The Bottom Line The Canon PowerShot G7 is a solid enthusiast camera for those who've ruled out a budget dSLR. The Canon PowerShot G9 is a solid enthusiast digital camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR. The Canon PowerShot SD 850 IS has just about everything you'd want in a point-and-shoot. Though it remains a good megazoom, thanks to continued image and lens artifacts, the Canon PowerShot S5 IS is slowly losing ground to competitors. A very well-executed megazoom camera, the Canon PowerShot S3 IS reminds you why dSLRs still have competition for photo enthusiasts' hearts.
