Despite its compact size, the G3 includes a hot shoe for attaching external flash units, expanding its versatility for shooting in challenging lighting conditions.

The camera also supports multimedia storage with CompactFlash cards, allowing for expanded memory options for photographers who enjoy shooting in high-resolution modes. Battery life is commendable, providing users with the ability to shoot for extended periods without frequent recharges.

Another notable characteristic of the G3 is its robust build quality, featuring a combination of metal and durable plastic. This design not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures that the camera can withstand mild impacts and daily wear and tear.
