The G2 is a big improvement on the G1, offering a refreshing new way to interact with the camera. It will serve the needs of the enthusiast photographer and the consumer shooter looking for a high quality, yet light weight digital photography solution.

The camera shows very good photo quality, above average battery life. It is packed with manual controls as well as with handy intelligent features. But sometimes it tends slightly underexpose and clip highlights and has just the average continuous shooting mode.
