GREENBATTERIES

The most efficient and least expensive way to power many cameras (not the S300) and other electronic devices is with environmentally friendly, rechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries. And with new hi-tech battery chargers, you can be back shooting in just a few hours. But you don’t just need batteries, you also have to carry and store them. For those needs, be sure to check out battery wallets to carry sets of spare batter- ies on your belt, and a battery caddy to keep sets of batteries organized at your home or office. The people I recommend for all of your battery needs (and I don’t get paid for saying this) are the folks at GreenBatteries.com at http://www.greenbatteries.com. These creative people are solving those small nagging battery problems that drive digital photographers crazy. If you tell them Denny Curtin at ShortCourses sent you and you and buy one or more battery wallets, they’ll throw in another one free.

(Tip: when charged, put batteries in the wallet right side up. When dead, insert them right side down. This way you’ll always know which battery sets are charged and which aren’t.)

A battery wallet slips in your purse or pocket or attaches to your belt and makes your batteries easier to carry, and easier to store.

At home it’s easy to misplace your batteries. Letting them just roll around on the counter isn’t the ideal solution. To keep them organized, you need a desktop battery caddy. Like a wallet, a caddy keeps battery sets together and makes them easy to find. Just as with the wallet, when charged, put batteries in the caddy right side up. When dead, insert them right side down

As a part of Canon’s acclaimed PowerShot series, the G2 combines advanced technology with user-friendly features, making it a go-to option for both amateur photographers and seasoned pros.

One of the standout features of the G2 is its impressive image quality, which is driven by a 4-megapixel CCD sensor. This sensor allows for clear, high-resolution images that capture fine details and vibrant colors, even in challenging lighting conditions. The camera boasts an impressive ISO range, enabling users to shoot in low light without significant noise, which is essential for indoor or nighttime photography.

The Canon G2 is equipped with a variable aperture lens with a focal length of 7.2 to 28.8 mm (equivalent to 35 to 140 mm in 35mm film), offering flexibility for different shooting scenarios. The lens features a fast f/2.0 maximum aperture, which is perfect for achieving a shallow depth of field and stunning bokeh effects. Coupled with an optical zoom capability, the G2 allows for a wider creative range when capturing landscapes, portraits, and more.

Another noteworthy aspect of the G2 is its advanced macro capabilities. Users can take stunning close-up shots from as little as 1.6 inches away, making it ideal for photographing flowers, insects, and intricate details. The camera also features a built-in flash and a hot shoe for external flash units, providing versatility in different lighting situations.

In terms of user interface, the Canon Pocket Guide G2 offers a friendly control layout with a customizable menu, making it easy to navigate settings and access various shooting modes. The camera includes a variety of scene modes that enhance user experience, from portrait and landscape to night snapshots.

Moreover, the G2 supports image stabilization technology, crucial for reducing blur in handheld shots. This makes it easier to capture sharp images, even with longer exposure settings.

The camera connects easily to computers and printers via USB, enabling quick sharing of images. Compact and portable, the Canon Pocket Guide G2 is perfect for those who want a reliable camera that fits in their pocket while delivering exceptional image quality and versatility on the go. Whether capturing life’s fleeting moments or exploring creative photography, the G2 stands out as a comprehensive tool for digital imaging.
