Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Camera Article

In the overall picture this is and should be a great little camera. You can talk about the tech specs all day if you want
I like it because of the 12mp and movie/time Lapse function , it’s basic but it’s fine for entry level/fun time Lapse movies. I used the movie function quite a bit.
It’s a good way of documenting an event and the quality seem good on play back. I also like the metal body. OK Heres the BAD I bought it in January 08 after about 6 months it completely quit on me with no warning. You hit the power button and nothing happens. Just like the batteries are dead so I get another battery and nothing.
So off to Canon it goes (Chicago) Comes back good but no explanation of the problem. So now I posting this in Frankfurt Germany on vacation at a friend’s place
We went to Paris.. You know the place. And the camera DOES IT AGAIN !!! Now I’m really mad. I have found this camera to be unreliable when I need it most.
The first time should have fixed it for good but the second time in Paris, please !! I gave it 2 stars. Praise this camera all you but if it doesn’t turn on it’s just a worthless brick in your bag. I will have it fixed again at Canon then put it on ebay….

If you're hoping to sell images over the internet or create high quality images with minimal effort then read on to find out about my experience of the Canon Powershot G9, a powerful camera indeed.

I'd wanted to get a decent camera for some time, but upon visiting a large electrical goods store I found that there was quite simply far more choice than I could have anticipated. It left me feeling a little lost but I kept my aim in mind - acquiring a camera able to take very high quality pictures without too much fuss that I could use to build up a picture library of stock photos - and plodded on.

Whilst high quality was of paramount importance I wasn't on a limitless budget. Top of the line digital cameras can fetch many thousands of dollars, but I didn't have that much to spend. So as well as being good quality I was keeping my eye on price too. Now it was down to the cameras to get me interested. Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Camera With so many choices the one that I chose would need to be able to offer up something special. As I'd been reading up on digital cameras in anticipation of my purchase I'd heard that the Powershot G9 was getting quite a few semi-professional and professional users interested. I'd heard a lot about Canon anyway, and this coupled with the opinions of some pros gave me a good feeling. As such I decided to find out more.

When I asked to take a look at a Powershot G9 the store attendant handed me a compact kind of camera which I found pleasing. The large cameras can be a nuisance to haul around everywhere so I was hoping to get something I could take with me easily. The camera felt robust with a pleasing weightiness that reassured me of its quality. I also liked the cameras visual design which had hints of old-style cameras - the retro stylings were certainly funky.

Having taken in the visible aspects of the G9 I inquired more into its technological features. Featuring a 12.1MP camera and a 6X zoom built-in I was feeling pretty enthused already. Furthermore, the files are stored in raw format which makes for higher quality images, although they do take up a lot of space on a memory card.

The cameras ISO is 400 which meant it could take decent pictures in poor lighting, although when the pictures are viewed at large sizes the quality isn't perfect which is a slight downside.

However, one of the most important features to me was the camera's automatic functions. Handling focus, flash, and exposure on its own meant I didn't have to worry about any complicated controls. This allowed me to focus on the fun of taking pictures rather than worrying about whether I'd managed to get all the settings right. Beyond this the camera had lots of scene modes to cover all eventualities and can even record video. This is a fantastic camera which I'm truly impressed with.
