Very sophisticated point and shoot Like alot of reviewers here, I bought the G9 as a sophisticated point and shoot upgrade, not wanting to lug around a heavy DSLR, yet wanting more sophisticated pictures than most point and shoots can handle. I have found that I use a camera alot more if it is easy to carry around, and the G9 fits that bill very well. It's not like my little Elph, which almost goes unnoticed in a shirt pocket; but it will fit into a jacket pocket quite easily and takes vastly superior pictures to the Elph.

Great Buy The Canon PS G9 is a perfect camera for someone who is beginning in photography and is looking to learn. The manual settings are easy to use and the pictures come out great. The ability to shoot both JPG and RAW is an incredible feature that is mostly found in professional series cameras, I love that you can add lens and filters to give your shots a more artistic feel. Overall a great camera, if you wish to see some examples please view my porfolio at www.jpgmag.com/people/sliknick . All of m...

Wonderful camera! I upgraded from a Canon PowerShot G2 to the G9 and am not disappointed. There are many selections to take the pictures in all kinds of lighting. Today I visited Fantastic Caverns in Springfield, MO, and, using the Night Snapshot, I was able to capture some amazing photos (in both low light and total darkness). The photos are crisp and clear. After using this camera for 3 weeks, I still have so much more to learn and am excited to do so!

Exemplary Camera! This is an AMAZING!!! camera. More money need not be spent. Next step up is much more $$$$.
Only one small problem, IF you are using the wide angle attachment, it casts a shadow while using the built-in flash.
Easily solved.
Best Bang for Buck!!!
Love the underwater mode when diving using the Canon Housing!

Canon G9 I have had several digital cameras, and most are Canon. This is now my favorite. The viewing screen is a very good size, and since I already have the S80, there was not much to learn with the G9. My only problem was the case that I purchased. It is way too tight for this camera.
I love the camera !

Guidebook writer I bought this camera while traveling on assignment overseas for several internationally known guidebook publishers. In short, I'm very disappointed with the model. I've always used cameras from the Cannon G series but this is a big step backwards. Because there is no cover for the view screen, it scratches quickly. The automatic lens shutters sticks and does not close correctly. Thus the lens itself becomes quickly scratched and flaws show up in photos. In an unrelated manner, block blotched als...

Buy IT This camera is great. I own a 5D, and i was a little hesitant to buy the G9. I wanted a small camera I could take with me on vacation, instead of my big, heavy, expensive bag of gear. The pics look great(200 ISO and under). The video looks real good for a compact camera. All pics, and videos look good, with a good amount of light. When you are in low light situations is gets a little noisy. The price is amazing for what your getting, even for Canon. They usually are a little over priced. If you ...

Good but not great If you're looking for a Point and Shoot with SLR-like qualities, this is it, but you'll have to know the camera and you'll have to know what you're doing in order to get a great shot. I only bought this camera for times where I could not lug around the larger DSLR.
I don't recommend this for people who just want to take family/friend pictures: (1) It's too expensive for just that (2) You'll be disappointed when you just put it on Program or Auto and the shot comes out crappy and (3) Yo...

Amazing camera, exactly as advertised I've had this camera since winter and it takes some amazing images. I've shot family shots of our new baby and my wife actually takes more now and her shots look a million times better than they used to with her old point and shoot digital. We keep it out all the time so when the baby is looking cute, bam, great photo.
I've shot some stuff for work (car shows etc) and the images surprise even me. It definitely makes you look like a better photographer than you are. I don't use the ...

Great Compact Cmaera I have had this camera for a couple of weeks now and all i can say is that it is an excellent compact camera. The camera feels solid with none of that plastic feel of so many of the new cameras. The pictures are excellent and produce truely amazing detail. The anti jitter works well and allows you to take pictures of distant objects with a minimum of blur. I am still exploring all the features of which there are many. The only problem I have has so far is the fact the screen is polarized and if ...

