Canon Powershot G9 Announced

[Ben Stafford]

The new Canon Powershot G9 may be the camera that everyone wanted the Canon G7 to be. The G9 gets a bit more resolution (12.1 megapixels), a larger screen (3 inches), and a RAW mode that everyone missed when the previous G series camera was announced. The Powershot G9 will be available in October for $500.

G7 was my favourite PS camera, but know read features about G9, this is much more better than G7.
I'm excited because I'm going to try G9 next month. I'll share my experiences!

Wow! An updated "G" with a bigger LCD and RAW! It looks like Canon has a winner here.
