Product Description
For those who want more than just a point and shoot experience without the complexity or bulk of a Digital SLR, the Canon Powershot 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 in a relatively small package complement the technology and make the G9 a camera to be reckoned with. Built-in Flash modes - Auto, Auto w/ Red-eye Reduction, Flash On, Flash On w/ Red-eye Reduction, Flash Off; FE lock, Safety FE, Slow Synchro, Second-curtain synchro White Balance Controls - Auto, Preset (Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Flash, Underwater), Custom1, Custom2 ISO Sensitivity - Auto, High ISO Auto, ISO 80/100/200/400/800/1600 equivalent Memory card slot supports SD/SDHC, MultiMediaCard (MMC), MMC Plus, and HC MMC Plus Cards A 32MB MMC Plus Card is included, however we suggest purchasing an Optional 2GB memory card.

 maybe it takes good pictures September 26, 2008

I bought the G9 several months ago and planned to use it as an underwater camera. I am leaving on a dive trip in several weeks and checked the new camera. The screen is cracked. I have yet to take the first picture with the camera. A cracked screen of a brand new camera is evidently not covered by warranty to the tune of $170. Well .... maybe it takes good picture.
Signed pissed off
 Great Camera September 22, 2008
I bought the canon G9 back in June from here at Amazon just before I left for World Youth Day in Sydney in July. I did a lot of research because I wanted the best. This is by far the best digital camera I've owned so far, the last being a canon S80. I was not disappointed!
The pictures come out crystal clear with a nice light balance in Automatic setting. I was with a group of people and we were at a cathedral way in the back and I was able to zoom in all the way and get good shots. The other guys I was with tried to get a good shot with their cameras but theirs came out very blurry or too dark. They asked me to send my pics to them!!
It is a little big for some, but my gosh, the quality of the camera totally outweighs the ultra compact designs. For me it wasn't too bulky because I have pretty large hands.
If you've been shopping for a new digital camera, look no further. This one takes the cake!
 i love the camera, but i'm realistic September 12, 2008

i really do love this camera; it's great for flexibility and creativity. there's no doubt about that. but there are fair amount of cons:
1) can be VERY noisy since they cram so many megapixels on that smaller sensor
2) had to have it fixed when it first arrived because there were hot pixels in every picture
3) there is a design flaw in the lens. even though it is airtight, if there is ANY dust inside the camera to begin with, the movement of the lens creates a static charge that pulls the dust right into view and has become evident in several of my pictures
i bought it for $430 brand new several months ago, but i think it's probably appropriately worth about $350. now that it's selling around $600 i would just get a lower megapixel DSLR that takes clearer pictures.
 What's up with the price? September 10, 2008

The Canon USA web site lists the suggested retail at $499.99 and one of the most popular online camera shops (B&H) is pricing it at about that. Why is it so much more than that from Amazon vendors?
