  Can not power on May 24, 2009 I bought this Canon G7 from Amazon in April, 2007. It worked very well for me until in March, 2009. It does not power on anymore. I push the power button. It does not work. I recharged the battery. It does not work. I switch another SD memory card. It does not work.
Basically, it is useless for me right now.
  don't buy February 20, 2009 I bought this camera and mistakenly kept it in my pocket. Lens completely fills with dust. Its a manufacturing flaw when the lens retracts it creates a suction which sucks dust into the sensor. There is no way to clean it except to send it back. Do not buy this camera.
  Bought it last year. Completely satisfied. December 6, 2008 This camera does an excellent job. It has the best "auto" results I've ever seen in any digital camera AND it lets me adjust whatever manual settings I want to use for every specific situation.
The macro function works just great and the auto white balance delivers surprinsingly natural colors (not to mention the additional WB selector and custom WB).
The Image Stabilizer always comes in handy. Even photos taken from inside a car in motion will look still. The 6x optical zoom is fast and reliable. Too bad you can't use it when recording video.
ISO 80, 100, 200 and 400: Amazing results; sharp details and clear, natural, rich colors for most light conditions. I'm a flash hater so I often use ISO 400 indoors.
ISO 800 and 1600: Add some noise to the pictures, but in return you get higher speed shots for dim light scenes that otherwise would be impossible to get without flash or tripod. The resulting noise when using these ISO settings is not that bad compared to other cameras I've used before.
The video recording feature works fine for not being a camcorder. Pretty fast exposure adjusting and convincing WB in its fair-enough 640x480 px.
I bought it last year and I just can't stop taking pictures (I've shot more than 4000 with it by now). Even though I'm a perfectionist, most photos look so good they don't need any post editing at all.
If I got my camera stolen or broken, I would buy it again. I'm so pleased with the results that I'm now looking for its waterproof case, an extra battery and the wide angle lens.
  Outstanding point n' shoot. May 15, 2008 Short and simple. I got this camera as a gift, from my uncle who is a pro. Best camera out there! For point and shoot, for family, and other purposes this camera is all you will ever need! Unless you are a pro? This is it!
  Lousy customer support - dust in lenses May 10, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Beware of Canon customer support. I bought a G7 a year ago and after six month something that look like dust particle managed to get into the lens (all pictures and videos have a black dot). First I thought that I could clean than but then I realized the lenses are sealed. Then I wondered, if the lenses are sealed the only way a particle of dust could have gotten there was when it was manufactured. Well, I call Canon and guess what; they offered me to send the camera for repair (at my expense) or a refurbished one for $250 dollars. If I knew how I would sue this company for utter irresponsibility. Now all my pictures and videos have a black dot thanks to Canon's lack of support. So long for a honey moon with Canon...
