Given the success of Canon's highly acclaimed G Series, it's no surprise that ambitious photographers have been eagerly anticipating the next model in its evolution. The wait has paid off handsomely with the introduction of the PowerShot G9. In image quality and functionality, the G9 stands above the competition with 12.1 megapixels of resolution, a 6x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer, and RAW mode for the ultimate in creative control. Sophisticated design and high-quality construction complement the technology and make the G9 a camera to be reckoned with.

The PowerShot Powerhouse: A class-leading 12.1 Megapixel digital camera with unique Canon DIGIC III Image Processor, 6x Optical Zoom and Optical Image Stabilizer. 12.1-megapixel resolution gives you plenty of rich, deep detail to work with. Blow up images to poster size, or enlarge and crop any section without fear of pixelation. DIGIC III Image Processor With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III enables Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots.

I borrowed one and developed a love hate relationship with the G9. It’s small size and my large arthritic hands are a mismatch, but the add-on grip helps. On the other hand it is making a better photographer out of me, no more shoot-zoom-shoot… and hope for the best, I must preplan my shots. After three weeks of use I bought my own. The first one I got was defective; about every 10th shot it really blew the focus. My second copy is flawless.
Its zooms is a little long on the wide side, I found that a slight adjustment of my shooting style overcame this. An accessory lens is available if wider views are a must. The Image Quality is not a good as some of my DSLR glass, but is quite suitable for most of my photography needs. File size (12.1 MP) is almost excessive and it ability to save RAW and JPEG at the same time is a definite plus.
It is a little heavy for a PnS as it is built like a brick, but it still resides comfortably in my pocket for instant use (response time not as good a later DSLR’s, but not all that bad). Its ready access has already given me some shots I would have missed without it.
Would I give up my DSLR’s for it NO, but if I could only own one camera it would be the G9.
