Бюджетное решение для поездки.
I am just a regular person that wanted to upgrade my camera. I am not a professional photographer. I wanted a decent camera that I can take family, nature, pet and vacation photos but it also needed to take great macro (close ups) to photograph the beadwork that I make and sell online through photos of my work. I read everything I could about available cameras in the price range I was looking to spend, comparing features, reviews and reading photography blogs for weeks and weeks. I bought this Canon G15 and couldn't be happier.My priorities when searching were as follows - in no particular orderMust be lightweight and fairly smallable to drop in my pocketbook (I keep it in a neoprene pouch)no lense cover to fumble withmust shoot manual (I really want to learn)Good Macroquality image stabilizerViewfinder (Very handy in full sun)Quality lens (always worth extra $)good zoom (many are longer but quality extended is poor on a lot of them)good in low light (Not always able to use flash & range on most regular cameras is not that great for indoor use)3" screenarticulated screen (boo, does not have this)FAST shooting (toddler grandson)dedicated video button(baseball playing 8 yr. old grandson)Built in manual flash (I learned while researching that it is better to have manual so that you can decide for yourself, but the camera will rec. when to open the flash)So with this Canon G15, I got everything except the articulated screen. This camera is AMAZING! My husband, who has never been into taking pix has even been enjoying taking photos with this. We just went on vacation and both enjoyed playing with this camera so much. I took amazing sunrises and sunsets. My husband took shots of the moon reflecting on the ocean that are stunning, with the camera (very easily) set to handheld night scene. I took great videos of the little guy toddling around in the surf for the 1st time and the 8 yr. old running, playing and doing flips on the beach. (Glad I insisted on a camera with a viewfinder for these beach videos)We took night shots of all the children piled in the lifeguards chair that came out wonderful. We went to a botanical garden and photographed bald eagles in trees and the zoom was fantastic, very crisp even fully extended. At the same garden we took close ups of a dragonfly that look professional. Last night we took video of our calico cat chasing her tail, so cute! Our all black cat was always difficult to photograph with my old $125.00 Sony,the photos I took of him with this camera took my breath away, so beautiful, every whisker and hair clearly defined. The macro is fantastic! Close ups of my beadwork are stunning and colors are very close to true. Much less editing work to do with the photos I'm taking with this. Quick shots of "what I'm working on today" to post to social media are plenty good enough to just upload with no editing at all. On our trip I took photos from my car window of the NYC skyline and other sites along the way while my hubby was driving 65 mph and they are perfectly clear. NOTE: All of the above mentioned were done with the camera set to auto - I have not learned how to use the manual controls yet. I should mention that the G15 also shoots in RAW as well as JPEG format. Although I don't know to much about RAW yet, I have been told over and over when trying to get the best photos of my beaded jewelry that I should learn to shoot in RAW. So I'm hoping to learn about that down the road.This camera is lightweight and yet it feels very solid in my hand. It fits my husbands hand well too. (So many are too tiny for his fingers to use) It's small and lightweight enough to keep it with me in my everyday life. I love not having to fuss with a lense cap. A cap makes it tougher to just throw the camera in a pocket or bag. I have the camera with me at all times in this small neoprene and velcro pouch B001EWEB3U that I throw in my pocketbook or my hubby drops in in a cargo pocket or clips it to him with one of those rock climbing clips. This case just fits the camera, nothing else.Although I have not counted how many photos the camera took on one battery charge. I will say that a full day of shooting everything in sight and charging at night worked fine for us. The battery charges in a couple of hours. I did purchase this 2 battery and AC/car charger combo pack that I'm pleased with. B006ZNBILG Always nice to have a back up battery handy and the ability to charge in the car is nice too.I bought the EyeFi Pro2 card. My photos transfer instantly to my phone and PC to share within minutes on facebook, instagram, text message, my website etc. If you share your photos on social media or text photos a lot BUY THIS CARD or a comparable one - the faster the better. People in other reviews mentioned seeing the display with the tiny hand that says busy & you need to wait to take your next photo. The faster your SD card the less likely that you will see that and need to wait. I have only seen it a few times in th
