Canon PowerShot G7 Key Specs
• Zoom range: 6X
• Resolution: 10.0 megapixels
• LCD screen: 2.5 inches
• Top firing speed: 2fps
• Top sensitivity: ISO 1600 (ISO 3200 at reduced resolution)
• Image stabilization: Yes (lens-based)
• About $500

Canon's top-ranking compact earns its stripes with a fast, image-stabilized 6X optical zoom (35-210mm equivalent f/2.8-4.8) that folds completely flat into the rangefinder-retro body; third-generation DIGIC processing, which speeds startup, autofocus, and shutter response; and compatibility with new SDHC cards, allowing the camera to capture up to 4GB of uninterrupted video. Of course, the latter also means you can fit at least twice as many 10-megapixel stills on a memory card. A new G-series feature is face detection, for more reliable autofocus with people pictures.
