Canon Powershot G1 3MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom

Product Description

Canon scales the heights of clarity with a state-of-the-art digital camera that delivers images of unprecedented quality. This is a camera with enough advanced options to satisfy a professional photographer, yet it retains an ease of use that will allow a skilled amateur to shoot without feeling overwhelmed. It even boasts the ability to take short movie clips - with sound! Packing 3.34 million pixels, you'll be hard-pressed to find a camera that can deliver a clearer image with 3x Zoom Lens.Meanwhile, you can control every aspect of your shot as much or as little as you want. Shutter speed, aperture, white balance, focus - you can manually adjust any of them to suit your creative needs, or let the PowerShot G1 take care of them for you. Innovative options such as auto exposure bracketing allow you to hedge your best while shooting in questionable conditions. Meanwhile, variable-angle LCD monitor and a convenient wireless remote allow you to take shots from difficult angles with ease. Whether you are a professional or just want to take professional grade photos, the PowerShot G1 is the digital camera for you. This model makes magnifying images: in single image replay, the displayed image can be shown magnified by an approximately factor of 2.5 or 5. It also features movie recording and playback: if a picture is worth a thousand words, then this feature is priceless! When you're desperate for a video camera, the PowerShot G1 can record a QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) digital movie clip (with sound) at 15 frames per second for up to 30 seconds. Then you can play back your home movies on the built-in LCD monitor or a compatible personal computer or even on your TV! The PowerShot G1 even offers video output in either NTSC or PAL, allowing playback abroad.This camera is supplied with Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk 2.0 (for Mac & PC).

Amazon.com Product Description

Like most of Canon's PowerShot line, the G1 is designed to deliver great looking images with minimal fuss. While the other PowerShot models are obsessed with stuffing a quality camera into the smallest possible package, the G1 focuses on features, usability, and image quality before size. We're not saying it's a large camera--in fact, it's smaller than most manufacturers' compact models--but it's still a substantial jump in size from a Digital Elph.

The 3.3-megapixel CCD captures images at user-selectable resolutions of 2,048 x 1,536, 1,024 x 768, and 640 x 480--which means you can take pictures for making detailed 8-by-10 prints as well as clicking snapshots for the Web and e-mail. The G1 also lets you choose between three varying degrees of JPEG compression, or, when taking pictures at highest resolution, you can store images in the RAW format, which, unlike JPEG compression, is a lossless, and reversible, type of compression. RAW files are roughly one-third the size of equivalent TIFF files. They can only be read by Canon's included software, but they can be losslessly converted and saved as TIFF files by your computer.

For those uninterested or uneducated in the more detailed mechanics of photography, the G1 can function like a point-and-shoot, automatically taking care of virtually every setting. If, however, you're more interested in setting the camera's functions manually, the G1 is perfectly willing to accept your commands, allowing control over every function on the camera. ISO can be set at speeds of 50, 100, 200, and 400, and the G1 also features aperture and shutter priority modes. Manual focus can be used, although Canon only recommends using it in tricky focus situations. AE/AF lock allows you to set exposure and focus setting for a given scene, letting you recompose and shoot without losing time. Other shooting modes include flash-exposure compensation; programmed control zones (portrait, landscape, etc.); movie mode; and slow shutter-speed mode, which opens the shutter for long periods of time in low-light situations and applies noise reduction. Auto-exposure bracketing takes three pictures, intentionally over- and under-exposing the two extra shots to help capture the best picture possible. The G1 has five different flash modes, including red-eye reduction, and is compatible with all Canon EX-series Speedlite flashes. A macro mode rounds out the package.

No digital camera is complete without an LCD monitor, and here the G1 shines as well. The 1.8-inch color monitor sits on a swivel mount. The monitor rotates on two axes, flipping out to rest on the same plane as the back of the camera, and also rotates up to 270 degrees. This versatility lets you view your shot from almost any angle or around corners; you can even see yourself while you're taking a self-portrait. Best of all, because the G1's monitor flips and swivels, you can store the camera with the monitor screen nestled safely against the body of the camera, protecting it from any scratches. The G1 comes with a USB port and cable, battery and AC adapter, 16 MB CompactFlash card, software, lens cap, and neck strap. For people with older systems, there is also a serial port, but PC and Mac serial cables are sold separately.