Over-rated with a Lousy Lens The body is metal and quite robust. The lens totally sucks. Unlike the Canon S80 this lens is not very wideangle at 35 mm versus 28 mm in the S80. The pin cushion distortion when the G9 is at its widest is horrible. The color rendition is fine. I also like the fact that it will take both raw and jpeg images. The poorly engineered and fabricated lens was a deal breaker. I returned the camera to amazon for a credit and bought something else. This expensive point and shoot camera is schedul...

great and versatile camera After reading such mixed reviews about the G9, I was hesitant to buy it. But I went ahead and I'm glad that I did. I'm not a professional photographer, nor will I ever be and photography is more of a hobby for me. That is why it was nice to have the point and shoot/automatic features for basic photos, and to also have the option of manual features if I'm feeling artsy. I would say that it's also great for someone who is still learning about how to use manual features. You'll always have the aut...

So So Product this was my first digital camera. i picked this camera based on reviews, reputation and size. when it arrived, i found out that 32mb is not enough memory, so i bought 8 gb SDHC Transcend 8GB SDHC CARD (SD 2.0 SPD Class 6). i noticed two things while using this camera. (1) it did not seem to perform well in low light. (2) when i encountered the "lens error" or stuck lens,after a few weeks of use, i decided to return the ...

impressive little camera My Canon Rebel Digital was stolen, so this Canon G9 was a replacement camera for me. I am pleasantly surprized by the versatility of the camera; I also like the fact that its less of a hassle to carry around compared to the SLR. The full manual features are great for us casual users that want a little more than a point and shoot.
I also like the movie function, good enough for those unexpected moments when film will do more justice than a picture.

The Best P&S Digital Camera on the Market Like all small sensor cameras anything above 200 ISO is noisy, but if you're shooting at 100 or 80, and in RAW, this camera is nothing short of remarkable. Easily competes with much higher priced DSLRs - sharp lens, great sensor, DIGIC III processor, awesome.
Feels like a durable piece of equipment due to its metal body and knurled metal knobs. Great 3" screen to review your pictures. Full manual control, including focus. Good meter for shooting in Av or Tv. Wife is pleased wit...

The 21st century Leica, kind of... I read tons of reviews, and checked out all the online forums, so I thought I knew what to expect. And yet I am still impressed. I couldn't find this camera at my local electronic or camera store in order to get a "hands on" impression before buying (one of the reasons why I bought from Amazon with their excellent return policy), but I have to say that I really love the way it feels in my hand. Now I know what everyone is talking about. It's substantial.

Great Little Gadget! This camera is a great substitute for regular DSLRs. I carry it in my purse to capture inspirations everywhere I go. The photos always turn out great, and I love the fact that it has so many capture modes, just like a dSLR.

Did you expect a DSLR? I'll preface this by saying that my photographer friend and I, who both own Canon's excellent 5D DSLR, both purchased a G9 from Amazon to be our "grab-and-go" compact cameras so we would not have to always lug around the 5D and its lenses. We are both members of the local camera club.
Amazon came through with their as-promised delivery time, as usual.
I'll admit that I am totally spoiled by Canon's 5D, and, as such, my G9 expectations were probably bound to remain unreal...

NOT D-SLR REPLACEMENT, BUT I DID. I recently sold all of my D-SLR gear because I couldn't justify the amount of money I spent on it with the little use I was getting out of it. I purchased the G9 for its portability, the hot shoe, and it's RAW capability. It takes some great pictures, but I'm already missing the creamy shallow depth-of-field I was getting with my f/2.8 lenses that I recently sold. I am a Nikon man, but it wasn't difficult for me to make the change to Canon since Nikon doesn't offer a point-and-shoot with RAW cap...

Canon Powershot G9 This is the best Point and Shoot camera you'll find by far. It's like having a DLSR in your pocket. I use this camera when I'm on the go and can't lug my camera bag around with all my equipment. You definitely have to check this camera out.

Not Up to Par The ergonomics of this camera are not up to par with the majority of Canon's products. I own a few Canon cameras EOS 3,EOS 1d, EOS 5d, EOS D20, G7, SD700 IS, & S3 IS. Unfortunately the G9 seems to have taken a different direction. Not a bad camera, just not as spectacular as most Canons. But definitely better than any Sony junk!!!
