Product Description: Canon PowerShot G9

Given the success of Canon's highly acclaimed G Series, it's no surprise that ambitious photographers have been eagerly anticipating the next model in its evolution. The wait has paid off handsomely with the introduction of the PowerShot G9. In image quality and functionality, the G9 stands above the competition with 12.1 megapixels of resolution, a 6x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer, and RAW mode for the ultimate in creative control. Sophisticated design and high-quality construction complement the technology and make the G9 a camera to be reckoned with.

Very Good Small Camera
By nd2f Oct 16, 2007 | 29 out of 29 found this Canon PowerShot G9 review helpful
Pros: Big feature set. Lots of control over image creation.
Cons: No big negatives.
The G9 is a very good small camera. I was one of the holdouts for RAW and once this was added it seemed the camera to buy. I have used a Canon DSLR for about two years and wanted a smaller camera. This camera has a full feature set and more options t...han you can digest overnight. The image quality is good but if you are accustomed to a DSLR with its larger sensor, you may be a little disappointed with the jpeg output and its noise at higher ISO's.(over 400). However, the RAW conversions are very good. If you are strictly a point and shoot person, you may be overbuying with the G9. If you never shoot a RAW image you may consider the Nikon P5100. If you are a person who likes spot metering, RAW files, manual, Tv, Av, the ability to pick ISO, etc. it may be for you. Note that RAW for whatever reason is not available in the scene modes. By and large I am very pleased with this camera. I have not used the movie mode so I can't comment on that feature. I will not be selling my DSLR any time soon as I have had very good service from that camera and its image creation is excellent. That being said, this camera is a lot easier to take to those places where the DSLR is too conspicuous and perhaps overkill. To sum up, this is a very good camera that you can have a lot of fun with if your expectations are reasonable for the camera you are buying. Best regards. Read more Less

Just bought & no regrets yet
By aa7jc Oct 4, 2007 | 13 out of 13 found this Canon PowerShot G9 review helpful
Pros: Protected (retratable with cover) lens plus LOTS of features plus excellent quality
Cons: Display has a polarized filter = BIG trouble taking photos while wearing sunglasses!
HUGE list of features. Takes great photos (I am not a pro) My other camera is an SD700IS which I love but this G9 truly takes better pictures by a easy bto see margin. It is small enough to take on outdoor outings which is why I wanted it vs an SLR.... The screen is very bright and easy to use when not wearing polarized sunglasses. The polarization problem is nothing less than amazing.. I literally thought that the camera screen died (broke) when I put on my polarized sunglasses. I had to go out and buy a new pair of *unpolarized* sunglasses so I could use this camera with some eye protection (here in Arizona sunglasses are generally not an option). I hope this helps Read more Less

For most, a DSLR is too big to lug around all the time. While its many settings and options make it a complex camera to get to know, the G9 gives you high-end features in a compact package. Read more
