Pre-Photokina
2002, 0600 GMT: Canon has today announced the PowerShot G3. This new
digital camera appears go slightly further than the typical 'product refresh'
we've seen recently. The G3 now has a 'proper' hand grip with a rubber
finger edge, a new body design, command wheel and an all new 4x F2.0 -
F3.0 optical zoom lens with a bayonet fitting optional thread adapter.
It maintains all of the G2's functionality but adds some of the new features
also introduced to the S45 (DIGIC processor, FlexiZone AF/AE, Custom exposure
mode, etc.) Expected street price: US: $799, EU: €999.
UPDATE: Other sites post previews from pre-production G3's. Canon BeBit
post sample images.
