Canon Powershot G2 Digital Camera [4MP 3xOptical]

Product Information

The lens focuses as close as 0.95m, which is pretty much best in class. However, its specified maximum magnification of 0.16x is actually a little lower than Canon and Nikon’s offerings due to focus breathing effects (in other words, the angle of view getting wider as the lens is focused closer). Tamron 70-200mm G2 – Image stabilisation We tested the Tamron SP 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD G2 with the Canon 6D, Canon 6D Mk II, and various lights. Tech Specs The G series has a lithium-ion battery, full manual exposure control, an articulated LCD screen (G7, G9, G10, G15, and G16 have a fixed screen), Raw image format capture (all models except G7), a lens with a wider maximum aperture than standard PowerShot models, remote capture (except G11), and faster image processing. The range also includes a hot shoe (except G7 X and G9 X) for an external flashgun, including Canon's EX range. New models in the series have larger sensors than most other point-and-shoot cameras ( G1X, G1X Mark II, G7X). Megapixels are not the only thing that contribute to image quality. The lens is obviously a huge factor, as well as the image recording medium, which in this camera's case is a CCD sensor, something that is becoming quite sought after in the film community, as it is said to produce more film-like colors than modern CMOS technology. In these examples here, you can see the way it’s rendered the pink and green as well as the orange of the chair, which, to me, an avid film shooter, looks pretty similar to the look and feel I’m accustomed to in comparison. The images I’ve been seeing produced by vintage digital cameras with CCD sensors appeals to me more than the objectively better, but arguably more clinical and less interesting modern digital cameras being produced today.

Sports lens has dust & splash proof "construction" while the Contemporary has a dust & splash proof "mount" are largely insignificant between the G2 version and its predecessor, which is somewhat surprising considering they feature different optical formulas.

When testing its ability to follow moving subjects on the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, I got the impression that it was capable of doing practically whatever the camera asked of it, keeping fast-moving subjects impressively sharp once it had initially acquired focus. I think most users will be happy with its capabilities for normal viewfinder shooting. languages available for menus and messages (English, German, French, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese)

a b Joinson, Simon (November 2006). "Canon PowerShot G7 Review". Digital Photography Review . Retrieved 30 October 2009. Similar to the G7. Most notable changes were reintroduction of Raw image format capture, a better LCD, and a new sensor. [14] Single/ Index (9 thumbnail images), Magnified (approx. 3x or 6x on build-in LCD monitor), Slide show or image output to direct printer (CP-10)In short, from the hundreds of real-world images I shot while testing the lens on the 30-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, I didn’t find any obvious problems that would prevent me from recommending the lens. Tamron 70-200mm G2 – Resolution With all of these lenses featuring identical focal length/aperture ranges and similar features (like vibration/optical stabilization), other lens aspects become the prominent differentiating factors. The G1 X was introduced in February 2012 and is a significant step out of the traditional G-line because of its much larger sensor, and it is the first model with a CMOS sensor. The G1 X's sensor measures 18.7 x 14.0mm (1.5"), which makes it even 16 percent bigger than the Micro Four Thirds standard (MFT), and 20 percent smaller than APS-C Canon sensor. G1 X was significant that it did not replace the older G12 but created a parallel model in the first time in G-series. Later that trend would continue with five parallel models from 2015 on. The camera is also bigger and heavier than the other G-series cameras, and the zoom range in equivalent 35mm is only 28-112mm (4x). [5] With its maximum aperture over its zoom range being F2.8-5.8, and with its sensor smaller than Canon APS-C sensor, the G1 X camera-lens system can be compared to the APS-C DSLRs using the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II SLR Kit Lens: the G1 X is a little faster (wider aperture) at the wide angle and comparable thereafter, but with a longer zoom.
