Good Points

Solid build, image quality, battery life.


Bad Points

There are more compact cameras available, if that is a priority.
It's not a video camera so don't expect too much from the video mode, but it is good for the odd special moment.
**Beware the G10 will be out soon so deals may become available**


General Comments

Bought this for my wife to replace an older IXUS.
I personally use and EOS400D and have to say that the images from the G9 frequently outperform the EOS.
It's not as flexible as a D-SLR, but if you want a genuinely useable day-to-day camera with top notch quality then I would say you can't go far wrong.
My wife has also knocked it off the top of our freezer (over 6 feet drop) and it still works perfectly. Albeit with a small dent in the case. Which btw is right on the corner and would have seen many inferior products shatter into tiny useless pieces.