Shopping for a new digital camera was one of the most challenging endeavors I've had to make into the consumer electronics world.After weeks of research, I was torn between two models: The Canon G15 and the Panansonic FZ200. When the price of the FZ200 actually dropped to the same neighborhood as the G15, it made the decision all the more difficult. However, in the end, I just really liked the Canon. I finally bit the bullet about three weeks ago and bought the Powershot.This is the first camera we've ever had that cost more than $200. Our previous was a basic Panasonic Lumix TZ4.Neither my wife nor myself have any basic photography knowledge. I was looking for a camera that was beginner friendly, while still offering advanced manual controls to satisfy the experts, with superior build quality and feel, and portability. Of all the cameras I researched, the G15 seemed to offer the best combination of what we were looking for.My first impressions: This a serious, quality-made instrument. You get that "man, big-boy toys are so cool" moment when you handle it and feel that nice rough metallic finish and how it lays just right in your hand when you hold it (it doesn't hurt to see the "Made in Japan" label, either). It's got enough weight to convey that it packs a lot of electronic goodness inside...I do not find it to be heavy at all, as some pro reviewers complained about.This is the first camera I decided to actually sit down and learn how to use in Manual mode. So far, I can now begin to properly adjust Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO on the fly and in different lighting situations (I have yet to even think about the more advanced chroma controls, such as white balance).The G15 is great for a beginner like me. The control dials are metal, thick and have that satisfying "clickiness" to them. The two main dials are situated so that you can easily reach them with your thumb and/or forefinger and they adjust very nicely. You don't have to worry about flying past the desired setting because the flywheel is set too loose. I know G12 users complained about the lack of a dedicated manual ISO control but since I never had it, using the ISO button on the directional pad on the back of the camera works just fine. Manual focus is a bit of a pain, since you have to use up/down buttons to adjust but I don't use it enough for that to matter much and it actually does work well when I do need it.The LCD screen is a thing of beauty. It's made of dark glass that isn't too reflective at all, and it's very bright and with excellent contrast. In anything less than direct sunlight I have not had any problems seeing the screen. The other big complaint about this G series camera is the lack of an articulating screen and, to be honest, it did factor into my looking at other cameras. However, in the end, I figured I won't miss what I never had, and it was not a deciding factor for me. I do appreciate the size difference versus cameras that have the rotating screens.The optical viewfinder was also on my list, and I've tried it out but since the last optical viewfinder I used was on disposable 35mm's from Walgreen's from like 15 years ago, I don't have any complaints about this one.The zoom is very fast and the auto focus works quite well. I rarely have to set it manually. Also, Auto mode is great for my wife, as she just wants to "point and shoot" the family events most of the time.The thing I've been most impressed about this camera has been what, oddly enough, several "pro" reviews have complained about...low light shooting. I mean, it's PHENOMENAL to a beginner like me. Last night, it was dark out...I mean way beyond twilight, just a glimmer at the horizon type of scene...and I just bust out the G15, adjust some settings in Manual and I got great pics.Of course, I have yet to crop and print any photos and that is where most "pros" said you can see the low light deficiencies, but again, since I have nothing even close to the quality of this G15 to compare it to, I find it's low light performance to be absolutely impressive for a Point and Shoot.Details are also amazing on close ups. I took some pics of a cured flower bud and you can zoom in and see the little crystallized hairs on it! I took a pic of my red towel and zoomed in to see each individual fiber as well as the dust clinging to them.Battery life is good. I have yet to reach full discharge in anything less than two to three days of moderate to heavy use.Another big complaint from reviewers is the lack of manual control while shooting video. While I would certainly love to have that control, I don't find myself missing it so far. This camera takes very good 1080p videos, and they look great on my 60" 16:9 HDTV. Most modern TVs, including ours, can properly display 24fps content, so the lack of 60fps video shooting does not concern me.I use the mini HDMI to HDMI cable that came with my Kodak ZX3 to connect it to my home theater system to view photos or videos. You can also remo
