automatic or to allow you complete...
Cons Not as good macro capability (without add-on lenses) as Nikon coolpix 995.
Recommended it? Yes

My first digital camera (bought summer 2001) was the Canon G1, which, at 3 megapixels, was the top of the line for its time. I had read on various digital photography forums that the G1 suffered from some limitations, especially in its ability to render color and skin tones naturally, and it's... Read full review »

Pros Very good picture quality, versatile autofocus.
Cons Pricey. The autofocus can take a while to focus.
Recommended it? Yes

While I could never be called a camera buff, new technologies fascinate me. I guess we are pretty typical in that we've always had one camera or another to record our families memories. I had seen various digital cameras at family reunions, weddings and other gatherings from time to time. Whenever... Read full review »

Pros Solidly built; many features; excellent photos; easy to hold.

Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Canon PowerShot G2 Digital Zoom Camera after trading up from the Kodak DC280. As far as features and settings go, there is no comparison between the two.

The Kodak took great pictures and was much smaller and compact, but did not have the range of features and settings like... Read full review »

I've been a fan and owner of several Olympus Camedia digital cameras over the past couple of years, but my 35mm SLR camera of choice is the Canon EOS Rebel II. Since I've been extremely happy with both, but always wondered what type of digital performance Canon was able to generate, I decided to... Read full review »

Pros 4MP, movie mode, excellent battery life
Cons unreliable, expensive
Recommended it? No

I bought my G2 in January and after using it for a few days,
it already has some problems -- built-in flash didn't work,
camera would automatically shut itself down while taking
pictures, and 50% of the pictures I've taken were corrupted.
I have to send it back for service. I... Read full review »

Cons It is expensive

I think that the CNET review describes this camera very well. I've had it for a couple of weeks and am very impressed. This is my first digital camera and I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pictures and the available feature. When I'm lazy, I can use it as a point and shoot, and when I...

Pros Excellent picture quality and battery life
Cons Price

I decided to retire my old, worn out digital camera. I made the mistake of wandering into a store, credit card in hand with a dreamy look in my eyes. I DID get a great camera, but this is way more camera that I NEEDED.

Make no mistakes; the Cannon PowerShot G2 is a great piece of... Read full review »

For sure, Canon PowerShot G2 is the best top quality camera on the market these days. I have been looking for a decent digital camera recently. It all depends on what you are going to use this camera for. Big numbers of pixels equate to photo-quality prints, where smaller numbers of pixels mean... Read full review »
