That is a great price for a great camera.
Forget G3/G5, for this price (G2) is a steal !

How many times has this question been asked ?
Canon G series will always be better than their S series counterpart.
With compactness comes certain sacrifices.

1280x1024? I don't think it takes pics at that resolution. However at 1600x1200 it will hold almost 450.

G2 is already discontinued right? I guess they're trying to sell off remaining stock...

Probably best to delete that. Coupon codes are not allowed on anandtech.

that's not totally true. take it with a grain of salt.
look for example at the canon s40. it has faster startup time than the g2. also switching between play and record. smaller cameras are better at some things. (startup time is like how fast from turning it on you can shoot)

The link for the Canon G2 is not working, and the G2 is missing from their site it seems. Just a heads up...

Hmm well search finds it but the link doesn't work :confused:.

We are talking about picture quality here.
Compact P&S is design for certain things.
Granted the picture quality has gone up but it still have to cut some corners to achieve that size.
The advantages that S400 has over G2 has nothing to do with fetures & quality.
There is a reason why the G series cost more than S series.
They can get more shot where the compact S series can only dream of.
Not to slam on S400 but that is just the fact.
