Canon PowerShot G2 4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom

Amazon.com Product Description

Quite simply, the Canon PowerShot G2 is an elegant, easy-to-use joy of a digital camera that boasts impressive 4-megapixel resolution, a 3x optical zoom, a bright LCD monitor that swivels off to the side of the camera and tilts up and down as needed, and maximum overall creative control in addition to a fully automatic mode. Of course, none of this comes as much of a surprise to anyone familiar with its popular predecessor, the PowerShot G1. Both of these cameras have features and picture-taking modes similar to Canon's EOS cameras, which means they have what Canon calls a "very camera-like feel." Some of the G2's more obvious improvements over the G1 (besides higher resolution) include a champagne gold finish, larger grip for easier handling, improved image and color quality, new photo-effect shooting mode for various effects, including black-and-white and sepia, and a new high-speed selectable three-point autofocus.

The G2's 4-megapixel CCD captures images at user-selectable resolutions of 2,272 x 1,704, 1,600 x 1,200, 1,024 x 768, and 640 x 480. This range allows for detail-rich 8-by-10-inch prints that match the results of film cameras as well as easy-to-upload images for the Web and e-mail. Choose between three varying degrees of JPEG compression or store images in the 10-bit RAW data file format for faster transfer without any image quality loss. Your computer easily translates the RAW files into TIFF files using Canon's included software.

The telescoping, 3x optical zoom lens (34-102mm equivalent on a 35mm camera) with 3.6x digital zoom, offers both automatic and manual focus control. The improved, high-speed, selectable three-point autofocus system allows flexibility in composition over the single focus point of the G1. A distance scale has been added on the LCD monitor for precision focus adjustment that works best for extreme close-ups. Improved circuitry allows the G2 to perform these advanced functions with faster image capture times and longer battery life than the G1.

Like the G1, the G2 has point-and-shoot settings that take the guesswork out of almost all situations, but the manual controls and creative options are where this camera stands out from the competition. Twelve EOS-style shooting modes allow for a wide range of creative possibilities, with manual focus zoom, adjustable aperture priority at 50, 100, 200, and 400 ISO, selectable shutter speed, and six preset white balances--sunny, cloudy, tungsten, etc. Canon has provided four presets for professional results when shooting for maximum depth of field, portraits, landscapes, and night scenes. Other creative controls include the photo-effect mode that allows four possible variations of the normal color saturation: vivid color, standard color, sepia tones, and standard black-and-white.

Two video formats have also been included, allowing for 30 and 120 seconds of moving images with audio. Slow shutter-speed mode allows extended exposures in low-light situations. Autoexposure bracketing allows you to intentionally over- and underexpose two extra shots to help capture the best picture possible. Five different flash modes, including red-eye reduction, handle after-dark challenges. The TTL hot shoe is fully compatible with all Canon EX-series Speedlite flashes. The included software package goes beyond standard image processing with a remote capture function that allows complete control and manipulation of the camera functions from your computer keyboard. Canon's Stitch Assist program allows you to combine up to four images into one, seamless, panoramic view.

Exterior design features include the highly versatile LCD monitor from the G1 that needs no improvement; its 270-degree rotation allows all angles of image composition from around corners to self-portraits. Changes in ergonomics, as requested by the users of the G1, include a contoured grip for better one-handed shooting and a more streamlined look. Photographers new to the digital market will find the G2 as easy to use as previous PowerShot models, while professionals will be pleased with the improved selection of creative options for capturing the best possible images.

The G2 comes complete with USB port and cable for connection to PC or Macintosh computers; Canon's digital camera software package for downloading, processing, and organizing your images; a NTSC cable for connecting to a television set; a rechargeable BP-511 lithium-ion battery pack and AC adapter for charging the battery in the camera; a generous 32 MB CompactFlash card; infrared remote control; lens cap; and neck strap. The camera weighs about 14.8 ounces, and its dimensions are 4.8(W) by 3.0(H) by 2.5(D) inches.

The best digital camera at a great price!!!.......2007-03-08

I've had my Canon G2 for four years and it still takes simply Gorgeous pictures. People ask me if my pictures on the wall was from a studio. I tell them I shot them with my Canon. Crisp and super clear pictures. Easy to use. The best find!! Love it!!!!! Even when you enlarge to 10x15. The clarity is still perfect...

This is a very sturdy, semi-pro - Excellent Camera........2006-03-26

This is the kind of camera that is a joy to use and explore. I have been using this along with a Digital SLR for about 3-4 years now and it still works great. I must have shot over 10000 shots using this camera with most shots being exceptional. The lens is fantastic, build is rugged, battery life is exceptional. This is a classic camera worth keeping for many years. For an avid photographer, the Powershot 'G' series is a good camera to have along with an SLR.

A masterpiece of a digital camera.......2006-02-17

I've had this camera since April 2003, and it has been one of the best electronics purchases that I have made. I've taken about 5,000 shots with this camera to date, and the image quality with all of them is outstanding, even by today's standards.

