I bought this camera for my daughter. She did the research and asked for this specific camera. She wanted a small, compact, high-quality camera. I am a Nikon person, so it almost hurt to purchase a different brand of camera. As soon as she received it, she started taking pictures. She showed me some of the features and I was amazed. She took one picture of a restaurant menu which was on the wall and it was very clear - you could read everything. After she showed me this, she zoomed out to show me that the picture was actually taken from a block away!
I may be purchasing another one for myself...

This is my first digital camera. Coming from forty years of manual 35mm and medium format tools I anticipated a plastic toy computer with a lens and a myriad of buried menues. Not the case. This little guy is more camera than video game and when fitted with a lensmate adapter and canon's wide angle lens it becomes an approx. 25mm-150mm zoomed lens Leica at a fraction of the cost. No need to pixel-peep, the printed images are as good as what every other higher end non-DSLR is kicking out these days. My only minor problem is that the camera and its buttons are a little too small for my hands. I would gladly give up some compactness for a more robust tactile feel. Dito for the 12mp sensor. 8mp with larger sensor sites would have reduced the noise at the higher ISO's.

I bought the G9 and thought it was a very nice, well built camera that has something very cool in terms of design, build and quality.
BUT . . . it's just too bulky and it bothered me every time I used it and just carrying it around. It is not pocketable. And as someone who studied industrial design and knows the competing cameras, market and technology I can not see why the camera is so heavy and bulky compared to other 10-12MP cameras. If it had a large sensor it would be understandable. But mainly, as a second camera to one's DSLR/SLR or other it just doesn't make sense. It is sharp and very good, but nothing greater than the competition. It is also quite complicated, offering great features but not easy, super fast or intuitive.
I returned my G9. I bought the new Ricoh GRD2 yesterday and love love love the form factor, being about half the size and weight of the G9, easier to use and seemingly more of a photographers camera akin to small Contax cameras, Rollei 35, or a Minox (35) yet even smaller.
If size doesn't matter to you, the G9 is wonderful and a good value (can get for just over $400 now). But the Ricoh is truly pocketable and delight in addition to feeling to be a better photographer's tool.
Hope this helps.

The body is metal and quite robust. The lens totally sucks. Unlike the Canon S80 this lens is not very wideangle at 35 mm versus 28 mm in the S80. The pin cushion distortion when the G9 is at its widest is horrible. The color rendition is fine. I also like the fact that it will take both raw and jpeg images. The poorly engineered and fabricated lens was a deal breaker. I returned the camera to amazon for a credit and bought something else. This expensive point and shoot camera is scheduled for replacement in August 08. Hopefully Canon will do better the next time because this camera in its form factor has tremendous potential for enthussiast and hobbyist photographers alike.

I decided to invest in another digital camera a few months ago and started to research cameras. I'm not a camera buff and didn't really want to be but I do want to learn enough to take good pictures. The G9 had consistantly good reviews. I checked it out at a camera store to make sure it felt right. Amazon had the best price. There are some cheaper ones but look out for what they don't put in the box (like batteries and charger) One of the things that put this camera over the top for me was the fact that it offered the ability to take RAW pics.
The camera is easy to use. I am still learning all of its features, of which it has many, many. It will take me awhile. I am very happy with it and look forward to taking even more pictures. It's been a great camera for me and I'm very happy with my purchase.

I'm very disapointed that Canon did not put the pistol grip on this camera. I caught one on display at Best Buy but I was very disapointed that the pistol grip was not included on the model. I have arthritic hands and the pistol grip really helped me quite a bit to hold the camera. On this grip they have now, no wait, there is no grip!! It's just a thin small rubberized strip, thinner than a pencil. When I held it, my thumb was on the setting on back, which I was afraid, would really mess up my shots if I wasn't careful. To me, I guess it's more of a feeling of comfort for the grip and this was disapointing. It felt like I was holding a 2x4. I won't be buying one of these. Why Canon wouldn't put the grip on, I don't know. I'll either go with the 10mp or to one of the DSLR's. Canon--- you need to remake the G9!!!

I bought this camera while traveling on assignment overseas for several internationally known guidebook publishers. In short, I'm very disappointed with the model. I've always used cameras from the Cannon G series but this is a big step backwards. Because there is no cover for the view screen, it scratches quickly. The automatic lens shutters sticks and does not close correctly. Thus the lens itself becomes quickly scratched and flaws show up in photos. In an unrelated manner, block blotched also begin to appear in photos after only a couple of months of use. Stay away from the G9. Buy and earlier model or another brand altogether.

