Canon’s Powershot G-series cameras, which began with the 3.3mp G1 in 2000 were reborn with the more stylish 4mp G2 and G3. The G2 is a chunky little camera that records JPG and RAW files on Compact Flash cards. The 7-21mm f/2-2.5 zoom lens is surrounded by a ring that can be removed to fit an adapter for the addition of wideangle, telephoto and macro lenses. As well as the usual built-in flash, the G2 also has a standard hot-shoe, compatible with contemporary Canon Speedlights. The G3 is slightly better specified, with new features that include a 4x optical zoom lens, focus bracketing, a new processor, intelligent scene analysis and flexible autofocus point selection.
