The fact that the G1 uses the fantastic line of EX Canon Electronic flash units tipped the scales for us. Serious pro results can only be achieved in low ambient light situations by using off camera lighting. I have used the G1 most of the time with the 420EX Canon flash in full automatic. Very easy to get great results right from the start. The Canon G1 is the best digital camera I have found under in the 3.3 mega pixel rang.
Colors are true and images are sharp, very sharp.
I had been resistant to digital photography. I will say that this camera impressed me with ease of use, quality of photos and range of capabilites. Got two great shots of Golden Gate bridge partially shrouded in fog and some other impressive shots. ZD Inc. ZDNet Logo is a service mark of ZD Inc.
