Best Point-and-Shoot [Posted on 2008-09-10]
This is the best point-and-shoot that I've owned. The only problem that I have is the size. Not that it's that large, but kind of big to carry in your pocket. Great camera though.
Canon G9 camera [Posted on 2008-09-10]
Hello. I am loving this camera.
have been able to get some great shots with the zoom, and the colour is wonderful.
What's up with the price? [Posted on 2008-09-10]
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?
i love the camera, but i'm realistic [Posted on 2008-09-12]
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.
maybe it takes good pictures [Posted on 2008-09-26]
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.
