Best for
A heritage Canon enthusiast compact - the G-series was Canon's premium non-interchangeable-lens line. The 5MP CCD sensor delivers characterful colour that some photographers specifically seek out today. Vari-angle LCD and fully manual controls. Useable for everyday photos; image quality is clearly dated.
