Summary: Fantastic camera makes even a camera moron look good!
Review: I have had my G-1 for over a year now and absolutely LOVE it. It's my first digital camera and has given me a new found love of photography. I'm what you would classify a camera moron, but the G-1 makes the photos I take look fantastic. It's simple enough to use for those who need point-and-shoot functionality while allowing for more advanced photographers to play with speed, aperature, white balance, exposure, etc. to achieve the desired effect. One of the greatest features of this camera is the battery life. I'm reading reviews of other 3MP cameras and am blown away that they only offer 1-3 HOURS of battery life. The G-1 will allow me 1-3 FULL DAYS of moderate to heavy shooting before I have to recharge. UNBELIEVABLE!!
My only complaint (and it is a small one) is that the body of the camera does not allow you to use interchangeable SLR lenses and filters, but hey. . .given everything else, it's a flaw I'm willing to overlook. It's a little on the pricey side, but this is one of those cases where you get MORE than what you pay for.Summary of things I like:
Takes great photos
Battery life, battery life, battery life
Ease of use
Easy to download photos to my computer with USB cable
Comes with Adobe Photoshop LE & Zoombrowser photo management software
AV out to view photos on your TV
Motion video capable
Did I mention it takes GREAT photos and has a fantastic battery life? Things I don't like:
Not SLR lens compatible
The PhotoRecord photo layout software is a little quirky I purchased the G-1 as an impulse buy while on vacation and have not regretted it one bit. It's a great all around camera.

Summary: Canon Powershot G!
Review: This is great camera. It replaces my old 35mm Canon A1. The photos are sharp. A very user friendly camera. I wish they would make additional lens for this unit. Strongly recommend external canon flash 420. .

Summary: Great compliment to 35mm
Review: I purchased the G1 in December as a carry-along camera as I travel on business. The camera needed to serve two purposes, 1)substitute for a bulky SLR while traveling while providing high quality images; 2) be dependable and easy to carry. The G1 has been an excellent companion. I have actually used it to photograph construction drawings. The printed images were amazingly clear and the detail superb, even when printing at 8x10 - note even the small print on the drawings was perfectly clear. I was initially reluctant to go digital, and am now truly impressed. As a compliment to a 35mm camera you can't go wrong with the G1, for the price.

Summary: Good Investment
Review: This purchase was my first digital camera. I waited until now because I wanted a camera with good resolution at an affordable price. This is truely an excellent camera. When used properly, it takes fantastic photos. The battery goes forever. The addition of 64/120 MB cards allowed me to take tons of photos. Why 4 stars? (1) The resolution on the 30 sec video could be better. (2) In low light situations (camera on auto), if you turn the flash off, photos mostly blurr(not always). You get a "shaky camera" icon and even if the camera is on a tripod, photos are sometimes blurred. This has caused me to miss some great shots.

Summary: Great camera with few faults
Review: I bought my G1 5 monts ago and have found it to be an excellent overall performer. The lens is very sharp and I have found the spot meter to be particularly useful in general shooting. There are some drawbacks -- shutter delay is present and is sometimes a problem in shooting candid photos. Also, I found it very difficult to get good printed results until I purchased a Canon S800 printer. The Canon printer provided excellent printed results. Even though film may have higher resolution in theory, my prints from the Canon were as sharp or sharper than anything I've seen from prints from the local drugstore.

Summary: Print Quality #1
Review: I just bought this camera last night and had it down in just a short time. Except for a feature or two that I would use, like bulb setting, the picture quality is magnificent. I did a few test shots at the highest resolution setting & had them printed at a lab on conventional color paper. At 11x17 the photos look like they came off a 6x7 neg. 35mm can't even compete as far as I am concerned....Canon, keep it going.

Summary: The Canon G1...not a run of the mill digital camera!!!
Review: I have had my G1 for about 6 months now and everyone who has seen images from this camera are amazed. I purchased this camera because it is substantial, well-designed, intuitive and produces outstanding image quality. Many may find the camera too heavy, but I find many competitors flimsy and cheap. That is disconcerting given the investment one makes in these gadgets. I recommend everyone pick up the camera at your local retailer (...) to be certain its size and weight are suitable. The LCD flip screen is a big plus with crystal clear resolution and the ability to protect the screen while in the case or in use. The Canon G1 has only three problems. First, in extremely sunny settings I find the background can be quite overexposed (burned out). Second, I noticed a pixel in the periphery is intermittently bright green suggesting this portion of the CCD is not functioning. Not a big deal, but I am inquiring with Canon about resolving this issue. Third, the Canon G2 came out shortly after my purchase. Oh well!!! I think it would be unlikely one will be unhappy with the purchase as long as it fits within your budget. Good Luck
