PowerShot G2 Black Edition, with a refined black-body design, retains the functionality, performance and reliability of the original G2, launched in September 2001. In addition to its 1/1.8″ 4-million-pixel CCD sensor and fast 34-102mm (35mm format equivalent) f/2.0-2.5 zoom lens, the PowerShot G2 Black Edition employs such state-of-the-art imaging technology as an RGB primary color filter and Canon’s proprietary Imaging Engine digital signal-processing IC to achieve superior imaging and color reproduction performance.
PowerShot G2 Black Edition enables “Camera Direct”print capability with Canon’s CP-100 and existing CP-10, as well as the BJ F890PD Bubble Jet printer.
