The G9 has been hyped as the compact camera that professionals like to use. The biggest reason for this is that the G9 supports a host of professional lighting and strobing equipment that are usually found in professional DSLRs, and that it has a good...

The reason I shot at ISO 80 was purely for the sake of image clarity. The cameras ISO levels are perfectly usable till ISO 400, after which, the digital noise in the images may become an issue. The image below was shot in ISO 800.At ISO 1600 the image...

Higher ISO noise, Purple pixel fringing, FlexiZone AF issues, Blocky styling, Auto white balance issues.
And so, the problems found on the G7 have been largely fixed on the G9 – to a degree. It’s the same price as the G7 at £330, so no more expensive but it is a better camera. The lens is sharp and crisp but could still do with the faster apertures of t...

While neither the footage nor inch scale is densely calibrated (e.g., the footage scale has numbers for 2, 5, 10 ft and infinity), the position of the top of the bar indicator will give you a reasonable idea of your set focusing distance. You can also...

No need to lug a DSLR to every outing—the PowerShot G9 saves room in your beach bag for more sandwiches. The PowerShot G9 is a “prosumer” camera, neither fish nor fowl in a world that otherwise clearly defines point-and-shoot versus fu...

Shoots RAW images. Highly configurable. Big features in a small package.
Pricey.

While it’s a worthy camera in most ways, the Canon PowerShot G9 doesn’t offer many compelling advantages over lower-priced competitors. It’s hard to recommend it as a reasonable value.

Superb image quality; lots of control options; reliable image stabilization; RAW mode; handsome chassis.
Near-useless optical viewfinder; confusing control menus; modest zoom range; expensive.

Until the arrival of the G7 last September the majority of observers had written off Canons prosumer G range, presuming that the arrival of affordable digital SLRs had effectively killed the market for high-end compacts such as this. Barely a year...

I should start by giving Canon a little credit for so quickly responding to at least some of the criticisms of the G7; the G9 may be a relatively minor upgrade but it does knock a few of the rough edges off its predecessor and - most importantly - bri...

The Canon Powershot G9 looks to all intents and purposes exactly like its predecessor, the G7, but underneath the serious matt black exterior are a veritable wealth of changes. This is a 12.1 megapixel digital camera - up from the G7s 10 megapixels...

The Canon Powershot G9 is both a worthy upgrade to the previous G7 model and a real alternative or backup to an entry-level DSLR camera, thanks largely to the return of RAW mode. It offers the ultimate control over image quality for those prepared to...

Canon’s PowerShot G9 was announced in August 2007 alongside the EOS 40D and a raft of new compacts. There was no G8 – Canon skipped direct to the G9 which makes it the successor the last year’s G7. It comes just 11 months later and like...

6x optical zoom with IS and decent macro, Flash hotshoe for Speedlites and wireless, Dedicated ISO dial and control wheel, Great manual exposure and RAW support.
No flip-out screen, nor much grip to speak of, Noise at 400 ISO and above, Modest AF speed and slow continuous shooting, A650 IS and EOS 400D compelling alternatives.
Ultimately the PowerShot G9 may not be without its faults, but there’s simply few if any alternatives which offer this degree of control and flexibility in a pocketable form factor. There are certainly smaller compacts out there, but none have the G...
