‘The Canon PowerShot G2 Black Kit’

Canon, a leader in photographic and imaging technology, unveils the ideal solution for any photographer who has ever missed that ‘all important’ shot of the day. Canon has combined the award winning PowerShot G2 digital camera with IBM’s ultimate 1GB Microdrive™ storage solution to produce the attractively priced PowerShot G2 Black kit.

“By combining the strength of two respected technology leaders, Canon has enhanced the PowerShot G2 to deliver extended shooting performance,” says Robert King, Marketing Manager.

“The new PowerShot G2 kit offers the consumer and advanced photographer the ability to shoot all day without having to change their Compact Flash card. By combining the award wining PowerShot G2 in an exclusive anodised black finish with the 1GB IBM Microdrive™ the user can rest assured that every single shot is safely captured and stored.”

The outstanding battery life of the PowerShot G2 is the ideal match for the massive 1GB IBM Microdrive™ allowing for 400 pictures to be taken from a single charge. The 1GB IBM Microdrive™ can store over 350 of the highest quality RAW-mode images.

The PowerShot G2 is the benchmark 4M pixel digital camera and delivers exceptional image quality. With a fast f2.0, 3x optical zoom lens and a full complement of photographic controls, the PowerShot G2 is the camera of choice for advanced digital photographers.
