The G2 maintains the portable, easy-to-handle form factor that made its predecessor popular:

Compact and Lightweight: Designed to be easily handled for extended shooting sessions without fatigue.

Moisture-Resistant Construction: The robust build allows for worry-free use in wet weather and demanding outdoor conditions.

Fluorine Coating: The front element features a fluorine coating to protect against fingerprints, smudging, and dust, simplifying lens maintenance.
