The Canon PowerShot G7 inherits and expands on the outstanding image quality, functionality, and design of its predecessor, the PowerShot G6, released in September 2004. Equipped with a high-resolution 10.0-megapixel CCD sensor, DIGIC III, and a 6x zoom lens incorporating a lens-shift-type optical image stabilizer (IS)-a first for the PowerShot G-series lineup-the high-end-model G7 delivers class-leading imaging quality and performance. Contributing to enhanced visibility and operability during image capture and playback, Canon’s new PowerShot G7 incorporates a high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD monitor with a wide viewing angle. Additionally, the camera includes an easy-use ISO speed dial and control wheel, and offers a rich array of optional accessories, including Speedlite flashes for EOS cameras, providing users with shooting flexibility.
Utilizing a retractable zoom lens to realize a more square and compact body shape, the new Canon PowerShot G7 achieves a new look for digital devices with its stylish, retro design resembling classic film camera models.
