Manufacturer's product description

It's all up to you with the PowerShot G3. With its 4.0-megapixel CCD sensor providing amazing resolution images, which stay sharp even when printing up to A3, this digital camera is destined to capture your imagination as well as super sharp images. The secret behind the PowerShot G3 isn't just one innovative feature. It's the intuitive way all of its advanced technology works together to make tricky shots look simple. The PowerShot G3 lens is in a league of its own. It is a super-quick, high-resolution 4x optical zoom lens (f2.0 - 3.0) with a focal length of 7.2 to 28.8mm (35 - 140mm equivalent in 35mm format). This gives you a larger zoom range and a faster aperture, especially useful in low light conditions. This camera also features Canon's new, high-performance DIGIC (DIGital Imaging Core) processor for superb color reproduction, fast operation and long battery life. Combine this with the iSAPS (intelligent Scene Analysis based on PhotoSpace) technology, which allows faster auto-focusing, accurate auto-exposure and precise auto white balancing you can be sure you'll achieve faithful image reproduction. The PowerShot G3 contains a full set of scene-based and creative shooting modes, as well as a custom mode where you can set and store parameters to suit your photographic style. What's more, the PowerShot G3 has separate shutter and aperture functions, offering you extensive manual control in a digital camera. Open shutter, closed aperture, less light for longer - whichever you choose, your options are wide open. You'll also find FlexiZone AF/AE and Focus bracketing, to ensure you can achieve perfect focus and exposure. Ergonomic and comfortable in the hand, the camera has a maneuverable LCD screen, while a jog dial combined with the Function button makes it simple to navigate through the creative options.

Canon Powershot G3
Review of Canon PowerShot G3 by STUARTSTIRLING taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Compact,full of features.
Disadvantages Propiratory battery

...I have now ventured into the world of digital photography after over 20 years of using my faithfull Nikon SLR. After spending several hours studying reviews, I decided to look for a lightweight compact camera that had the advantages and versatility of an SLR. The Canon G3 fills the bill admirably and it is one of the most feature packed cameras for its size and price on the market. The camera is fitted with an f2.0 30-140mm zoom lens which can be expanded by digital zoom. It is fitted with a 4.0m pixel ccd which is capable of high resolution sufficient to produce A4 size prints without any trouble at all. The supplied 32m compact flash card will give 27 of this type of shot. The range of features is beyond belief for this size of camera. It has a "flip design" tft screen which shows the exact image that the camera is going... Read review

great for beginners and semi-pros
Review of Canon PowerShot G3 by vittross taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages ease of use - well built - multiple functions
Disadvantages lens has a plasticky feel

...this is a great camera. it has all the automated functions to use as a point-and-shoot for beginners, always doing a great job of automatically choosing the best exposure and aperture. It also gives the more expert user all the flexibility needed to manually override all or part of the settings. The LCD menus are very user-friendly. Picture quality is excellent. The manual is excellent, and fully describes all the functionalities. The downside is on the plasticky feel to the lens - it does not give an impression of solidity and should be handled with care. Another negative: the lens cap is of poor qality and keeps falling off, a shame for a product in this price range. Get yourself a bigger Flashcard than the 32MB provided - the picture quality is so good that you'll want to shoot photos in high resolution... Read review

Great digital camera
Review of Canon PowerShot G3 by bobbybroom taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Clear photo's and automated so easy for a beginner
Disadvantages Mine came without a carry bag, so I had to buy separately

...This is now an updadted op. The camera has been used extensively and so i can tell you some more about it. I can also rectify some of my ciao opinion writing errors by adding in prices etc. Because this was one of my first ops I wasn't sure of what to put but I guess I have learned my lessons. I have never owned a digital camera before, but with the prices coming down I decided to take the plunge. I am not a professional but I do like to snap away with family and friends and occassionaly try to get a little artistic! I bought What Camera, a magazine that gives reviews (i didn't know about Ciao then). From what I read I decided on the G3. But to maximise my value for money I actually purchased the camera from eBay. The camera cost me £395 plus £15 postage from Hong Kong. I guess this was about £100 saving on the best I could...
