Guide Review - Canon PowerShot G2 Digital Camera

Canon PowerShot G2 digital camera is as easy to operate as any point and shoot camera, but it also has professional features and full manual control. For example, it can save images in the RAW file format which allows the user the greatest image editing control. In addition to the built-in lens, Canon offers a full line of compatible lenses including wide angle, telephoto, and close up lenses. Its direct print feature gives you the option of using a small card printer (CP-10) that is compact enough to travel with you wherever you roam. Add that to the more involved features this digital camera has to offer, and you have an excellent digital camera for graphic artists, amateurs and professional photographers.