Customer Reviews:

This camera is more than 99% of photographers need.......2003-10-27

I looked forever for a new camera to replace my pentax EI-200, which works perfectly fine, but I wanted a new one. I bought a G1 used for @300 dollars based upon exhaustive research. 3mp, fold out lcd screen, unlimited manual control(lots of modes +full manual and manual focus), raw format(better and smaller than tiff) attracted me. What really turned out to be great was the battery life(lasts a long long time), remote, picture quality, the screen is fantastic- I don't know how I did without it. With photoshop and an epson printer, why spend hundreds more on a tiny no featured camera with more megapixels than you would ever need? why spend hours downloading pics so you can print only 3x5's or 5x7's. This prints beautiful 8x10's. You don't need more. Movie's with sound too.
By this camera and a 256 meg compact flash card. you will not be sorry.

The all-in-one that won't let you down........2003-01-16

Beyond the fact that this camera has accomplished everything it set out to do, the powershot G1 is just the pinnacle of camera technology bundled into a package that most middle market people can afford.

To give you some piece of information that is helpful; stuff you might not hear about elsewhere i'll list a few attributes from the PowerShot G1.

1. The little cover which is the plug for the powersuply/usb connector is quite flimsy, but with some care won't break. Just have to watch out for it.

2. Get a decent Operating System like Windows 2000 that won't crash every two seconds with the use/development of the pictures on-line. I have a Pentium III 600 with 8mb video card and windows 98 Sec edition, and that thing would not handle the Canon ZoomBrowser Product that came with the camera. However i got windows 2000 loaded with a new 32Mb NVIDIA Video Card, and now the thing is yet to crash... SO smoothe... I forgive it...

3. Don't be fooled with the 16Mb FlashCard (Give it to the kids to use as a coaster for their toy tea-pot set, because it has no other use). Go out, budget an extra card (i.e. 128 or 1GB Microdrive) its so much more worth it to get the extra space and keep your setting to LARGE (SUPERFINE QUALITY) because the quality of that print is so superior to its counterpart digital 3+MEGAPIXEL cameras'...

The petty downsides are very very nitpicky, and you will find these "issues" on 90% of camera's... Some cameras will have a set of features, but lack in others... While others have different features, but lack in others as well... The Powershot G1 has all the features you can ask for. A quick List of Pluses (just to be fair because i talked about the minuses)

1. The Optical Zoom is quick and provides VERY high quality shots. (Not to mention that the Additional Lenses you can buy will bring you so close to the action you'll need to buy cheaper seats to get further away from the action) (Sitting at glass level at a hockey game, i can get a photo of a Goalie from head to toe, with about 2 inches in top and bottom of image with the 1.5x lens)...

2.The LCD flips out, allows for weird angled camera manipulation, (in a crowd, or under things etc..) You can put the camera anywhere at arms length to take very unique photos. It also closes face-in to prevent scratching between shoots... LCD high quality, and feels really sturdy.

3.It has the capability of a HUGE SLR/DIGITAL camera all in a small package. Slightly heavy but Very small for its power. People will see you with this thing, and think you have some 80 dollar camera, when it really has capabilities beyond the intermediate camera enthusiast.

4.Interface/Menus are easy to work with.

5. Taking a picture, loading it to the on-line software, touching up, and presenting (email/website) takes LITERALLY less than a minute. (provied you are near your computer)...

6. Expandability is amazing. It is FLASH 1 AND 2 compatible (if you don't know what that is; check it out because that is an important part of a digicam)... (very good quality) this means its compatible with IBM's Microdrives, and Normal Flash Cards...

7. Litium Rechargable bateries are absolutly amazing. I have a 128mb, 192mb, and 64mb FC card, along with the provided 16Mb card, and i filled them all up at a bruins game (about 200 pics), and the batery icon just began to show some degredation. The only reason you might need an extra battery is if you are on lengthy vacations AWAY from powersources... this also leaves room for improvement, you can get stuff like the "car outlet" reacharge station (which charges two at a time) or use the provided "regular power source" to recharge them...

8. I could go on... but email me for about question you have...

Overall, i'm very happy with the camera. I've had it for 6 months, and have never been disatisfied. I might add that to get the highest quality from the photos, (if you print your own) make sure you understand about DPI. I tried printing some of my shots (and was somewhat disapointed) but found out that i had set my dpi to 72 on the images i had... When i set it over 300dpi, i was absolutly amazed! And you will be too.

