 G9 is a great addition to your photographic toolbox October 30, 2007

The Gee Nine is simply one of the best weapons in my arsenal. It's Macro capabilities are unbeatable, the controls are logical and well laid out, the ability to shoot RAW...I could go on. I used to always feel the need to carry my SLR with me everywhere, now all I need is the G9. You wont be sorry you purchased this camera.

Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Really having a good time into week four with my fifth digital camera in five years - the Canon G9. I would say it was, in total, a bit pricey, camera, tele lens, adapters, bag, extra batt. But after fudging around the fall scenes of these here eastern states, taking pictures inside with lamplight of the preggers wifey, I'd have to say it's worth it.
Small con, the manual focus is a bit of a twist to learn.
But, easily the toughest camera I've ever owned. Fast start up, quick focus, good movies, excellent low light. But, buy that small flash for the hot shoe. makes parties and what-not a real blast.

The G9 is a great camera fitting into the gap between compact 'point and shoot' and full sized SLR both in terms of size and functionality. The G9 is a bit big to slip into a normal pocket (cargo pant wearers might be able to) but is still small enough for discreet shooting. It has a satisfying weight in the hand and build quality is high. I took it straight out of the box and started shooting without needing the manual so the controls are intuitive and well laid out. My only quibble is why is Canon shipping this camera with a 32MB card? It's a joke. This is a 12MP camera!
One of the key reasons i bought the G9 is the built-in time-lapse function. It's a bit limited - 1 and 2 frames per second but these intervals produce good results in most situations. The camera user manual is a bit brief and takes a few readings to understand. I can't make a comment on the bundled software yet but overall this a great camera with functionality and image quality to satisfy those photographers looking for more control on the image than a P&S without lugging an SLR around.
Very Nice October 26, 2007

The Canon PowerShot G9 is an impressive camera that delievers on features. Automatic mode delievers beautiful point and shoot pictures and the manuel mode delievers on creativity. Filled full of features, this camera is good for both the novice and pro. Image stabilization is effective for cancelling out hand shakingness and for zooming in with the zoom. Face dectection delievers accurate colors to the face requiring little to no editing. Overall, the camera delievers on its promises.

I really looked around before deciding on this camera, because for just a little more I could have gotten a pretty decent DSLR kit. But when I thought about what I use a camera to do, I came back to the G9. I want to be able to take it with me places and have it when a photo op appears, I want to be able to shoot a lot of pictures of people and not scare them off when I'm shooting, I want to be able to stick the camera on a tripod and play around with some macro shots, I want to shoot a short movie clip here and there when babies are suddenly making noises or learning to roll over, and I want to really have full control over the camera and be able to make quick adjustments to all exposure controls. The G9 does all of these things, and it's interesting to note that a DSLR cannot do some of those things. Bottom line for me was that I can carry the G9 almost all the time - it even slips into my back pocket. I can pull it out to snap a shot, and probably have time to recompose a second or third before anyone notices I'm taking pictures. I can switch over to movie mode and back to stills with no difficulty. And it takes phenomenal pictures. It definitely has its limitations, but it can take some great pictures if you work with and around the camera's abilities. I'm keeping it, and if you want to borrow mine then maybe you should get your own.