This camera is capable of producing images up to 11x14 inches without noticeable image grainyness. The F2.0 lens is superb and produces super sharp images. The features are fantastic. The panorama mode is something I use a lot more that I thought I would and produces stunning, seamless panoramas which could easily pass as gallery prints.

If you can still find this camera, purchase it! You will not be sorry.

G2 in simple words.......2005-09-20

The G2 is a special camera. I bought it after 3 months of research in December 2002. It was a time when Canon had fixed all previous issues with the G1 and was improving on G2 to release the G3. I wanted a digital camera that can be used as a point and shoot one and also some advanced features for me to do some pro kind of photography and guess what I concluded and bought... the G2 After having it for more than 2 years, I think I can write a reasonable review of it. It is a simple advanced camera !!! Sounds like an oxymoron, but it really is that. It is simple enough that an average Point and shoot person can use it and advanced enough that a pro can do some good shots with it. It has enough options in the preset modes to give a quick nice picture in each of those modes and also has a set of manual features for more creativity. The pictures are clean, crisp and nice. It has the largest lens compared to any camera in that segment. The software that comes along with the box is good value for money & sophisticated. I do not have to list the long line of features that this camera gives for such a small price
Some of the negative things I find in this camera are
1. Is heavy and is a little oversize to be carried in the pocket
2. The operations like switch on, switch off, writing image to disk and few other actions are a little slow.
3. The flash recharge is also slow.
If you are a beginner or just want a simple easy to use point and shoot camera, don't buy it. If you are pro and want an advanced camera for professional shots, don't buy it. If you are inbetween, then this camera is for YOU.

Otherwise, is a great camera, love it and I think I have already taken my investment out of the camera, but looks like this just the beginning !!!

Great all around camera.......2005-04-02

This was our first digital camera. Very easy to use, useful features, and high quality photos. Definitely a good deal.

Amazon.com Product Description

The IW6S in-wall speakers from AudioSource are designed to accurately reproduce music from today's demanding digital signals. In-wall speakers are designed so that the wall and the space behind it actually become the speaker cabinet; as such, the speaker depth is only 3 inches. Mounted flush to the wall, they require absolutely no floor space. This discrete, compact format is ideal for applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible--or simply unsightly.

In-wall speakers may be used independently where space is a consideration, or to bring music from your living-room system to additional rooms in the house. They handle amplifier loads up to 75 watts per channel, and can also be used to enhance and enrich subwoofer and surround-sound systems, for which they are especially well suited when mounted just behind and on either side of your home-theater listening area.

The speakers feature 6.5-inch polypropylene woofers with long-life butyl rubber surrounds. Moisture-resistant, swivel-mounted 1-inch tweeters grant placement flexibility, as the tweeters can be directed as you choose.

The speaker terminals will accommodate up to 16-gauge speaker wire, which should be used for longer connections (greater than 50 feet of wire). For shorter distances, 18- or 20-gauge speaker wire will be adequate. AudioSource's solid dogleg mounting system simplifies installation, and you may paint the metal speaker grilles, as well as the frames, to match any room.

What's in the Box
Two speakers, mounting template (for wall cutting), paintable metal grilles, a user's manual.

Yes, box it in for base.......2007-03-01

I installed these as surround right and left in the basement home theater drop ceiling - they were light enough to require minimal support besides the tiles, boxed in the cavity for extra base. Template was spot-on, everything sounds great. Still need a sub-woofer, though. Used IW8S for the fronts for a little extra oooomph.

Much better than TV Speakers.......2006-03-21

I have two connected to the speaker outs from my Panasonic professional 42" Plasma TH-42PWD8UK. They installed very easily and sound pretty good driven by the 8 watt per channel output from my TV. They get much louder than my wife will let me listen to, and music sounds very good. I thought they would have more bass, but it really isn't noticeable watching most broadcaset TV. If I upgrade to 5.1, i'll buy three more of these. Painted the wall color they are certainly visible, since the bezel around the speaker is 1/8 inch thick, and lights case a shadow. I am very happy with them (and my wife is happy with the price).

Good speakers.......2005-09-16

Good speakers for the price. Easy installation, paintable surfaces to match wall color. I would buy this product again if needed.

Good Product, Bad Info........2005-09-02

I ordered these speakers to replace existing ones. I tried to be very careful about ordering them because I needed them to replace existing speakings in existing wholes. The specifications of the speakers indicated that they were the exact match for the current ones. However, when I received them, the frames holding the speakers was too big for the current space and I had to return them. I'll try again later...

Right for the price.......2005-04-10

We installed these speakers in the living room and dining room of our new home. Install was a snap, and the speakers are great for ambient music. Our builder offered the same speakers through their installer at about twice the price.

If you're looking for VERY LOW priced speakers for nice background music, these are a perfect choice (and much better than the smaller Audio Source speakers). In response to some other reviews, if you're looking for something with lots of bass, then why are you considering a low cost in wall speaker?