_____
I've added this part, because it has been a year since i wrote this original review.

Note only this change:
There are two newer version of this camera out (As you probably know): The Powershot G2, and G3. If i were in the market today for a Digital Camera, (after seeing, and reading what i have) i would try to find a deal for a G1, or G2. The Newer versions (G2, and G3) don't have enough "extra" or "more" or "additions" to warrant the extra cost. New versions should only drive the old versions price down. I'd say the G1 would be a steal at 400-500 bucks. See if you can find a NEW G1, and make sure its a reliable source, and i'll tell you, you can't go wrong. :)

nice pictures,poor switch design.......2002-10-16

I have owned this camera for over a year and have shot lots of images. I really like the image quality and flexibility of use.Unfortunately the on/off camera mode switch is prone to turning on when stored in a bag or pocket. Also when the camera is turned on if you are not careful you can change from Auto to another mode without realizing it. Otherwise a fine product.

nice pictures,poor switch design.......2002-10-16

An Excellent Camera.......2002-09-03

The Canon Powershot G1 digital camera is an excellent camera overall. However, considering how long it's been on the market, you'd think it's cost would be lower. This camera has many factory configured settings that will enable even the beginning photographer to take exceptionally clean images. Also, you can choose from many aperture and speed settings should you want to set these manually (highly recommended). There is also a manual focus capability. I recommend this camera for beginners that want to learn photography and then be able to take the camera along when they move on to the intermediate level. There are many third-party accessories (lenses, adapters, filters) available for this camera. For instance, using macro lenses and a couple of adapters on my G1 I am able to capture all of the color slide pictures and print negatives in my teaching collection. I have been able to transfer my slide teaching presentations to PowerPoint presentations.
The G1 is eay to use, very reliable, and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to learn how to use it. I recommend purchasing a higher power battery and a high capacity (>128MB) compact flash memory card (Lexar is very good) that has a high data transfer rate (12x-24x). I've owned the camera for over a year and have taken into the field many times without a hitch.

Product Description

We all strive for perfection, but it's always just out of reach. That's not the case with the Epson Perfection 1250 Photo scanner. The Perfection 1250 Photo model includes a 35mm slide adapter unit for scanning negatives and slides. Compatible with both PCs and Macs, the Epson also has a combination of hardware extras and useful software to handle all of the scanning tasks you throw at it.The 4-by-5-inch slide adapter comes with two film holders to block extraneous light and keep the media square on the glass. With 1,200dpi optical resolution and 48-bit color, the Perfection captures every detail in photos, slides, and photo negatives. And one-touch buttons let you use the scanner like a copier, attach photos to e-mail, or upload images to the Web. Epson provides two software interfaces for the scanner: a simple interface for beginners and an advanced interface for power users. The Epson Smart Panel includes all the functions of the one-touch buttons, as well as timesaving functions such as Scan To OCR, Scan To Application, and Scan To File. The advanced interface gives experienced users more control over scanning. With it, you can quickly preview images and change options such as resolution, pixel depth, gamma, and exposure.

Amazon.com Product Description

With outstanding precision and a small footprint, the Epson Perfection 1250 Photo provides excellent value for the serious imaging hobbyist. Connecting to both Macintosh and PC systems via a USB hub, setup takes just a few moments, so you'll be loading those photos on the Web in no time. Plus, the 1250 Photo comes with a 35mm slide adapter, so it makes a great accessory for your digital darkroom.

Four one-touch buttons allow you to quickly copy, scan, print, or e-mail your images. The rich 48-bit color and high 1,200 x 2,400 dpi resolution that are usually found in higher-end scanners keep your photos, negatives, and slides looking their best.

The built-in zoom feature provides a range of 50 to 200 percent, supplying plenty of options for enlarging or cropping your final prints. A cold cathode ray lamp is used as the light source, a powerful and economical choice that combines plenty of light with long-lasting efficiency. Maximum scan size is 8.5 x 11 inches, large enough for office documents as well as your family photos.

Included in the box are the slide adapter and a USB cable and a software bundle that includes Epson TWAIN and several image editing and processing programs. Epson provides a one-year warranty that covers parts and labor.

