Canon PowerShot G7 Review

You will be in control with this classically designed Canon PowerShot G7 with 10 megapixels CCD, DIGIC III processor and total of 24x zoom (optical 6x and digital 4x). With the Image Stabliliser counteracting the effect of camera shake and 10 megapixels capturing the fine detail, high quality prints are yours even when printed in poster size.

The Canon G7 has 25 shooting modes from automatic to full manual control. These include two custom settings and special scene modes such as portrait, landscape, night, kids and pets, sports, indoor, snow, beach, fireworks, underwater and aquarium.
