The Canon PowerShot G2 Digital Camera
 The
Canon PowerShot G2 is a precise and powerful tool for professional and
advanced amateur photographers who want a very high-resolution digital
camera that offers quality, performance, and reliability, similar to fine
35mm SLR cameras.
4.0 Megapixel CCD
The PowerShot G2's 4 megapixel CCD provides high resolution for prints
that are comparable to the products of fine 35mm cameras. This increase in
resolution produces a dramatic difference in image quality over the
standard 2 megapixel class cameras. The CCD is also equipped with primary
color filters (RGB) for superior color reproduction. While in the past,
primary color filters caused images to be somewhat noisier than
complementary color filters, the G2 includes a new IC with improved signal
processing. This creates images that are not only rich in detail but also
include true-to-life color and lower noise levels.
Powerful 3x Optical and 11x Digital Zoom
The G2 features a genuine Canon 3x Optical Zoom lens giving an 35mm
equivalent focal length of 34 to 102mm. For even more dramatic close-ups,
the G2 has a 3.6x digital zoom which, when combined with the optical zoom,
allows you to zoom smoothly in on your subjects to a magnification of up
to 11x.
Direct Print Mode (for Card Photo Printer CP-10)
With Direct Print Mode you can print brilliant credit card-sized photos
using the Card Photo Printer CP-10 without computer connection in 3 easy
steps. Just connect, select and print and your pictures will be ready in
less than a minute. Choose from one of three formats: credit card sized
borderded images, credit card sized borderless images or 8 mini-labels. A
special cropping feature allows you to size the image you want to print
exactly as it appears in the frame of the LCD monitor.
Vari-angle LCD for Easier Handling and Shooting Capability
The G2 was designed with a Vari-angle LCD so that you can shoot easily
from any angle. The camera has easy to access controls like stacked dials
(main dial and mode dial) to turn the camera on or off or to select the
shooting mode. The G2 also has an easy-to-use Omni Selector to control the
zoom or image during playback. The optical viewfinder includes a built-in
dioptric adjustment feature that adjusts to your eyesight.
Various Shooting Modes
