Canon PowerShot G9 review

By (cnet.com)

This digital camera has a cornucopia of features; it's zippy and built like a tank

Relatively significant distortion at the widest angle of view; when zoomed out completely, lens intrudes into viewfinder; no optical zoom during movie capture

The Canon PowerShot G9 is a solid enthusiast digital camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR.
