Is the new Canon Powershot G3 the best G yet?

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Canon?s new third generation G3 is a superb update of the excellent Powershot G2.
Review: 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...

G3 : King of the 4 MegaPixel cameras?

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2002
The Bottom Line: Unbelievable, the G3 is something to behold. Has a couple of minor improvements over the Nikon CoolPix 4500 that makes this camera my current favorite.
Review: 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,...

Best overall 4MP Digital Camera, better than most 5MP

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: Absolutely highly recommended. There are very few prosumer cameras (4/5MP) in the market that outperform Canon PowerShot G3, both in image quality and features.
Review: 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...

Last year's best, equals this year's bargain

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: Has all of the creative features an advanced photographer could want. With prefocus the shutter-lag goes away, making this a VERY versatile camera.
Review: 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...

For the enthusiast

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you're an enthusiast used to a quality SLR, you won't be happy with anything else. If you know Canon SLR's, the transition to the G3 is very comfortable!
Review: 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...

Within its limitations, produces amazingly fine images

Date of Review:  May 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you're an enthusiast, there are ways to get around its limitations that will just amaze you with the results.
Review: 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...

Happiness with the Canon G3

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: Loving this camera for its size and ease of use while providing great quality. A step up from point and shoot camera but easy to use compared to digital SLR.
Review: I was going to purchase this camera online after reading all the technical reviews, but I had problems with the company that I selected online. So, I ended up purchasing this at the local camera shop instead.

I'm incredibly pleased with...

G-3 - A Great Prosumer Camera - Updated For Add-on Lenses

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent camera with plenty of room to grow for any aspiring or "already there" photographer. It's one great product with plenty of punch for the buck.
Review: 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...

Best of the 4 megapixel

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you want to have control over shots and do some pro-sumer type photos this camera is great, but easy enough for the beginner.
Review: Buttons are accessible while taking the picture. Camera feels comfortable in your hand. Side flip viewer screen is great so you don't get those nose prints on the screen. Also there is no red eye. I have taken shots of my cats and not once have I...

Most feature-rich prosumer digicam in the market

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a new camera, this should be on top of your list.
Review: 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...
