Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Digital camera Review: Great Camera when it works
Summary: 2 Stars

In the overall picture this is and should be a great little camera. You can talk about the tech specs all day if you want
I like it because of the 12mp and movie/time Lapse function , it's basic but it's fine for entry level/fun time Lapse movies. I used the movie function quite a bit.
It's a good way of documenting an event and the quality seem good on play back. I also like the metal body. OK Heres the BAD I bought it in January 08 after about 6 months it completely quit on me with no warning. You hit the power button and nothing happens. Just like the batteries are dead so I get another battery and nothing.
So off to Canon it goes (Chicago) Comes back good but no explanation of the problem. So now I posting this in Frankfurt Germany on vacation at a friend's place
We went to Paris.. You know the place. And the camera DOES IT AGAIN !!! Now I'm really mad. I have found this camera to be unreliable when I need it most.
The first time should have fixed it for good but the second time in Paris, please !! I gave it 2 stars. Praise this camera all you but if it doesn't turn on it's just a worthless brick in your bag. I will have it fixed again at Canon then put it on ebay....
