The Canon Power Shot G7 is among the Canon’s flagship midsize fixed camera series. The Power Shot G7 produces an image quality and optical performance greatly in demand by advanced photographers. The 10.0 Mega pixel sensor captures the fine detail and allows for reproducing fairly large photo quality prints with added cropping flexibility. The SR lens coating technology greatly reduces chromatic aberration and ghosting and elongates its life. The Power Shot G7’s LCD screen has a protective coating for scratch and light reflection. The Safety Zoom feature allows users to magnify the camera’s zoom range without affecting the image quality. The Canon G7 allows shooting in various shooting modes that are power backed by auto exposure bracketing, focus bracketing and neutral density filter. The Power Shot G7 is equipped with hot shoe support for Canon speedlite flash units that can be used with a range of optional converter lenses. The shortcut button next to viewfinder doubles up as print/ share button for directly printing on the printer. Repetitive functions can be assigned to this shortcut button to save time and tedious access of controls. The powers hot G7 works exceedingly well in low light conditions. It is also equipped with a custom white control for minimizing unusual light exposure. The custom color option lets the user set the contrast, sharpness, saturation and color skin tone.
The G7 uses the smaller NB-2LH battery that offers only limited battery life compared to its peers. The 32 MB memory card that comes bundled with the purchase demands an immediate replacement because of its near to null storage capacity. Considering the weight aspect the G7 is a fairly bulky camera. The outer case of G7 is cluttered with buttons and dials making it difficult for careless holding without accidentally pressing any of these. The Power Shot G7 does find place of itself in the compact category but not the pocketsize easily slide camera category.
