Canon Powershot G9 Reviewed

Wired Magazine recently reviewed the cool Canon Powershot G9. Wired called the camera small, powerful, perfect in its review. The G9 is a compact 12.1 megapixel camera that is sort of in between your typical point-and-shoot and a DSLR camera.

Wired says the menus and manual controls are plentiful, but learning the camera takes lots of tweaking. The good things about the G9 are the picture and video quality, RAW capture capability, hot shoe for larger flash and a good macro mode.

Bad points are the viewfinder is not needed with the large sharp LCD (I say pffffttt to Wired on that one) tons of modes and settings are staggering and overwhelming. For the price of the G9 you could buy some rather nice DSLR cameras. The G9 carries an MSRP of $500.
