Written on January 4, 2002 Summary: Good Investment 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. Written on December 31, 2001 Summary: Great camera with few faults 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.  Written on December 27, 2001 Summary: A wonderful camera Okay I'm not a pro, or semi pro or anything like that! I bought the G1 primarily as a point and shoot hoping that I'd find the time to use its advanced functions. I've owned other digital cameras and this blows them away. First off... The LCD swivel rocks. Batter life??? OH BOY literally hundreds of pictures on a single charge of the included cam-corder battery. Plus it supports Compact Flash type II so you can use a MicroDrive if neeeded for unlimited storage possibilities. If you decide on the G1 (or the G2 for that matter), I suggest you visit...and purchase the lensmate adapter and UV filter to protect your lens. It makes the camera a bit larger but will protect your investment. My setup: I haven't found any real "cons" with the G1. Nothing is perfect.. here's my list: *recording AVI movies runs battery down pretty quickly *Don't use the camera in freezing conditions.. it won't work Also, I'm not certain that I like the Speedlite 420 with the G1.. I'm no expert and have to work a bit more with the cam/flash combo but my pictures are normally over saturated when using the bounce flash. I'm guessing it's just because I haven't got the experience. This is a great camera. Written on December 14, 2001 Summary: Print Quality #1 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. Written on December 5, 2001 Summary: The Canon G1...not a run of the mill digital camera!!! 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 |