What to buy?.......2004-04-23

When you walk into the computer store and look at the displays, and sales literature, are you left as confused as I am? Reading reviews is the same. Some 5 stars and some P'off people. It seems as if doing your homework only makes you feel good when you initially and "confidently" plunk down your money. When you get home and plug it in, your homework may or may not pay off. Reminds me of the Cabela's catalog for hunters and fishermen. There must be at least 50 pages of camoflage clothing. If you really want such an item, you'll probably buy it from them because, after all--"they have such a selection" (and they've confused me) so I'll put my finger down somewhere and just buy it. HP, Epson, Canon, and others are the same way. Their strategy is to create a proliferation of products that take up shelf space and the consumer will have to buy something. Why don't they spend their efforts making fewer models and better products? Because we the consumer are used to having 14 brands and styles of peanut butter to choose from (and even more would be better, right?) Any ideas out there on how to put some sanity into the process?

Two major problems with this scanner.......2004-03-27

My first scanner was an Epson 600, but when I made the jump to Win2K, there was no driver for it so I bought the Epson Perfection 1250. Alas, it was not as good a scanner. The two main problems are:
- The control panel pops up randomly, something for which there is no fix apparently.
- After 10-15 minutes, the computer has to be rebooted to find the scanner if is has been inactive. If the scanner is unplugged to force a rescan of the USB port, the PC crashes.

It is also very slow and the software that comes with it is not even close to being as good as the package that came with the 600.

Other reviews cite an attachment that helps scan slides but, alas, that did not come with my scanner. On the other hand, the dust under the glass noted in other reviews has not been a problem.

crappy scanner.......2004-01-30

I have the scanner for almost 1,5 years now. When I used the Epson perfection 1250 in the beginning on my completly new AMD athlon 1800+ XP machine, I was astonished about the good quality of the images but also the speed with which they were produced....but after a 8 months or so......the machine produced images of a quite different quality I was used to.

Now it is like this: The first 5 images are always crap!....the first 5 produced scans always have a sort of dark red / orange transparant film over them. After 10 images the organge film / layer changes to a more yellow like transparant film. After about 15 images the left side of the scanned image has the appearance it has to have ...but the right of the image is still covered with a yellow film.....I am really p. off.

I have asked for technical help at the Epson customer service (it really isn't what the name suggests it is)....but basicly it was my problem and my scanner was just used up.....HELLO....I've HARDLY USED THE D*MNED THING

conclusion after this on time affair with an EPSON product:
NO MORE EPSON FOR ME!

A tad slow, BUT ............2004-01-08

I like this scanner, esp. when compared to others I have owned or used (Mustek, HP, Acer). My only complaint is the warm up time it requires. The output, though, is excellent amd the detail in my images is great. Think my future scanner purchases will also be Epsons!

You get what you pay for.......2003-12-11

I've had one of these scanners for about six months now, and I absolutely hate it. I'm going to buy a different one simply because I'm about to throw this scanner through the window. There's a myriad of problems to talk about, that some of the other users who wrote after having the scanner for a few days probably haven't run into yet.

1. Several people mentioned that the scanner software suddely starts on it's own out of nowhere. It just happens at random times. Even worse, sometimes this crashes other programs you might be running at the time. I have to keep the scanner unplugged to prevent this from happening.

2. The software is buggy. You better save your pictures after 2 or 3 scans, because it's very likely the software will hang, and you'll lose all the pictures you've scanned in since you last saved.

3. It's slow. Don't expect to scan more than about 15 pictures an hour. Of course when the software crashes after you've scanned in 5 pictures, this adds insult to injury.

4. If you leave the scanner on for awhile, it hangs and has to be restarted by unplugging it and plugging back in.

5. This leads me to talk about the other annoyance. There is no on/off button. What's the deal here, in 2003 we don't need an on/off button? Would an off button have added $5 to the price or something? There's no way to turn the scanner off by software either. Only solution is to put the darn thing on it's own powerstrip.

Do I sound irritated at this scanner? Do yourself a favor, don't buy it. Or at least take the money you've have to spend on a powerstrip, and put it toward a better scanner.

Very compact ........2006-07-31

Great binoculars for their size. Case supplied is a little cheap/poor fit. Overall, a good buy

Great value.......2001-01-02

I've had no problems with these binoculars whatsoever. Once the lenses are adjusted to each eye (all decent binoculars have this feature, a lot of people overlook it) the views are outstanding and crystal clear with excellent brightness. The rain/fogproof claim is a good one, I've taken them through heavey snow and rain and they've performed great.
