Canon G9 - first impressions     posted on 19th of december, 2007

I was thinking about buying a new camera some tim eago, as an add-on to my Pentax k100d dslr.

Canon G9.

Well, I've made up my mind and bought it.

Now I've been testing it intensively, some photos are in my queue waiting for approval.

I love it for its compactness, RAW ability, manual operations available (including focus), incredible macro distance (1 cm!) It has a flash hot shoe, I can easily use my wireless flash with it, shweeet.

Well, it won't be a dslr ever - high ISO's (400 and above) are practically (well, for stock photo) useless because of the noise. U can deal with it somehow, using your noise reduction software, still it;s much better at low ISO's. Knowing...

Welcome to G9 users group:) I am sure the pictures will come out great! - posted by Sebcz on May 17, 2008
I am also looking forward to a G9... Maybe in April... Until then, I am the happy user of a G7, which lacks RAW ability and only has 10MP. - posted by Bogdan on January 16, 2008

I got into photography as a teenager, my very first camera was Smena, then Practica, I truly reminisce hours spent in a darkroom. But it was only when digital era started that I truly started to enjoy shooting - the effects of your work seen immediately, easier learning curve, comfortable and unlimited post-processing possibilities made things much more fun.

Apart from taking my own shots, I teach and work as an Image Editor here at Dreamstime, which means looking at hundreds of photos daily. And although I've reviewed half a million of images, I'm still impressed how much talent there is around:)

Don't take photos. Make them!

I'm one of the editors on Dreamstime.
