A review of the Canon PowerShot G7 digital camera has been posted over at DPInterface. 'The Canon PowerShot G7 is actually a big-ish but rather flat camera so it should be easy to carry in your coat pocket. The camera was designed with a retro look in mind (just like some of Canon's other cameras recently) and it even comes with two pseudo film camera shutter sounds. The G7 looks utterly stylish but with its design comes some kind of compromise in ergonomics - no proper grip and the tiny shutter button are the main issues. The G7 feels nice and sturdy in hand. The dials are fairly stiff so you can't bump them by accident though the control dial on the back is feels loose and frequently rotates when you just want to press a button. There are many controls on the camera which make important settings easily accessible.'
