Canon PowerShot G9 review: Canon PowerShot G9
The Canon PowerShot G9 is a solid enthusiast camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR. Design No, you're not having déjà vu -- the Canon PowerShot G9 is physically virtually identical to its predecessor, the G7. The sole differences are an optical viewfinder shrunk to make way for a larger 3-inch LCD and the lens ring and release button darkened from silver to black. Many of the components are identical as well. It incorporates the same f/2.8-4.8 35mm-210mm-equivalent, optically stabilised 6x zoom lens and uses the same Digic III image processor. In fact, the only significant updates are a bump to a 1/1.7-inch 12-megapixel CCD from a 1/1.8-inch, 10-megapixel version, and the much-wished-for return of raw-format support.
Pros:
- A cornucopia of features
- Zippy
- Built like a tank.
Cons:
- Odd raw+JPEG implementation
- Relatively significant distortion at the widest angle of view
- When zoomed out completely, lens intrudes into viewfinder
- No optical zoom during movie capture.