If you have a specific need for a camera with outstanding low light performance then consider the G15. Film speed goes up to ISO 12800 and the lens is really 'fast', with an aperture of f1.8 at wide angle and f2.8 at full telephoto. The trade off is that this limits the optical zoom ratio to 5x. For a general purpose camera I'd consider a zoom of 12x to be the minimum.What made the G15 attractive to me? About half of my photos are taken in high school gyms at sports like volleyball and basketball. These present a real challenge: low light, relatively fast moving objects, and the need to change focus rapidly. On the other hand the size of the court is limited so you don't need a big zoom. The specs of the G15 appear to be well matched to these conditions. I've had a Canon Powershot S5 for the last 4 years which I love, and will be happy to keep it as my everyday camera, so for me the limited zoom of the G15 wasn't a deal killer.This could have been an outstanding camera, but I think that Canon made some poor design decisions, so before discussing how it performs, here are the things I don't like:1) The ergonomics leave something to be desired. I think they were aiming for a pocket camera and tried to make it too small. It just doesn't fall comfortably to hand. For my money it should be a good half inch wider and the right hand grip should be more deeply recessed. You can't hold it with just the middle two fingers hooked round the grip, but have to actively grip it with your thumb. On the other hand I really like the position of the wheel on the front right of the camera for setting exposure time or aperture (depending on shooting mode).2) What happened to the great tilt & swivel LCD display? They've replaced it with a 'cheap' flat-against-the-back screen. This was a REALLY BAD decision. You want to hold the camera over your head? You want to rest it on a waist-high rail or fence post? You want to hold it low down to get a pic of a flower from the side? Sorry, not with the G15.3) The first thing you'll probably want to do is get a protective UV filter. Unfortuneately the lens isn't threaded for a filter so you'll have to buy the adapter tube. But this will stick out the front and then camera won't fit in your pocket any more. At the time of writing the adapter tube didn't appear to be available yet in USA.4) If you don't get a filter then you'll want to get a lens cap to protect the flimsy (and in my experience easily damaged) iris diaphragm which it has instead. There is no provision for a lens cap, but you may be able to find one that fits. If not then look in your kitchen cupboard to see if you have a plastic screw top for a sauce jar that will do the job.5) Canon used to provide handy, pocket sized, printed user manuals. Now the manual comes on CD only so if you don't carry your computer around with you you may find this annoying.6) The 'ZoomBrowser' software which Canon used to provide has now been replaced by two separate programs: an Image Browser and an Image Editor. When I installed the software it asked for a home folder for the image browser. It then complained that the folder I specified contained too many pictures snf told me to go back and pick a folder with fewer - but it didn't provide any way to do that. I guess I won't be using the Image Browser. On the other hand the Image Editor looks pretty good, but I haven't explored it in detail yet.OK, so how does the camera perform?The day it was delivered I took it to a volleyball game in a gym where the fastest exposure time I'd been able to get with my Powershot S5 was 1/80 sec. I stepped the G15 through film speeds from 800 to 12800 ISO. At each speed I stepped through the range of exposure times, and at each exposure time took a couple of pictures at different zooms. I like the improvements they have made to the way settings are displayed on screen and controlled with the finger/thumb wheels.Frankly I was impressed. The camera focusses really quickly so that instead of having to follow one player and wait for the ball to go to them I was able to follow the play, point, and shoot. I got great pictures at exposures ranging from 1/125 to 1/1000 sec. and up to full zoom. My general rule of thumb for digital cameras is that graininess starts becoming an issue at film speeds above half of the maximum, and the G15 looks to be right in that ball park.I had a very specific need which the camera meets, but I think that misfeatures like taking away the swivel screen are likely to send a lot of potential customers looking elsewhere.
