This camera has a lot of hidden features: he instruction book in English for Canon PowerShot G9 is 275 pages long! If that is not daunting in itself, the big-handed person will have to struggle a little with the small buttons. On the positive side, there is the point-and-shoot mode: just hold the camera steady while looking at the subject in the bright 3" diagonal screen and press the shutter button. About 90% of the time, the resulting picture is most satisfactory. Perusing the instruction book is worth a bit of time. Spending time fiddling with the options wheel on the top of the camera will tell you a lot as well. Settings to overcome the brown/yellow cast of incandescent light, or to use a wide-open shutter for night photos are just two functions worth learning if the picture you want is more than a bit challenging. This camera is intended for the casual photographer, who occasionally needs something a bit out of the usual for the picture being sought. Read full review

A nice camera but it takes a few beats to renew between shots. If you want to take a series of quick photos you may have trouble with the speed of recovery. The adjustable lense is good as is the overall compact size.

Everything a budding photographer need without the bulk of an SLR Camra. It shoots in Jpg and also the professional format, RAW. Easy to carry around and so easy to use. It has many features that will amaze you. The quality of the lens is amazing, good sharp images. A type of camera that is easy to carry around, so you will never miss a opportunity to catch that one in a lifetime photo.

This is an absolutely amazing camera. I did extensive research before purchasing and most people seemed to agree that there was no real reason to seek out the further iterations of the G-series. The G10 it seemed was arguably a backstep in some areas and the G11 and G12 do not show significant enough image quality improvements to warrant the extra money they'll cost. Also, the G9 has a longer zoom than all of them - if you're interested in nature photos, which this is great for. The one problem with this is that it suffers on the wide end. Honestly though I could not have been happier with this camera... except for it's one fatal flaw. And I mean fatal. Google "G9 no power" you'll get quite a few hits. Apparently there are two screws that work themselves out over the life of the camera and can short the main board... So while the pictures taken by this camera and the controls offered are beyond compare I wouldn't recommend getting it unless you want to bring it to a camera shop to have these two secured. I give it such a high rating based on the quality so long as it is working. It is truly unfortunate that Canon made such a beautiful camera without correcting this flaw.Read full review
Little G9 camera does a terrific job of quality photos for both close ups and landscapes. Its size and weight make it a daily companion in in my purse and enables me to no miss any of those KODAK moments. Even has decent video capabilities. I take 1000's of photos a year. Its pricing makes replacement more feasible than investing in repairs/a newer model.
