With a stunning combination of resolution, speed and control, all housed in a rugged, elegant new black enclosure, the PowerShot G5 takes the lead as Canon's flagship PowerShot. It features a 4x all-glass optical zoom lens, 12 EOS System-based shooting modes, a fast maximum aperture of f/2.0-3.0 and macro focusing down to 2 inches, a Direct Connect print function, and a 3-mode built-in flash with red-eye reduction. In addition, the camera comes bundled with a 32MB CompactFlash Card and a new version Canon's ImageBrowser software for the Mac, which features an enhanced user interface, speed and database file reliability to allow for shorter downloads, increased functionality and easier task navigation. Five megapixel 1/1.8" sensor and a four times optical zoom lens, the competition will be Sony's DSC-V1 and the recently announced Nikon Coolpix 5400.