My entire review can be read at vegastriguy.com/amazon-miracles/It goes without saying that I probably spend about 80% of my disposable income via Costco and Amazon. Those two retailers have such permanent mind-share that whenever I have a purchase need, I think of Costco first and Amazon mostly second. No brainer.This past Sunday, December 22nd I completed a little side job and deposited some cash into my personal checking account so that I could eventually order a replacement camera on Monday. I was scheduled to take a friend to the airport at 5am and when I returned at 6am I placed my order.So, after many years of being a professional commercial and stock photographer, the economy and economics of maintaining my six-figure camera quiver had been whittled down to my smart phone and a PNS (point and shoot). I originally purchased a cool little Canon D10 that was waterproof and adventure tolerant. The shape of the camera was a little bulky so I upgraded to the new Canon D20. The sensor was much better and the the shape was more pocket friendly.I lost this camera by leaving it on the roof of my car in a remote area and as I recalled my error, I was 30 miles down the road. Upon return to the scene of my idiocy, the camera was long gone.So, after this last little job and with my previous research, I was 100% planning to purchase the Olympus TG-2. It looked sexy and just pretty much awesome for $329. On Amazon, the designated vendor was Samy's Camera in NYC. Not a fan and for no particular reason. But, since I was not really going through Amazon I visited the Adorama website. If I purchase camera gear outside of Amazon, I prefer B&H or Adorama. BTW, I had received a $50 gift certificate to Amazon which was influencing my final decision process. Adorama was offering overnight free shipping for the same price as the Amazon price via Samy's. I was JUST ABOUT to pull the trigger and then I went back and compared the specs of the Canon D20 and the Olympus TG-2. With the exception of the Olympus being much sexier and probably having a better bomb-proof rating, the actually camera specs were about the same as the Canon D20 for $100 less money. Mind you, all this comparative analysis is going on at 6am in the morning with 3 hours of sleep.I go back to the Amazon site and confirm the lesser price of the D20. I really did want to try a new camera but for an extra hundy? THEN, on the Amazon site it tells me if the order is placed by 9am, I am guaranteed same day delivery...that means like that same day!As far as a camera review, this is a great little camera...I always post-process my images in Adobe Bridge (I have a quick post-processing workflow) and with very little effort I get great shots. Low light and action shots are not it's strong point. Video and underwater shots are great. The newer shape (versus the D10) are easy to throw in a pocket or the back of my cycling jersey. This is one of those cameras that gets very little raves but really does a GREAT job in the under $300 range.
Wanting a small camera to carry around, I have tried several small point and shoot style cameras over the years. The latest one was a Nikon P7000. When I am deliberately doing a photo session, I like my DSLR's but they are heavy and bulky for everyday use, especially after adding a bunch of lenses.The problem with all of the P&S cameras is that I'm spoiled. I want the camera to take a photo when I push the button. My DSLRs do that, but all the small cameras take long enough that the photo opportunity is long gone. It's called shutter-lag and it is very frustrating. Even if I do a half-press to get the focus before the moment, they still take too long. But I decided to try again after reading all the reviews. Also I do want to adjust various parameters on occasion so I can throw a background out of focus, etc.The Canon G15 has proven to be the very best of all that I have tried. It has a very short lag-time even in low light. It allows me to control every parameter from ISO to shutter speed to aperture. Even more, it does some nifty things like a credible HDR, automatically. The icing on the cake is the f1.8 lens which coupled with a very capable image stabilization means taking photos in very low light without a flash. Of course the flash is available if needed, but it is rarely needed. Well--maybe the icing for me is that it shoots RAW format that I can use in Photoshop.The full HD video is extremely good and handy. Of course the built in microphones pick up a little camera noise as they do in any camcorder.The look and feel of the camera is excellent. Well, it is a Canon. Canon, Nikon and Pentax have been my cameras for more than 40 years. It feels hefty enough to hold steady even without the image stabilization and the grip is comfortable. Controls are placed where you would expect them. The optical viewfinder is not very useful, but we've gotten used to using the large screen to compose our images. (Reminds me of the days when I used a 4x5 Linhof.)This is almost as good as my D90 cameras--well only almost. But it is the best small camera I have found.Now the only con. I didn't buy it at Amazon. I bought at another on-line seller after a friend told me that they had a special price. I buy a lot of my purchases at Amazon and should have this one. Amazon price is slightly better. More important to me, about two days after placing my order, I received a call from the vendor salesman who "wanted to confirm the address." During the phone call, he tried to up-sell me on a special memory card for an additional $140 for an 8 GB card. He insisted that I could not get the full movie functionality without this high price card. I did not bite and he was lying through his teeth. There is no special card needed. The G15 works well with all the normal cards. That company will never sell me anything again.
