CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: A cornucopia of features; zippy; built like a tank. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: Relatively significant distortion at the widest angle of view; when zoomed out completely, lens intrudes into viewfinder; no optical zoom during movie capture.
The bottom line: The Canon PowerShot G9 is a solid enthusiast camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR.

Pros: easy to hold, user friendly, versatile,adapable, rugged, reliable and fun to use
Cons: no date stamp on front lower right corner imprinted automatically
Opinion:
I have owned a number of P and S digicams in the past, including 3 very nice ones ( olympus SD350-- Canonm A710is--and Panasonic DMC TZ-3) and a passle of poor performers by Kodak, HP, and others...I have graduated to the ultimate FINAL choice for me ,because I feel comfortable with it and it has all I can ask for in a P and S digicam.. The technology advancements in digicams proceed at a rapid pace..Improvements, upon improvements are the hallmarks of Digicam manufacturers. Each trying to outbest the other..Ultimately , the researching consumer for digicams has to"DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND" and STOP at a entity that makes sense for his or her photographic wants, and needs.. I have gone full circle w/ P and S digicams, being unstatisfied, un saciated and unforfilled ... Read more

Pros: has raw ability compare to G7. Slightly bigger sensor compare to G7. Hot shoe is a plus point but how many consumers is really going to fork out that much extra for it.
Cons: still the king of red lines.
Opinion:
So much people talk about noise level. Sure is slightly better than panasonics and much better than most. But Canon with their latest G9 still has Red Lines issues. Pictures thou has better noise control at ISO 400 compare to Panasonic LX-2 but is not as sharp in details.
Their minimum shutter is still a real let down only 15 sec still. Does not make a good night scenc camera.
View wise still at 35mm when others are going in the direction of 28mm.
Pictures taken at night without flash aid gives very un-natural colors.
Panasonic's LX-2 is any time better when comparing pictures up close.
