- love it
I love this camera. I really like the photo stitch and the color swap. It's a good size camera, not too big, not too small. People with big hands may have problems with some of the buttons being too small though. I don't have big hands so it's not a problem for me. I would recommend getting a different flash if you want a more professional look and any other accessories you can afford like the wide angle kit. I don't believe you will find a better camera until you go up to a digital SLR.

- Rather fun to use
I have had this camera for a few weeks, and its been great. Its not perfect but it is really fun to use. This is an upgrade for me from a Samsung D53, so I was quite excited to put the Canon strap around my neck and take a look through the glorious 3" LCD II screen. The Macro and Manual zoom modes have been great as has the auto-focus.

Noise is still a bit of an annoyance, so I generally keep the ISO setting below 200. It takes so-so images in the upper ISO settings, but just don't try to crop them. A lot of my photography I just like to set the camera on a tripod and take a picture. This is where the 2 second timer release really shines. This image IS works very well though. I have taken a picture at 1/3 of a second and the exposure has turned out just fine.

What really bugs me about this camera is the definition you lose when you take a picture of grass or something and the detail just doesn't pop like you want it. I had it on a tripod and was shooting the sunrise, and the grass on the knoll was just... "fuzzy". But, its what I expect with a P&S without a zoom lens.

Still, I suggest this camera as a viable option for a d-SLR alternative.

- Great Results So Far
I have had this camera for a few months now and find it absolutely incredible. Shots are great and it's a very easy camera to get to know even with all the bells and whistles. Iso 800 is almost completely useless though... way too much noise in photos. Keep it to to the lower Iso levels and you're golden. The landscape photography excellent with it although I'd recommend getting a lens adapter so you can put some filters on the camera. A polarizing filter is a must when shooting landscapes. Opt for an aluminum filter from Lensmate as opposed to the cheap plastic one from Canon. You will spend about $5 more but it will be well worth it.

Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
This camera has restored the fun in photography for me. Let me explain: I am 80 years old, started out with a Speed Graphic using the Ansel Adams Zone System, graduated to a Linhof Technica V with all the extras, downsized to an Olympus OM-1, then a Canon EOS 35mm with most of the extras, got older and grew tired of toting all that gear and, in 2000, gave it all up for snapshots with a Canon Digital Power Shot 100. Shot lots of 2.1 MP stuff and quickly lost all interest in photography. But the spark was still smouldering so this year (2008)I bought a Canon G9 and started shooting again. Wow! It's like my Linhof days with 2 pounds of equipment (including the tripod) instead of fifty pounds.
There's an abundance of technical reviews on the G9 so I'll skip that and move on to the REAL reason I give it 5 stars: When I put this little digital tank on a tripod and set it on M (manual) it reminds me of my 4x5 days, under a focus cloth composing on a 4x5 screen or peeking though a mirror back and checking parallex, depth of field, and composition. When I scroll through the aperture and exposure settings it reminds me of my spot meter days of evaluation except, with this little jewel, you see the final result BEFORE you press the shutter.
What I missed most was the way 4x5 slowed you down and made you study your subject. You weren't after 10 shots bracketed, you were after 1 shot carefully composed and technically structured. There was something special about getting to know your environment while you took the time to compoose and evaluate or wait for the right sky conditions. 35mm didn't satisfy, it simply motivated me to become a quick shot bracketed shooter. And, like 4x5, it hid its final result until after the darkroom.
So - if you REALLY want to experience the shot and put it in your memory bank, get this camera, put it on a tripod, and ENJOY photography. And, when circumstances dictate, just whip it out, point and shoot on auto, and get the shot. Either way, this camera excels. Then there's always RAW if you miss the darkroom and want to adventure into Adobe's Creative Suite.
Happy Shooting!
