Hi all,

Canon has 3 type of PowerShot series.
Which is the "A" "G" and "S".

Wondering wht's the different between this two.
Of case,

1) is the Size
2) Zoom
3) Design
etc etc....

But how about the quality? the features?
Can anyone please help to advice me on this??

Let's try not to compare the Camera Model.
Focus on the difference of the Series
Thank you

just go to the canon website.
both are semi pro

it depends what u want.. generally, most people prefer the s3is
G7's image quality is superb. it has 6x optical zoom
its built quality is superior. but personally, i think its too expensive(for a non dslr camera)

s3 has superior zoom (12 x) a excellent movie mode, packed with features and i think its a better bargain..
just my thoughts.

G Series would be Prosumer model and superb Digic processor

S Series i think ordinary P & S DC only

nice explanation g88 !
thumbs up!

both of them are prosumer cameras
s3is not a normal p+s camera
g7 does have DIGIC III while s3is uses DIGIC II
but note that s5is will use the DIGIC III imaging processor

hi all,

Really appreciate for your advice on this...
We should not discuss on the Type of series, not the camera model.

Let me correct my statement above.
And not forget include the "A" series too

Please help continue with the discuss

ok
A series.... can have 3-6 times optical zoom
takes AA batteries. good P+S camera
special modes available for some models
great bargain for most models. its bigger than compact cameras but still small enough to fit in pocket. a in between type of camera
A640 10 Mp plus articulated lcd is a great camera. A710 is also a great camera with IS.

G series. Those who want manual control without buying a DSLR camera.
produce great images. 6 times optical zoom and 10 MP. great camera with hefty price tag too. not as good as a dslr but still king among the non dslr.
camera ; G7

S series
ultrazoom camera. 12 x optical zoom. have manual control and made easy due to dedicated buttons. S3is has 6 mp while the up coming s5is will have 8mp plus hotshoe. Articulated LCD so u can swivel it. comes with IS and a quiet zoom. Great movie mode too but not advisable if u want poster size images.
camera :S3is

just my thoughts... i dont mind suggestions and criticisms.
