No Professional Photographers Here...
I purchased my G9 In March. I wanted a D10, however have a 2 year old and figured this smaller camera would be more practical when we are out and about...and boy, was I right! This camera is amazing! I am definitely NOT a professional photographer, however get professional looking pictures every shot. There are so many features! I especially love the Aquarium setting! Have you ever taken a picture at the aquarium? Normally you can see the flash on the glass and the fish are discolored..well, not anymore!! The images come out crystal clear, as if you are standing in front of the tanks!LCD cover cracked within 2 months and Canon refused warranty repair
Until Canon can improve the design of this model to improve the cover over the LCD display from than the current flimsy piece of plastic, do NOT get a powershot G9. I owned mine for 2 months before the cover over the LCD display cracked. This after I owned my last camera - an Olympus Infinity Zoom - for 5 years without any problem. The only reason I'm replacing it is because of the better technologies available. Another reason not to buy this model - Canon's customer service and warranty dept are awful. We are a small non-profit and they not only refused to fix our camera under warranty - trying to charge us $160 to replace a cracked piece of plastic - but they were VERY rude in the process. Goodbye Canon. Never another camera from this horrible company.Obsolete item
Since the new G10 does everything this camera does plus a bit more why on Earth would anyone buy a G9 for 150 dollars more?Great camera - don't buy it
The Canon G9 is a great camera with terrific features - it is just so unreliable you shouldn't buy it. I have been told that I now need to send the camera back for the 2nd time to get it repaired. Since I now have owned the camera for a year they say it may cost up to $380. I bought the camera to take pictures on trips, the latest problem though occured just in the middle of shooting at home. Not sure I want to even keep the camera even if I get it fixed (and I just bought a dive case for it that I haven't used it yet) because if you can't trust your camera it doesn't matter how many features it has.Canon G9
Better images than the new G10 (I have both). I do like the G10s wider angle lens however. Both this and the G10 are great high end point and shoots. Best uses are landscapes and subjects that are still. If you want to shoot action, buy a DSLR. Built like a tank and fits perfectly into the "take it everywhere" class.Keyword : canon+digital+cameras
