Canon Enters 3.3 Million Pixel Fray


Canon PowerShot G1Canon's new PowerShot G1 is the company's first 3-million pixel consumer digital camera. Traditionally Canon looks before it leaps into a new product category. This premeditated delay allows Canon to digest what is right or wrong with a new technology before diving in. For photo enthusiasts, pros and hobbyists, the $999 G1 is well worth the wait.
Packing a 1/1.8-inch CCD with 3.34 million pixels, the PowerShot G1 is hard to beat for pure definition. Also featuring high-precision white balance control and using a Canon-developed digital signal processing IC, Canon has designed a digital camera that will allow you to take pictures clearer than you thought possible. $999. www.powershot.com/powershot2/G1/index.html
