he very best prosumer camera there is

Date of Review: Jul 1, 2009

Review: Bought this to replace my beloved Sony DSC H1 which I managed to lose. This is without doubt the most well laid out camera I have had. It is really "usable" and encourages one to take photo after photo. The controls have a logic about them and it's...

I can definitely recommend the G9!

Date of Review: Feb 16, 2009

Review: I had intended to buy a digital SLR but the Canon PowerShot G9 Digital Camera was recommended to me as a less heavy alternative. Owned a G9 for 7 months now and still discovering the amazing flexibility of a great camera.

The Canon...

Great piece of kit!

Date of Review: Feb 16, 2009

Review: I use professional Nikon DSLRs, and like other people, wanted a small camera I could put in my pocket when I travel light. I travel a lot, and I have bought maybe five or six compact digitals over the last few years, hoping to find one which really...

Does everything you need!

Date of Review: Feb 16, 2009

Review: I researched online for a long time before settling on the Canon PowerShot G9 Digital Camera and I must say I am absolutely delighted with it. I previously owned a Panasonic Lumix FZ30 which was great in good light but terrible in any other...

The G9 is as good as it gets!

Date of Review: Feb 16, 2009

Review: The Canon Powershot G9 is a 12 megapixel digital camera with a 6x optical zoom lens. Those headline features only tell part of the story as the Powershot G9 is about the most advanced compact camera on the market. In terms of features it has a roll...

Date of Review: Nov 11, 2009

Review: lso a huge fan of sales. Well, after Halloween I hit the Mother lode. Halloween Peeps were 90% off at Target and I snagged a pile of them. I got the pumpkins and the ghosts. I purchased more of the pumpkin packages since you get 24 of those per...

Use this if you don't want to carry heavy DSLR and want to shoot video

Date of Review: Oct 14, 2009

Review: I bought Canon G9 on black friday 2007 at the price of USD$420.00 (MSRP: USD$499.00).
This is a good camera with 12.1 MP. High ISO. Nice photo shoot for normal use. This camera is obviously far more better than those point and shoot camera. If...

Can Canon G9 be a perfect companion?

Date of Review: Mar 17, 2008

The Bottom Line: Go Canon!!!!!!

Review: I have been a Canon PowerShot enthusiast for years now. Started from S100, went through S200, S320, S400, SD200, SD550, and my favorite SD700 which I left in India during one of my trips.

Anyways, after SD700 I started looking at G-series...

Canon G9: Don't buy me!

Date of Review: Dec 3, 2008

The Bottom Line:

For the price, you are better off spending a little more on a true SLR, or a lot less on a point and shoot.

Review: I purchased the Canon G9 2.5 months ago, I have taken pictures on multiple settings and it is an inferior product that takes average pictures. I had a Canon PowerShot S70 for about 5 years until I broke it. It would have cost $145 to fix so i...
