Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The PowerShot G9 is taking over from the legendary PowerShot G7. This superb camera has improved performances and the best Canon technology for even better quality pictures. For example, it has a high-capacity sensor with 12 million effective pixels and a powerful 6x optical zoom. You can take large format shots with the G9 yet still capture the tiniest details in incredible colour, thanks to DIGIC III processing. You don't need to worry about camera shake when you're framing a shot because the G9 has an optical image stabilisation system that compensates for movement and eliminates blur; along with 1600 ISO sensitivity, this system means your pictures turn out sharp and rich in colour, even in low-lighting conditions. The G9 is easy to use, and its design is based on the user-friendliness of traditional cameras. You can adjust the ISO sensitivity settings on this camera, and the LCD screen has been enlarged to 3", allowing you to monitor all your shots before and after taking them. It even has a traditional optical viewfinder. With all this, you'll want to take the PowerShot G9 with you everywhere you go!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Powershot G9
Just about everything has been said about the Canon G9 and there is not much that I can add to the recommendation for this camera especially as I have only had the camera a couple of weeks..and I am still putting it through its paces...I find there is nothing more pointless than a review which says..."I've had the camera for two days and it is brilliant"...only time and usage will tell ...but so far I find it more than satisfactory for my requirements....
This feedback is more about the excellent service provided by Amazon Itself..from whom I purchased the g9....I ordered at approx., 5.30pm one day..and with the express delivery service...my new toy arrived..Intact and well packaged.. before 9.45am the following day....very well done ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Best compact camera available
Don't buy this camera if you want something small and simple. Do buy it if you want a wide range of features and RAW format functionality.

I love my DSLRs and, like many amateur photographers (I suspect), I'm something of a control freak, which rules out my picking up a compact or point-and-shoot because I'm given little or no say in what I do. I also despise the long, long, long shutter lag and complete inability to shoot fast-moving objects or in low light. The other gripes common to *all* compacts - chromatic aberration, distortion, noise - would normally prevent me from buying a compact at all.

I've owned two: the Nikon Coolpix 5100 and the Canon G9, which I've used when I needed something small. I gave away the ... Read More:



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Almost Perfect
I have a love/hate relationship with my G9 - well, actually I've had two of them. I noticed shortly after buying the first that there was a small dark dot appearing on the screen when I was previewing and taking video footage. It wan't there on photos, but that's due to Canon's clever dust spot reduction filtering.

Anyway, I deciced that I'd paid for a fully functional camera, even though I didn't plan to use the video capability, so I returned it to Amazon and they sent me a new unit - no questions asked. This time, I have only had the camera for a month, and shot only a few dozen images. It's always kept in a case, and never in dusty environments. However, looking closely into the lens element, I can see that it's already managed ... Read More:



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Camera
I have had the camera now for 5 months and can say the pictures are stunning. Quick start up and high auto shutter setting mean I can catch my kids without having to get blurred shots all the time. However, one issue only on build quality which was the ink on the dials coming off with general use and sweat. Sent it back to canon uk for a repair under warranty and waiting for its return. other than that its a real special piece of kit. Watch out for the dials though if you think ink is coming off send it in quick for replacement dials.....



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Do NOT buy, save your money - But is a very nice compact camera.
Although the G9 is a wonderful camera, probably one of the best, it has a fatal flaw. I am a G9 owner and a very disappointed one at that. As when the lens opens it sucks in air and DUST, it is NOT a sealed camera. yet you can not open it, to repair it easily. If you google this problem you will find it all over the web. It may take anywhere between 1 week to 3 months, for the image to become ruined by dust and sediment inside the camera. The dust becomes lodged on the sensor and between lenses. If you live on the international space station or in a microchip plant, this is the camera for you. As it has a brilliant build quality. But otherwise do not, it would be a huge disappointment. I hope this gives you the other side of the story.
