| |  Canon G7
Hi I'm thinkig about puchasing a canon G7 and was wondering if anybody has got any feed back on this camera. I have a DSLR for wildlife photography with all the usual lenses for distance and macro etc, but I want a good all-round fixed lense camera that I can just grab and put in my sack whithout taking too much room up. I have checked all the usual consumer sites but I would like to hear from the real guys/girls on the ground and poss get the bad feed back if any, with the good. |

the g series are good cameras - Ive got a G4 which i use for macro photos when i cant be bothered to carry the big rig - the only drawback is that i have my doubts about the robustness of the swiveling screen - mine was s/h off ebay so its no biggie but i would be more cautious about it if splashing the cash on a new one
other models you could look at include the fuji F11 and the Panasonic FZ8 and TZ3

i have a G7 and its great, its no digital slr but it really does give you alot more control than a standard point and shoot, i bought it for the same reasons as you, something to carry round with me at all times that isnt too bulky or too hard to use. Ive found it a really usefull camera, especially when i go to concerts etc, because of the level of control you have selecting the aperture and shutter speed etc and the movie mode produces really good quality videos too. Over all a great camera and very very usefull as an alternative to a digital SLR |

Hi
I am in the same boat as you I keep looking at the G7 for more or less the same reasons ,
I also like it because it has a viewfinder which a must for me and not many compacts have this facility now days the one drawback is no RAW format which is something I really would like it to have .
I already Owen a Canon 350d and I am saving up for a Sigma 50-500 when I have this hopefully they will have brought out a G8 with RAW I am keeping my fingers crossed !
I have used the G7 for a few days " borrowed from a friend " and can not recommend it enough
loverly little camera and very flexible with it but it ain't got RAW DO YOU HEAR ME CANON

Hi guys, thanks very much for the input, it's really good to get other peoples perspectives. I shall definately check out the Fuji and the Panasonic as well. I never really thought about the RAW file either, not that it presents much of an obstacle really to me. Once again many thanks for your help/advice.  | | |
