Given the success of Canon's highly acclaimed G Series, it's no surprise that ambitious photographers have been eagerly anticipating the next model in its evolution. The wait has paid off handsomely with the introduction of the PowerShot G9.

Sophisticated design and high-quality construction complement the technology and make the G9 a camera to be reckoned with.