After months of reading reviews and waiting for the release of the G9, I finally purchased one (arrived quicker then declared with good protective packaging).
5 days and some 100s of pictures later I am still exploring its wonderful functionality.
No, it isn't tens of menus with sub menus of unnecessary features; it is the full manual ability that gives you great artistic and photographic control.
Learn to use this `jewelry anvil' (smallish, sturdy and heavy) and you will have very few excuses for not taking that shot that you can see in your head.
I don't know much from first hand on the competition in regards to speed, but from a complete subjective point of view, this camera is sufficiently fast, it shoots quickly an image after image with or without flash, Jpeg, Jpeg+ RAW at full resolution and quality (on a cheap no name 2GB SD card!) and it seems to ask for more.
All together you can use this camera as creatively as you want using part or all manual modes, with the simplicity for your basic; kids, pets, family, all round photography in all automatic modes.
I prefer ergonomics over fashion statements, a larger grip, a real thumb rest could help a lot,
I would happily give the 2 extra mega pixels the G9 does over the G7 for a wider lens. ..

I love this camera. I really like the photo stitch and the color swap. It's a good size camera, not too big, not too small. People with big hands may have problems with some of the buttons being too small though. I don't have big hands so it's not a problem for me. I would recommend getting a different flash if you want a more professional look and any other accessories you can afford like the wide angle kit. I don't believe you will find a better camera until you go up to a digital SLR.

this was my first digital camera. i picked this camera based on reviews, reputation and size. when it arrived, i found out that 32mb is not enough memory, so i bought 8 gb SDHC Transcend 8GB SDHC CARD (SD 2.0 SPD Class 6). i noticed two things while using this camera. (1) it did not seem to perform well in low light. (2) when i encountered the "lens error" or stuck lens,after a few weeks of use, i decided to return the camera. i ended up buying the panasonic lumix fz50 Panasonic DMC-FZ50 10.1MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) instead. it is larger and heavier, but i am very happy with the camera.

I write as a very disappointed owner of a Power Shot G2 - purchased in 2002 for $850.00. I recently changed my laptop to one with a Windows Vista operating system. Canon does not provide drivers for the G2 to download pictures onto Vista. So I can no longer download directly via cable from camera to PC. I have just purchased a card reader ($30) - hopefully it works, otherwise I will no longer be able to print, share or store my photos taken on an expensive camera purchased only 5 years ago. I called Canon technical support about this. They were very unhelpful and complacent. Essentially, they said technology changes and they could or would do nothing about it. The lesson here is clear : DON'T RISK BUYING EXPENSIVE CAMERAS, PRINTERS, SCANNERS ETC. FROM A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T THINK LONG TERM SUPPORT IS IMPORTANT !! BUYERS BEWARE !!

I bought my G9 when it first came out last September. It was fine for a few months, but a couple of months ago I noticed a big, about the size of a nickel, splotch in the upper right corner - inside where it can't be cleaned. I called Canon service and now I have to send my camera in to be cleaned. I hope they are fast sending it back and I hope this is not a recurring theme.
It is now over a year later and I'm following up my complaint from last year. After I sent my camera back to Canon to remove the big splotch in the upper right corner, I received it back in less than a week. The splotch was gone and I have never had this problem again. Canon's service was fantastic. If I knew how, I would up my 3 stars to 5. This camera is still going strong with excellent photos.

There's already really reviews of this camera, but I thought I'd throw in my perspective from a professional photographer's perspective.
Pros:
--Sturdy, stylish, and compact. Treat this camera well and it could last a while.
--RAW is definitely a plus, and if you care about about taking higher quality photos, shoot in RAW when you can.
--Manual control
--C1 and C2 presets useful. You can save camera settings and recall them when needed.
--Bracketing shots good
--Face recognition is good but it doesn't work as easy as it should
--LCD screen very useful for framing subjects
--Preview exposure. Using the LCD screen, you get some good ideas about the exposure and framing of your photos before taking your shots.
Cons:
--Noise level is a big turn off for me. Shooting above ISO 200 typically causes invites noise issues.
--Some controls/features a little awkward to reach
--12MPs is not really needed. A lot of shots can be taken at lower pixel levels.
Overall, the G9 is a good compact camera. It's a little pricey, so if you decide to get this camera, use it to it's fullest, not just as a simple point-and-shoot.

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

First off, I purchased this camera for a SLR replacement for traveling light. I have a Nikon D80 and would not recommend any other camera for the amature photographer.
Pros-
1. Very solid camera.
2. Takes excellent Macro shots
3. Raw capabilities
4. Thats about it for the pros
Cons--
1. Expensive. you can buy a SLR cheaper. If size is the issue, try the Nikon d40x
2. Poor image quality. Yes it is a 12mp camera, but mp is not everything.
3. Flash is very weak
4. Video quality is poor. No zoom capabilities
5. Sounds horrible on startup. Lense sounds like its about to break when extended
Well this sums up my honest to god truth. I have always liked Canons G line but this one was such a waste of money. Do not buy!!!!!!!

