Description: The Canon PowerShot G3 succeeds to the PowerShot G2 released in October 2001 and The PowerShot G3 developed as the flagship model in the PowerShot range. In addition to a high-resolution 1/1.8" 4-megapixel CCD sensor, the PowerShot G3 combines an increased optical magnification of 4x (equivalent to 35-140 mm in 35 mm format) with a bright f/2.0-3.0 lens, for enhanced imaging performance.
