Very Good Small Camera
29 of 29 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: 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 than 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. ...
