Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Amazon's Own Claim Code Not Valid?
Summary: 5 Stars
Great camera, but when I try to enter the "7ACBUY5F" claim code to get the free 2g gard, it will not let me. WTF, Amazon?
Please let us know what is up with the disappearing freebie offer ASAP, so we can beat the Dec 3 deadline.
Digital camera Review: Another jump in the right direction for Canon Mid Range
Summary: 5 Stars
Canon just keeps moving in the right direction.
Crisp and clear photos that reach very near SLR quality.
Large/clear LCD display.
Excellent Macro mode.
Easy to use, plus the ability to tweak and adjust the settings.
2 Months of use so far and I have no complaints.
If it's time to make the jump to 12mp, you cant go wrong here.
Digital camera Review: Aperture mistake
Summary: 5 Stars
The aperture of the Canon G9 is listed at 2.8 to 4.8 in the Amazon specs but should be 2.8 to 8. That's what my G9 tells me it has.
This cam is a dream. I use the optical viewfinder when the LCD is useless in bright sunlight. The cam fits in a pocket and is comparatively lightweight. My Sony minicams are nice to carry everywhere but the G9 is more powerful without needing wheels to carry it around.
Now I gotta find out why the price went from $430+ to $1100+ - is the G9 now not the G9 of the past?
Digital camera Review: As good as it gets for a point & shoot
Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon G9 is as good as you can find in the small point and shoot format. It is an extremely sophisticated camera that that can do almost anything that you can do with a SLR camera. Although it is a 12 mpx camera it isn't quite up to the same quality as a SLR since it's sensor is smaller, but it is still very good.
It isn't easy to learn how to use and requires hours of study to learn how the various buttons work. It does do a very reasonable job as a point and shoot when set in the automatic mode for those who don't feel like using the built in features of this camera. For those who do their own printing, you can use camera RAW which gives you extreme versitiliy in getting the best out of a photograph.
I have both this camera and a Nikon D80. This camera is much easier to take on a trip and you can put it in your pocket if you have to and that is a plus.
I strongly recommend this product for someone that wants quality in their photographs. It also reduces blur from camera shake so that your pictures are sharp even if you move the camera as you press the shutter release
Digital camera Review: Avoid
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this camera for many months and absolutely loved it... until the "dust problem". Now, I have a large grey squiggle and spots that are very visible on the LCD as well as on images shot with the camera. Prior to this, there were dust particles on the *inside* of the lens that could not be removed, but this did not affect the image quality. I suspect I now have dust on the image sensor itself. Now that it's out of warranty, I'm out of luck since Canon won't help me without charging me for repair. This is a widespread problem on the G7, G9 and the new G10.

Be warned. If you don't have this problem initially, you inevitably will.
