    Good Points: Fantastic Camera 240mb Card High Res 447 Pics Low res over 2500 Pics available

    Bad Points: My own lack of knowledge

    General comments: Going from the F801 & the EOS30 to the Canon PowerShot G3 was a big move for me. I love this camera I've only had it for about six months but I'm already thinking of going for the G5. I found that the auto focus in very low light situations can be a bit twitchy. Focus & final picture results have been fantastic for a digital camera. The video side of the camera works well good colour sound & clarity & easy playback. All the pics I have taken to date have been full of colour sharp & crisp the bad ones got wiped lol. Last Comment: Buy It you wont be dissapointed

    I have had this camera for about 3 months now and love it. I moved up from the PowerShot S40 and have not used my film cameras since. I find the 2 custom mode very useful as I have one set up for ultimate quality (RAW/50iso etc) and one for very low light shotting. If you want very large prints, the best results I've had are with shooting RAW/50iso then using GENUINE FRACTALS (a plug in for PhotoShop) to enlarge them. 13"x19" super A3 inkjets still look fantastic.

    Superb pic quality and ease of handling make this the 'David against Golaith' Prosumer Camera 'To Have' without doubt for me. I recently shot news pics of a full blown air sea rescue on sea cliffs in a howling storm, despite poor light, steady rain, lashing sea spray, high wind, and dust & sand blasted air from shooting under 10 tons of RAF Sea King Rescue helicopter down draught, the G3 performed magnificently & delivered superb images given the appalling conditions. At no time did I try to pro ...

    Fantastic picture quality. Probably due to ease of error correction in non SLR lens.
