11 Apr 2009AvoidI've had this camera for many months and absolutely loved it... until the "dust problem". Now, I have a large grey squiggle and spots that are very visible on the LCD as well as on images shot with the camera. Prior to this, there were dust particles on the *inside* of the lens that could not be removed, but this did not affect the image quality. I suspect I now have dust on the image sensor itself. Now that it's out of warranty, I'm out of luck since Canon won't help me without charging me ...–Will Tanfrom Amazon.com

I used this camera as an excellent back up to my Nikon D90 DSLR–Howard E. Tyreefrom Amazon.com
17 Jan 2009great camera, not so good low light shotsOverall camera is great with enough autofor quick shooting as well as options for semi pro. Not so good in low light conditions, especially indoors; some pixelation will occur. I bought my self 430EX II to compensate.–Milad Cerkicfrom Amazon.com
"Almost exactly a year after the PowerShot G7 was announced Canon has launched its successor, the PowerShot G9 digital camera. Key changes include the much-requested inclusion of a raw shooting mode, a bright new 3.0-inch screen and a new 12.1MP 1/1.7-inch sensor."
The top-of-the-line point-and-shoot combines 12.1-megapixel resolution with an optically stabilized 6x zoom lens, advanced camera and flash controls, and RAW capture.