I love it, It feels so great. It even makes me horny at times. It is heavy and solid, which helps you feel like you have a real camera and it helps stabilize your shots, as oppose to lighter cameras.ItStrap around your neck like an SLR not on you wrist, which I love too. Has all kind of cool features that as a wannabe photographer, you can have fun playing with it to get the best result. I suggest getting the extra battery cause it will trick you in to thinking it has a lot of juice left and then it runs out of battery. It happen to me when I was getting to the end of a 3 hour hike in Zion National Park, and all of a sudden, NO BATTERY. But that was my bad, I should have known... The screen is great in terms of resolution and size. Makes your pictures look pro. Then you can work your pictures with the canon program and make them even better with some cropping, brightness and color and contrast adjustment. They have enough quality so you can crop and still have great quality, no grains. The panoramic software is great and easy to use, you just take the pictures and it will guide you through each step to get an amazing panoramic or even 360 picture.

As a working professional photographer, I think this is the best point-and-shoot around. This is my second G9 (the first died tragically when the Canon underwater housing leaked). What is most useful for me is the high pixel count and RAW mode. The images are definitely noisy at ALL iso's, especially in the shadow areas, but nothing I can't live with. This is my recreational camera and the underwater color balance setting for video makes this camera a standout for all of the time I spend with wild dolphins, whales and sharks (check out examples at mauidon on blogspot). I have even used this camera in a pinch for work and images can be seen in national magazines.

I purchased this camera a few months ago and since have had a major problem with it. The lens became stuck in the extended position and a "lens error" message would appear when turned on. I called canon about it and was told to send it in. I sent it in thinking they would honor their warranty. A week later I recieved an estimate to fix it for $127.00. To get out of their warranty, in their description of camera they claimed there were several dents and scratches in the casing and lcd screen plus the lens problem. The camera had no dents nor scratches. The person I had shipped it through even looked it over and found nothing wrong with it except the lens problem when I had him insure it for shipping. This is how they get out of honoring their warranty. They lie.

I really looked around before deciding on this camera, because for just a little more I could have gotten a pretty decent DSLR kit. But when I thought about what I use a camera to do, I came back to the G9. I want to be able to take it with me places and have it when a photo op appears, I want to be able to shoot a lot of pictures of people and not scare them off when I'm shooting, I want to be able to stick the camera on a tripod and play around with some macro shots, I want to shoot a short movie clip here and there when babies are suddenly making noises or learning to roll over, and I want to really have full control over the camera and be able to make quick adjustments to all exposure controls. The G9 does all of these things, and it's interesting to note that a DSLR cannot do some of those things. Bottom line for me was that I can carry the G9 almost all the time - it even slips into my back pocket. I can pull it out to snap a shot, and probably have time to recompose a second or third before anyone notices I'm taking pictures. I can switch over to movie mode and back to stills with no difficulty. And it takes phenomenal pictures. It definitely has its limitations, but it can take some great pictures if you work with and around the camera's abilities. I'm keeping it, and if you want to borrow mine then maybe you should get your own.

This camera is great. I own a 5D, and i was a little hesitant to buy the G9. I wanted a small camera I could take with me on vacation, instead of my big, heavy, expensive bag of gear. The pics look great(200 ISO and under). The video looks real good for a compact camera. All pics, and videos look good, with a good amount of light. When you are in low light situations is gets a little noisy. The price is amazing for what your getting, even for Canon. They usually are a little over priced. If you are debating weather or not to get it, GET IT!

Pros: capable of shooting RAW, Image Stablization, clear video, panorama mode (keep wb/shutter/aperture the same), battery life is good, nice shot mode (flash, but keep the shutter slow to capture the background)
Cons: I don't like the LCD screen, too grainy. Price. Neck strap.
I was gonna use it as my DSLR backup, but it really is just a good point&shoot. Not ready for a backup for DSLR.
Overall, I have no regret, it's a nice camera.

The Canon PS G9 is a perfect camera for someone who is beginning in photography and is looking to learn. The manual settings are easy to use and the pictures come out great. The ability to shoot both JPG and RAW is an incredible feature that is mostly found in professional series cameras, I love that you can add lens and filters to give your shots a more artistic feel. Overall a great camera, if you wish to see some examples please view my porfolio at [...] . All of my shots where taken with the G9

I love this camera...I took it on my trip to Italy and the big screen, along with the ease of use made this camera an excellent choice in my opinion. It is a little bigger than some of the cameras today but well worth the extra weight. It not only took fantastic pictures but it took short videos etc. I highly recommend this camera!
