Review compared to G7 I had the opportunity to get my hands on the G9 a week ago and have used it exclusively for the past week.
Based on my personal observations (And I loved the G7):
I see practically no differences in Image Quality at all. I thought the G7 was superb, and I find the G9 to be superb.
The 12 MP is practically indifferent from the 10 MP on the G7. Sure it gives you slightly more pixel to play with for cropping and printing, but negligibly so.

Great point & shoot for a pro I am a professional landscape photographer and I wanted a small point & shoot to have handy to grab pictures of my family as well as keep in the car at all times. The G9 delivers on all counts. I was waiting for Canon to release a point & shoot that could capture in RAW format, and when I heard about the G9 and after hearing lots of great things about the G7, I knew this would be the camera for me.

Small, powerful camera Theres really not much difference between the new 12.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot G9 and the 10 megapixel PowerShot G7 it replaces. They pretty much look alike.

Canon G9 Comments I've had my G9 for a couple of weeks and I'm pleased with it. It will not replace my Canon DSLRs, but will go with me when they will not.
Image quality is quite good, up to ISO 200. Shooting in RAW 400 and 800 are usable, with the provided Adaptive Noise processing (ZoomBrowser or ImageBrowser) doing a good job in cleaning up the RAW image. The 2 megapixel ISO 3200 SCN mode can be used for social events, in a pinch.
My LCD has no objectionable color cast nor leakage. ... [Read 's Complete Review for Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (2082B001) at Amazon.com] |