I've been using Canon cameras since 1975, when I purchased my first, the Canon FTb SLR while a student at the New England School of Photography. I used that camera for over 30 years, until it became evident that film based cameras were on the way out. In between, I've used a few digital cameras, but have never been pleased with one until now. This latest offering from Canon provides a fairly large, high resolution screen that I find very easy to use. Unlike my previous cameras, I'm able to easily see what I'm photographing, even without glasses. The aperture setting, which opens to a maximum of F1.8, makes it a lot easier to photograph in lighting situations that are less than optimal. The results that I've obtained in dimly lit situations are far superior than in any of my previous cameras. The instruction book is easy to follow, and the camera itself has very intuitive menu features. I've photographed close-ups of small gold coins using both manual and automatic settings. While the auto focus feature works superbly in most situations, I found it a little bit difficult to use when shooting very small objects, such as the coins. Nonetheless, after experimenting for hours, I was able to get the technique down pretty well in auto focus mode. This was for experimental purposes only, as I enjoy the thrill of choosing my own settings, as I always did with my reliable friend, the Canon FTb. The camera is fairly thin and on the light side. While I realize that these are good features, it still takes me some time to get used to, as my old SLR felt sturdier, due to its heavy weight and proportions. I know that with time, the thinness and weight will be beneficial, as my hands aren't as strong as they used to be. The bottom line is that this is an outstanding camera, it's very easy to use, and it provides exceptional image quality. It has a superb wide angle to telephoto lens and has a very easy on the eye viewfinder. About the only negative I can think of, is that it's only 12.1 MP. In comparison to my older digital cameras, this is an upgrade, however it would have been nice to have 16 MP for those rare occasions when I want to make massive size prints. Since this is something I rarely do, all of the other positives of this camera far outweigh this minor inconvenience. This is a great digital camera, keeping the Canon tradition of high performance photography alive and well.
While I have yet to receive my Canon PowerShot D20, I have received the "Extended Warranty Policy" (SquareTrade.com) documents which I purchased with the camera. Since many underwater cameras often have a high rate of failure due to water leakage I opted for the extended warranty, just in case I had a problem within the first two years. Unfortunately, the policy expressly does NOT cover "water immersion"? What? This is an UNDERWATER CAMERA! Immersion is the whole point of buying one!Not only is immersion not covered but any "act of nature or any other peril originating from outside the product." is also expressly not covered. Is that sidewalk you just dropped it on outside the camera? Ok, the policy does say that dropping IS covered, so you can likely drop it and not worry, but since the camera is also shock resistant you may or may not think you need that insurance in the first place.If however you put in a claim for water leakage they don't have to do anything for you. When I called to cancel the policy they of course tried to talk me into keeping the policy, but given the undeniable terms of the "agreement" I could already envision the conversation I would be having if I had to file a claim for the same reason I bought the policy. You can of course trust them to honour their side of the agreement, but I don't personally put much faith in it since its all in black-and-white that they don't have to. Your mileage of course may vary.btw - My rating on this camera is only a four star simply because I do not yet have an opinion on the camera itself. I love Canon's products, as I already have three great SLR's. I have surveyed the market and this D20 looks like the best camera for the price given the tradeoffs needed for it to be water proof. I'll post an update on this camera performance after our next vacation, but I wanted to first warn any other people that might think to buy the warranty, to at least know and read what warranty exclusions I had found out about today.
Pros---------1. Great water protection. Used it for reef pictures and videos around 2-3 meters deep and the seal stayed perfect.Cons---------1. Flash is super slow to recharge. If you bought this camera, you will be using this on a beach or a sunny area for sure. In bright light situations such as beaches, you must turn on the flash for most photos or else you will get overexposed shots due to sunlight. Unfortunately this Canon camera takes like 3-4 seconds to recharge the flash after each photo! Reminds me of the 1990s and Nintendo NES nostalgia. Seriously Canon, are we still in the 21st century or not? I don't know what the designers were thinking here.2. The colored metallic area is all show and very prone to scratches. They should have stayed with 100% rubber all around the cause and not use cheap alloy metal plate for marketing purposes.3. The alloy/metallic screws that hold the camera together are not salt water rust proof. Yes you heard that right, a camera that's designed for under water photos has screws that aren't 100% rust proof when it comes to salt ocean water. What I mean is that if you used the camera in the ocean, make sure you rinse it under fresh water afterwards or you will get yellowing/rusting of the screws a few days later.4. Heavy. The size is not bulky and actually quite nice but it sure feels like holding on to a rock.Summary---------Look, this is an very average camera at best with great water protection. When it comes to waterproof cameras, consumers don't have many choices and Canon D20 is already one of the best in the field but unfortunately when compared to regular non-waterproof cameras, image quality and photo shooting features are mediocre at best and highway rubbery at worst considering the cost premium over much better non-waterproof cameras.
