hi, Got it from the canon 1st aniversary sale at Mega mall. It cost 2240, comes with 1gig + real leather casing (nice), simple casing, selphy bag, screen protector, crappy mini stand, sd card reader, canon neck strap, and most important extra 2 years warranty.

I have some shots of it but not sure how to put the pictures in here.

i believe the extra 2 years warranty and the leather case is really worth it. the other stuff that i got (mini tripod, sd card reader) not needed also okay..

im going to buy G7 this january if money permits. i really wanted to know what is these ISOs? ISO 100, ISO 1600 blax blax blax. then, i'll use this G7 basically for macros, plus postcard images. yaaa... like post card we see in stores. look very nice. so that's what i want to do with my G7.

is G7 will be able to fulfill my todos, and will it remain relevant in what, 3 to 4 years after? so no need to upgrade or something. thanks & sorry for my ignorance and noobness.

the G7 reaches ISO 1600, but i do not use anything above 400, as the pictures get grainy. the macros function of the cam,era is good, focusses fast andthe images are clear.

As a tip; I have also tried the 710is, and it is also really good. you can look at it for your needs and better more it is 40% cheaper than the G7

i've looking around for a digicam...
eyeing on 850is and G7.
900ti outta my list cause no IS.sob..

try out 3 of them yesterday at some shopping mall...
wana ask for some advice from u guys..

does it worth the extra bucks to go for a G7??

well, of course, i found tat G7 built quality, pic quality are much better than Ixus range. but it came in a slight bulky size. and of course good control over more features.

Ixus are known for most easy carry around with point n shoot with the small size.but kinda filmsy battery door, buttons and nothign much can play with except keep taking pic.

BTW, i'm too curious, how many pic it can take with a full charge of battery for both G7 & 850IS?

if u plan to dabble into some "serious" photography, the G7 will be a better buy compared to the ixus.

like what eye said, the G7 will be a more usefull device should you suddenly go up a notch or two in your photography skills. It has more expandible options compared to any IXUS Range cam which was made for its 'chic' factor.

Yesterday I got my first chance to glimpse the G7 in the flesh and its impressive having all the capabilities yet maintaining it all in a small retro look body. The material has hints of a real SLR cam and the colour is bold.

If you have the dough and dun intend to venture into a DSLR soon, then this is a pretty good buy and will remain pretty up to date with technology for a good time to come. However, Like I said before, it would have been better if it had retained some features from the G6.

Take a look as CANON Powershot S3 IS for another option for purchase. Unless of course you're chasing for the newer DIGIC III Chip.

Good luck picking.
