Canon Powershot G2 digicam w/ 4 MP CCD sensor; includes 256MB CF card + 2 batteries w/ charger + original box, manuals & accessories
The Canon Powershot G2, from 2001, was an early prosumer digicam. Although its native resolution of 4 megapixels is quite small by today's standards, its superb and fast lens (34-102mm f2-2.4; 35mm equivalent) and CCD sensor quality give it better overall image quality than many later digicams with much larger megapixel counts, especially when using the camera's RAW files (see example images below).
The G2 features a more sophisticated shutter than most digicams and a hot-shoe which permits the use of large speedlights or off-camera strobes (it's worth mentioning that the built-in flash is quite powerful for digicam).
What's included
- Canon PowerShot G2 digicam
- 256 CF card
- Remote control
- Charger/AC adapter (it's possible to keep the camera plugged in for log shooting sessions).
- 2 x Canon Li-ion battery packs (these batteries seem to charging but we strongly recommend buying a new battery pack for serious work; these are widely available and inexpensive types BP511 / BP508 / BP512 / BP514 are compatible).
- Lens cap
- Original box
- Original USB data cable
- Manuals
Condition notes
We tested this camera and it is working correctly. It is in good condition except for a cosmetic issue where part of the plastic on the memory card door chipped off (this doesn't affect the camera's functionality; see photo of the back of the camera to see this).
