My first G7 images

Well this is quite a capable little camera. Colors are nice and saturated, and the macro mode is a blast! These are nothing to brag over, yet to get these with my 20D would have taken a lot more work. For these I just walked up, put the lens near the item, and snapped the shot.

The details in the dandelion image are quite something, as is the nice background blur. I'll have to try some macro photography with the G7 this weekend.

Macros are dynamite on the G7, easily my favorite mode so far.

The lilypad bloom (my wife saw the zoomed-in image of the center of the flower, which was unbelievably sharp, and guessed "french fries" when I asked her what she was looking at!) and an orange flower that doesn't even look "real", but I love the shadow & detail.

Both were f2.8. I shoot most often in AV mode, so the shutter speed was chosen by the camera. One ended up at 1/50, the other at 1/1600. Not surprising since the flower was in the shade and the puff ball was in the sun. I believe both were shot at ISO 80 (can't review that in the EXIF with the tools I have handy here).

nice shots! I plan on picking up a G7 soon, this is encouraging since I shoot a lot of macro stuff

The G7 is a macro wonder!
