Canon PowerShot G3 4 Megapixel Compact Camera - Metallic Silver

Canon PowerShot G3 4 Megapixel Compact Camera -...

Strengths: superb battery life. excellent picture quality. outstanding features

Weakness: it is a little bulky

I was really leery about switching from a 35mm to a digital camera and after much research I decided on the G3 and have not regretted it yet. I have taken thousands of pictures after purchasing a 512 mb card. I blow up many pictures to 8x10 and they come out flawlessly. I would strongly recommend this product to anyone.

Strengths: Every control you want on a good SLR.

Weakness: Shutter lag( It exists on all digital cameras, but I still prefer shorter lag).

I have been involved in photography for 10 years. Finally I decided to buy Canon G3. I am very happy with the picture quality and control it has. You can not ask for more at this price.

Strengths: Exceptional resolution, sharp Canon lens, loaded with features, substantial feel, quality metal and plastic construction, swivel LCD, fairly easy to use.

Weakness: Autofocus can be a tad slow.

Exceptional performance from a 4.0 megapixel camera. The built-in neutral density filter is a plus. I've only taken about 100 pictures, but the camera seems to deliver consistently well-exposed, well-saturated images that are (at least in my opinion) better than many of its 4.0 megapixel rivals. This camera is simply awesome! I highly recommend it. :)

Strengths: Web site

Weakness: None as of yet

Short & sweet! I knew what I wanted, they had the G3 in stock, strong commitment to get it to me when I needed it (a little sales pitch on accessories) - can't wait to get the G3!!! Very efficient sales - highly recommend!

perfect camera, don't want to miss it anymore. It does everything what I want in a perfect way. The lens is really the best in this class.

Strengths: Many small improvements over the G2 (also own). Favorite new feature is the "main wheel" which makes it much easier and quicker to make exposure changes.

Weakness: Hate the fact that the longer lens obscures a portion of the view through the optical viewfinder.

Have owned a G2 for over a year and have not had a single complaint. Great camera. The G3 has the potential to be even better. Someone at Canon really messed up though when they allowed this camera on the market with one (in my opinion) terrible flaw. The fact that the lens is visible and blocks a portion of the scene is simply unexcusable. This might be expected of a cheap camera but this one is...

Strengths: Controls are great, LCD can swivel.

Weakness: Adapter barrel is very intrusive.

This is a great camera and can take great photos. When I read the reviews about the barrel of the adapter intruding on the viewfinder, I thought it wouldn't be serious. It IS serious. It blocks approximately HALF of the viewfinder area, including the center crosshair area. It feels like you are taking photos 'blind' when the filter adapter is on. Even when the filter adapter is off, the barrel...

Strengths: Excellent quality hardware, fit and finish. Versatile functions. Swivel LCD viewer is a fantastic asset. Photo speed is good (use CF Ultra II). Battery life is very good.

Weakness: Auto-focus takes some getting used to. Lens partially obscures optical view finder. Battery life indicator not evenly progressive.

The Canon G3 is an excellent mid-size digital camera for the price. I have owned one for 7 months as of this writing and have had very satisfying results. I highly recommend it for any photographer that wants an ample range of features, while keeping the base cost to less than $500. It is nicely weighted, feels solid, and is small enough for easy traveling (compared to an SLR). It has versatile...
