The digital camera world's equivalent of the Arms' Race, the relentless push towards an ever greater number of megapixels continues unabated, and the Canon PowerShot G7, introduced in the early Fall, offers a 10 megapixel resolution. In this case, however, it seems to come at a cost. The G7 no longer offers the hinged monitor of the G6, the camera it supplants, neither does it have a generous grip, nor the SLR-like display screen on the right of the flash shoe. Design-wise, the G7 is retro, abandoning the course of the G6, which had evolved towards being a bridge camera, and returning instead to the roots of the G-series: the compact camera.
