The Canon PowerShot S2 IS was last year's most popular monster zoom digicam because its fast image stabilized 12X USM zoom, best in class movie mode, compact SLR like body, and full manual controls dovetailed perfectly with the needs of a rapidly expanding prosumer market niche. Consumers who've...

I've been looking for the perfect compact camera, one that is small enough to easily carry but powerful enough to take excellent pictures. So far, the Canon PowerShot G7 comes close. The G7 is a buy; however, there is still room for improvement.
