yea for Nikateer I agree with the other person. I own a cannon G9 and its FARRR from a point and shoot cam. At a price of $499 retail it has all the features of most cameras costing 2x's as much including 12.1 MP and color swap. I suggest (Nikateer) you google reviews of the cannon G9 before you classify it as a point and shoot.
A G9's picture quality cannot be comapred to a digital slr. And just because you don't like this FACT, Don't go giving me a thumbs down. It's not anybodies fault that you got ripped off for buying one.
So it has a great big lcd screen on the back, Every person who takes good and REAL pictures does not use the lcd screen. So, I gave you a thumbs down for making a comment, and not knowing what your commenting about. :(~
I'm sure the G9 is a great camera. When I say it's not camparable to an SLR camera, I'm not putting down the G9. I'm merely stating that any newer model SLR will take better quality pics than a digital point and shoot.
For every person who has given me a thumbs down, Those are the people who know nothing of photography. And as for the telephoto lens that you can buy for these, I have not seen one worth it's price. I haven't tried the canon telephoto lens, but every other isn't worth 10 bucks.
I own two Canon cameras, The Rebel XT and the Powershot G9
I dont think neither one is EXCELENT, but they complement each other, at least for my use
The problem with DSLR cameras is the money. If you buy a DSLR you must spend on good lenses for it, and of course you will get fantastic results
But Compact cameras like the G9 are much more versatile for their price, and they come with a lot of similar functions to a DSLR. How ever, this camera can show a lot of noise and its also very expensive
buy a real Camera? are you joking me? Unless your defitition of a real camera is something that costs over 1,100 dollars then..nothing. I Have to go sleep I cant even finish my sentence.
Porra o cara meteu um pirocâo na porra da camera e filmou do espelho, ta tudo do lado errado... faltou finalizar metendo ela entre as pernas para tirar foto do CUtero
im was in the same situation deciding which one to buy but its really if you want it for pictures more or for video. s5 has a longer zoom and better video but the g9 produces images like no other compact ive ever seen
is that a focus ring or a zoom ring that i spot on there?

Maybe you're a busy guy but if you got some spare time could you tell me in 1 or 2 sentences how it improves photos/how it effects the photos?

hi there, I have g9 too. I'd love to see photos with that lens too as I'm thinking of buying one too. What did you pay for that lens?
Would really like a response...please please please...
craigmazzali 3 years ago
to be fair slr cameras are far to buly for most of the time. they are best quality but too big and bulky i would rather stick with compact

G9 is a great camera.
How could you say it's not comparable?
I guess you have one too?
Not a waste of money.

I would never buy lens for a point & shoot camera. what a waste of cash! Jst get an SLR! Get a REAL camera!
Nikateer 3 years ago
I would totally agree! For 2 or 300 more you could have bought an slr, then you would see real amazing pictures.

The G9 is far from a point and shoot camera. It has all the feature of a DSLR and more, but you can put it in your pocket!

hey i got a sirius question ..i want to buy that camera for chrismas.can i put a 18mm-55mm on it..
sidekick180 4 years ago
How do you like this camera? Im getting one soon and was wondering how it was and also about the attachments.
bouncychick15 4 years ago
it's a great camera - highly recommend. the raw mode work very well.
the attachment is the wide angle with adapter - looks radical it produces a 18mm almost fish-eye exposure.

Hey can you tell me if I should bother to return my Canon S5 IS for the G9 or am I ok with the S5 IS, I wan't the highest picture quality possible.
I'm thinking of starding my dream of artistic photography and freelancing. Time is ticking have another 2 weeks to exchange.

Yes more for photos I'm planning on a HD camcorder for videos next, But I wan't the best still pictures for the camera.
1 week left please help deside.

i wouldnt recommend anything but mini dv for camcorders hard drive cameras always have the risk of losing all of the info if the hard drive crashes
veedubbb 3 years ago
Thats huge! Whats the widest angle you get with it? And why are all the controls on the G9 reveresed? Is that a mirror image or something?
