Loving my G7!
(PixelQueen - 5/16/07)It was a tough choice between the Canon A640 and the G7. After trying both cameras, I decided on the G7 even though it cost almost $250 more. Here's why . . . I use the manual features and they're much easier to adjust on the G7. Also, I appreciate the IS because I like to do macros and don't want to use a flash. The longer lense comes in handy too.
My hope is that the G7 will be sufficient enough so that I can hold off buying a DSLR. The G7 is a solid camera that has many of the features of a DSLR, and it fits in my purse. The chance of me getting a good picture increases because I'll have my camera with me most of the time. Can't see myself carrying a heavy DSLR and extra lenses every time I go out.
Why not 5 stars? I wish it had a better grip. There's really no place to put my thumb comfortably. I like the rotating LCD on the A640, which older versions of G cameras had. Longer battery life would be good too. I would be estatic if they included an extra battery pack, so I don't have to go out and buy one - they're on backorder. That I can see the lense barrel from the viewfinder is a design flaw.
All in all, the G7 is a great camera fit for an artist who uses her camera to create works of art through photography and design.
