Canon PowershotG9

A camera for the more advanced users that DO NOT want to carry around a DSLR but want the same functionality of a point-and-shoot.This camera, made by canon, is a 12.2 megapixel camera, with the same complex features as a DSLR.This camera, like many digital-single-lens-reflex cameras, allows you to adjust features such as your ISO, AV, timed settings and also allows you to shoot in RAW.Like the price, the Canon PowershotG9 is double the size and double the price of a standard point-and-shoot.Like many other Canon cameras, this camera allows for red-eye reduction, optical image stablization, face detection, and comes with a Digic III processor!This camera, has a great response time, and I am truly amazed on how fast it was when it came to shooting in RAW using all 12.1 megapizels and an Extreme III card.Not only does this camera shoot amazing photos that allow for blown up pictures, but this camera doubles as a camcorder, that records in great resolution.With a 3" screen, recording, 12.1 MP, and great response time, this camera is a DSLR without the price! :)
