The Canon G9 is the best compact digital camera available, but not quite perfect.

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: I can recommend the Canon G9 for its rugged build, sharp lens, and good controls. Image noise, handling, and price are all just a little less than desirable.
Review: Introduction

My Canon A620 digital camera has been a faithful backup camera for over a year now. It does pretty much everything I ask of it and it's made me a big fan of Canon's A-series cameras. The next step up from this series of camera...

A Lot to love & little not to.

Review: I am not a professional photographer but I have owned several digital cameras, including the Canon G2, G4 and G6. My review here of the latest G9 is based on personal use and a comparison to previous G series cameras. My comments will be general in...

Can Canon G9 be a perfect companion?

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Go Canon!!!!!!
Review: I have been a Canon PowerShot enthusiast for years now. Started from S100, went through S200, S320, S400, SD200, SD550, and my favorite SD700 which I left in India during one of my trips.

Anyways, after SD700 I started looking at G-series...

Canon G9 Sweetness

Date of Review:  Sep 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: Can't go wrong. Packs everything an enthusiast could want into a beautifully designed package. It feels great in your hands. Every PRO should have one too.
Review: I just received this camera last week and already it is a good friend. This camera will especially appeal to photographers who are already using prosumer or pro level Canon D-SLR users or are just interested in the highest level of creative control...

The Bottom Line: Awesome camera due to it numerous setting and user friendly attitude
Review: I have had my canon G9 for approx three wks now. Although I am still learning the basics of the camera, it takes awesome pictures. The camera has more than ample setting for you to take pictures in all sort of environments, to include taking...

Professional control for consumers, a great companion for professionals.

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: The G9 meets a unique middle-ground where professionals can get the quality they need and consumers can get the quality they're not used to having in a compact camera.
Review: Photography is one of my few serious hobbies. Late last year, I bought myself the newest Semi-Professional SLR Canon had to offer -- the EOS 40D. The 40D has traveled almost everywhere with me around the city since then, but it felt like a couple...

Professional Point and Shoot

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you want the best point and shoot camera, buy the G9.
Review: Let me start off by saying that this is just about the best point and shoot camera available right now. This is also the camera that professional photographers use as their pocket, go everywhere camera. The main reason why this camera is so popular...

Pocket Pro Camera

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2008
Review: The best advanced point & shoot on the market. 12.1 mp Designed for the photographer who wants more from their shots than a point and shoot can give and doesn't want to carry around a DSLR.
A big feature is the ability to shoot in RAW mode. If...

Can it get any better?

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 2009
Review: I have to admit, when I purchased this camera I was a little nervous. There was a lot of hype surrounding it. The people at Best Buy, my friends, reviews. I am not afraid to say that it lives up to it. I have had about 4 different point and shoot...
