canon powershot g1 in Victoria, British Columbia for sale

Testimonial based on a manufacturing PowerShot G1, Firmware Variation 1.00.
A departure from the norm? Not what was anticipated? A couple of sites have actually asserted the G1 is the "replacement for the Pro 70". I personally have other ideas. The G1 is a direct rival to Nikon's 990 and Olympus's C-3030Z, it has a totally different form-factor to the Pro 70 (it's more like the S range) as well as doesn't feature Canon's just recently announced 10x optical zoom stabilised digital cam lens.
The G1 is slightly larger and bigger compared to the S10/S20 dimension however still smaller sized than some of its competitors. The G1 showed up sporting all the attributes lots of people had actually been pleading for, a flip-out and also spin LCD, RAW file format, Microdrive compatibility, blink hot-shoe, whole lots of manual attributes. The inquiry is was Canon a few months far too late to record the prosumer 3 megapixel market or will the G1 make its mark in electronic camera past?
Video camera comes with battery as well as the canon 32 gb small flash card however I am missing out on the battery charger, Last time video camera was in use was during the summer after that placed away in storage. Electronic camera does work, if you have a battery charger you could test it. Am accepting offers thanks.
