>>Black body for sharp appearance
Black body to enhance appearance as the advanced model of the PowerShot G3 (advancement to five
megapixels)
--> Providing a sleek, sharp-looking image as a better high-performance camera
-Black body
The body uses the aluminum cover from the PowerShot G3 to keep the metallic feel and adds a
black alumite finish for sense of elegance.
-Metal parts for accenting the black body
A diamond cut finish has been applied to the mode dial and aluminum ring at the lens edge to
enhance the metallic feel. The metallic accents in the black body give the camera a more striking
black appearance.
