Canon PowerShot G1 Digital Camera

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 the professional photographer, yet it retains an ease of use that will allow the 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 a 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 bets while shooting in questionable conditions. Meanwhile, a variable-angle LCD monitor and a convenient wireless remote allow you to take shots from difficult angles with ease. Whether you're a professional or just want to take professional-grade photos, the PowerShot G1 is the digital camera for you.

Features

High Quality Images
Canon knows that more is better, giving the PowerShot G1 an incredibly high pixel count to produce pictures of the highest resolution possible. Introducing a camera on the cutting edge of clarity! Packing a 1/1.8-inch CCD with 3.34 million pixels, the PowerShot G1 is hard to beat for pure definition. Also featuring high-precision white balance control and using a Canon-developed digital signal processing IC, we've designed a digital camera that will allow you to take pictures clearer than you thought possible.

Movie Recording and Playback
That's right! Sometimes a picture just isn't enough. So Canon allows you to capture up to thirty seconds of motion and sound and play it back on your G1 camera, a connected TV monitor or compatible PC! 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.
