User Reviews: Canon PowerShot G9
NO longer a current model!!
Pros: good company, reliable products
Cons: not a current model
Hey, the CURRENT model, with an improved sensor, and a wider angle lens, albeit less telephoto, is the G11, which also includes a swing-out rear LCD.
Was this review helpful? Yes - Noworth my bang for my buck
Pros: metal case, big lcd, easy menu selection
Cons: not enough color/exposure control
I do a lot of one handed shooting
and the G9 fits snuggly in my hand. I have not had a problem with the hand grip.
I have taken almost 100,000 shots with the G9 and I have yet to have a problem.
I would have liked to see the custom color options available to the other color selections, or a greater range of control of exposure and b/w.
The options are controlled by pushing in the ring button. This opens up the options when shooting. The camera menu has it's own button and is all navigated with the ring either by pushing in one of the four directions or by sliding the ring around. I found this system to be very easy to use, even with one hand.
It's small enough to fit in my pocket.
It's big enough to feel like it has some heft to it.
The shutter doesn't make a loud enough noise when taking burst shots/many many shots.
Battery life is great. I use some flash but prefer to keep it to a minimum. I can go more than 1,500 shots a day on a single battery. I've never tried to dry out the battery with all flash shots, but it lasts long enough.
There is a bit of a delay for burst firing with flash for the battery to charge but it happens after 10-15 continuous flash shots for about 25 to 30 seconds.
Image quality is great. Anyone considering buying a portable nonDSLR camera doesn't need 12 megapixels. I shoot at a lower quality. I don't need 4000x3000 size shots. It does widescreen which is fun.
great camera
I recommend the ac adapter and extra batteriesWas this review helpful? Yes - NoThe best camera I ever owned
Pros: Quality of images and stabilization!!!
Cons: None
Absolutely the best camera I ever owned. We have many brands in the family and some very serious cameras, digital SLRs and this camera can compete with the best SLRs! Fantastic value for money, easy to use, lots and lots of features, durable, stable image, good flash, basically I am a very happy customers, I own it for the last year and never regret a single day!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoSmallish camera, huge performance
Pros: Amazing macro, and very sharp portrait & landscape
Cons: Needs ample light to keep ISO as low as possible
The Canon Powershot G9 can run with the big boys in any area except telephoto and low lighting. Picture quality when hand-held in decent lighting easily exceeds my Canon Rebel XT even off a sturdy Manfrotto tripod. Image stabilization rocks!
It also performs well with my Canon 430 Speedlight flash for portraits. Macro detail with bright color is nothing short of amazing.
Yes it's quite noisy at higher ISO settings. No, it can't compete at all with a DSLR at telephoto distances or in dim light.
Within its limits, though, it is a truly outstanding camera. Excellent value! A bit too large for the shirt pocket, but carrying it all day on a neck strap never tires you!