Have used it for over 6 months - dozens of times underwater, even accidentally to 70 ft. once (forgot it was in my BCD pocket). I have since used it a little past its depth limit several times (not recommended). Now, every once in a while the autofocus takes a little while to kick in (but I suspect it is due to my abuse) but other than that everything works fine. UW videos are high quality. It sure beats a bulky UW housing.
I have a few cameras. However on a fishing trip this summer, my guide had an older version. I had my old canon tucked away in a zip lock bag so it would not get water damage. Trouble was it took some effort to extract from my pocket, remove from the baggie and take a picture. This camera has a unique design - but takes great action shots. Its our new adventure camera- fishing, skiing, hiking - anything outdoors
My hubby got me this camera for our cruise. I took over 400 pics and video and a lot were underwater. Love that its compact and easy to carry around but still does tons of things-zoom and go from underwater to normal. I even hit a rail on the boat and the camera was fine! Hubby even took video going down big slide on ship. Highly recommend this camera!! Great job Canon!!
This camera replaced my old Canon S90. So glad I made the purchase. Before purchasing I wondered if there would be much advantage and I have been very pleased since the purchase. For those thinking about taking a step up for a nicer camera here is what I like:-More zoom for easier composition-Much better aperture range at all zoom positions (getting the blurry backgrounds with subject in focus is way easier)-Great 3" screen-Built in ND filter will allow me to get better motion blur in high light conditions (S90 didn't have a chance)-On screen level sensor is great for composition and eliminating bad pictures-All the knobs for adjustment are very quick to get to even with gloves on. I especially like the dedicated exposure compensation-View finder should be nice when I am trying to get a shot of a moving object with the background blurred (race car, bicyclist, whatever). Not having a viewfinder makes this very hard, I know.-The body feels must more like a tool than a consumer product. I feel confident this camera will last longer. Actually after buying the G15 the S90's ring adjuster broke and has some major lense issue.-Battery life seems betterHope this helps. I am very happy with my purchase and don't regret buying it over the Sony RX100 that I am sure most of you are thinking about. I also considered the comparable Nikon and Fuji. I do think about the Fuji X series sometimes because that sensor is really cool but it didn't seem to be as good of package as the G15.
Just got back from maui. Wow my pics are great and my videos, WOW.. HD is great. My first time scuba diving I am so glad I had my new camera with me! Bright, in focus pics. The battery lasted for the whole week.
Hello everybody,I am not a professional photographer and do not know much about aperture, shutter speed, raw, and those specs. All I can tell you is that this camera takes high quality pictures and videos. Now, I want to take photography courses. Canon earned my respect. I was undecided between the Sony RX100 and this one. I tested both, for many days, and honestly speaking, overall, this Canon is superior. The sensor is smaller than the rx100, but Canon's lens is better and its processor is a bullet, it focuses so fast (Digic 5), and the images are so SHARP, the colors so vivid. The build quality is solid and feels expensive; the RX100 feels weak and it does not bring a charger. I am so happy with this purchase. I am going to digest the manual; if you do not know much about photography, this camera will ignite your desires to learn more.Get this camera without hesitating, you will not regret the decision ;-)One more thing: You barely need the flash, this camera takes beautiful pictures in extremely low light conditions, and they look sharp!The battery lasts long. The camera brings a charger and a high quality neck strap. I love this camera.The combination of the Digic 5 processor, the bright lens, the larger than average sensor size, the solid/durable/expensive build quality, battery, design, makes this camera a high quality product.
We grab this camera first even though we have a DSLR. It is convenient and durable and we are happy with the picture quality.
There is not much to add to all other reviewers here, it is a good camera and takes fantastic photos, and quick. Battery last quite long, and build quality is also very good. The design is also mostly OK, but a little more grip wouldn't hurt. Kudos to Canon for they went with just 12 megapixel, and didn't push in more pixels in this relative small sensor.Just a few quirks which I'd like to point out:The LCD with over 900K pixels is razor sharp for photo viewing, but too bad that Canon does not take advantage of that to redesign the menu interface and the fonts / icons which appears on the LCD and they're still pixelated and cheap looking.1080 HD video recording is stunning, but the 24-fps is sub-par for today's standards.The zoom ring (and shutter button too) is way too small and difficult to control.One flaw that I still have with all my Canon cameras, that is some lighting condition (mainly florescent), some colors are not accurate. Purple shows like blue. And it's difficult to correct, even with white-balance control. I must do it in Photoshop.I also don't like the mega-strap that is included with this camera. While it might be useful for some, I wouldn't mind to have a regular smaller strap thrown in as well. (I bought this one Nikon 25770 AN-CP19 Black Strap for myself, and I love it).Otherwise, it's a beautiful piece.
