Canon Powershot G2 Digital Camera [4MP 3xOptical]

Product Information

Considering that neither Canon nor Nikon makes a native 150-600mm lens, it seems a bit odd to be spoiled for choice in this particular market segment.

In October 2017 Canon introduced the third model of the G1 X-series: Canon PowerShot G1 X mark III. It replaced the 1.5" sensor with a 24 megapixel APS-C sensor used in many Canon EOS DSLR and mirrorless cameras. The camera also was much reduced in size and weight, weighting only 399 grams. To achieve the reduced size the zoom range was reduced to 15–45mm (24–72mm in 35mm equivalence) and the size of the aperture was reduced from f/2.0-3.9 to f/2.8-5.6. The Mark III also has internal viewfinder and a DSLR-like form factor much similar to the G5 X. It also is the first PowerShot (with the exception of waterproof D-series) to have weather sealing. As I’ve stated, the chromatic aberration isn’t a major issue of any sort with the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD. I couldn’t make the lens fringe or flare–and I’m sort of sad about the latter. I really, genuinely enjoy lens flare but it seems to have been engineered out of the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD. Color RenditionCanon unveils PowerShot G11 high-end compact".

Professional photographers will surely appreciate and enjoy the colors that the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD lens will give them due to some extra saturation that the lenses offer. I’m surely aware that some may prefer the more muted colors that Canon offers and the even more saturated colors that Zeiss and Sigma tend to give. But Tamron’s colors with the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD are very vibrant and life-like. In addition to the great colors though, photographers will take comfort in the reliability that there will be no chromatic aberration to really speak of or complain about. Even further, the lens focuses pretty close–which is great when is comes to headshot sessions using the longer end of the lens. Bokeh The G7 marked a major change in the G series. Previous G series models had a fast lens, raw image format capture, and a tilt-and-swivel LCD. These were all considered [ by whom?] hallmarks of the G series, but were removed or altered for the G7. Some of the major changes included:

[16]In 2013, Tamron introduced the 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD, an affordable super telephoto zoom with a huge and versatile focal length range. Now to Dec 2014. Bought a Canon EF 24-105 L IS USM for my Rebel. Looks impressive, but after a day taking pictures and comparing results, the G16 is so good, in fact, for outdoors, side by side image quality in many cases is as good or better than the Rebel! Maybe my Rebel is getting tired? First PowerShot G with CMOS. Introduced DIGIC 5 and a redesigned 4× wide-angle lens. Adds 1080p video recording. The first model that did not replace the previous one. With both the Canon 6D and Canon 6D Mk II, the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD is simple and accurate to focus with. In fact, for the first time I’ve found a lens that can autofocus well with the outer focusing points offered on the Canon 6D original. The autofocus performance was accurate around 97% of the time with the Canon 6D and 100% of the time with the Canon 6D Mk II. I’ve never been able to completely get this with Sigma unless I’m using the center focusing point. So overall, kudos to Tamron here. But also, if I put on the EF lens adapter and use some of my Canon 5D EOS lenses, that do have a focus servo, tap-to-focus would then work, correct?

I have the Fujinon XA20sx8.5BRM-K3 HD Pro Lens (I think the same lens, but mine doesn't have the "E" in it?) which does't have a focus servo, hence no tap-to-focus, correct?However, that's exactly what's happened. The third party manufacturers have solidly filled a niche that the big two lens manufacturers have yet to fill. The lens that started it all, the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens, burst onto the scenes in 2013 and was immediately a popular choice for sports and wildlife photographers whose budgets did not The Tamron 150-600 G1's vignetting performance is typically mild for lenses in its class, showing roughly One of the reasons why the Tamron SP 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD G2 lens is being awarded our Editor’s Choice award has to do with pricing. Tamron has always offered great image quality a a lower price than Sigma and first parties. And unless you’re pixel peeping you probably won’t be able to tell the differences between the lenses straight out of camera. Further, modern day editing can make any photo from any lens look like one another. The point is though that the Tamron SP 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a pretty fantastic tool for the professional photographer. Tamron also has a three business day repair service option, which is also pretty darn sweet. Their program may not be as extensive as Canon’s but with time it may get there.

In a rather surprising move, Tamron released the 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (Generation 2) Lens only 3 years after the introduction of its predecessor.

Pros and Cons What pretty much every photographer seems to aim for is a 24-70mm lens of some sort, and the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD G2 may be just the thing that many photographers really need. There are professional features to a lens like this such as a metal exterior, weather sealing, and solid image quality that embraces a more saturated look. Plus it has vibration compensation which keeps the camera shake down. More and more options like this are appearing on the market with Sigma and Nikon both putting image stabilization into their lens offerings. Indeed, it’s a feature that photographers have been asking for for the better part of 10 years. And arguably, it took way too long to get to us. The G series has a lithium-ion battery, full manual exposure control, an articulated LCD screen (G7, G9, G10, G15, and G16 have a fixed screen), Raw image format capture (all models except G7), a lens with a wider maximum aperture than standard PowerShot models, remote capture (except G11), and faster image processing. The range also includes a hot shoe (except G7 X and G9 X) for an external flashgun, including Canon's EX range. New models in the series have larger sensors than most other point-and-shoot cameras ( G1X, G1X Mark II, G7X). For the record, I’ve taken Tamron’s lenses out into the rain many times before and they’ve all been just fine. I’d expect the same thing here. Ease of Use