Read all of the reviews posted on the web. There are many technical reviews that will help you.Why did I buy the G15? Well, I just returned from four weeks Europe (Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, and France) and I hopped trains to get around with my trusty T4i (which I just upgraded from a T2i in June this year). There were times when I wished I had a point-n-shoot camera instead of my SLR just because of the size and weight. As I traveled around, I noticed the tourist from Japan had a Canon PowerShot G15. I do not have lens envy, I'm a hobbyist and notice things like this. I researched at my hotel and found out that the G15 was released in my home shores in mid-September.I was able to take a few shots while on holiday by offering to take pictures of my fellow travelers who owned the G15. After doing this for almost 4 weeks I was convinced that the G15 was the answer to my second, alternative, point-n-shoot fall-back camera. I like the idea of traveling overseas with a backup camera.I've had the G15 for several days and have shot over 200 pictures while learning the features. There was not one bad picture that I did not cause. The G15 is fast. I have no plans to ever give up my SLR but I now have a complete package (for me). I had a very specific need for this G15 and it meets it.
I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this camera. I was looking for an underwater camera that was affordable, took amazing pictures and was durable. I was asking for a lot and there are several on the market that boast these claims. I ended up going with the Canon Powershot D20. The price was high, but more than worth it. It does indeed take stunning underwater photos and standard photos as well as great video. (for home movies, I wouldn't buy this to film your wedding) The build and design of the camera is very user friendly, a little bulky, but it easily fits into pockets or a backpack.It is not without some issues. The latch to the battery release tends to stick, it just requires a little jiggling and it latches fine, but it is something to definitely be aware of if you are purchasing.I highly recommend this camera to anyone on the market looking for a great affordable camera with underwater photo capabilities.
The G15 camera did everything I had hoped it would. The pictures are sharp and clear. The zoom worked better than I had expected when taking distance photos at a large football stadium. There are a multitude of photography options and settings that I have yet to use, and frankly, may never use. The one drawback I have noticed is concerning the fixed viewing panel on the back of the camera. The G12 offers a moveable, directional viewing panel that makes composing photos in a crowd (that is, by holding the camera above head level) much easier. Admittedly, I had identified that issue before purchasing the G15 and am completely satisfied with it. The G15 is smaller than the G12 and is easy to take in aircraft carry-on bags and while touring Europe. The G15 is another great Canon product!
I have to say this is the best! I looked at other cameras and compared for a few weeks. i tested it out in wildwood, nj. i also had a lumix but i returned it. quality wasnt as good. but anyway, this camera does its job. easy to use, cant screw anything up. pictures and videos underwater are crystal CLEAR! clean up is easy from ocean. rince under tap water, and i let it sit for hour (long because im ocd and scared) and then i open the compartments to access the SD cards. everything has been dry as could be and more. id say consider this camera first before others. we loved this while surfing, and my first time videos underwater were a FB hit! i love it beyond words.i have pictures to share if youd like to see them, as well as movies! email me giddyuphorse86@yahoo.com and id be happy to share!
of my gosh. I bought this camera just by the reviews. I was going to Hawaii and needed a good under water camera that took awesome pictures. I was so amazed how easy it was to video tape and take awesome pictures. I was truely amazed. I will cherish my pictures and camera always. Thanks Canon
This was an excellent buy and at a good price too. I even stuck it under water to see if water would damage the camera and to my surprise it did not! The picture quality is also fantastic just remember to focus the lens.
It's very good camera by this price, I bought it for my Cancun trip, good picture and video quality, I have no problem at all use it under water, fresh or salt, but only problem I have is the flash light, it only has 2 options AUTO or OFF, the AUTO sometimes not very smart, why can't have an flash ON option?also the camera video play back don't have speaker, BTW the software won't let me change the download directory.
