The Canon G9 may be old news, but it is still an impressive digital compact camera. So impressive that I've decided to replace my trusty but ageing Casio P600 (which I have been using since 2005), with it, even despite the new Canon G10. Still, with £200 separating the two models I can't justify myself to get the latest and greatest compact when I can easily get a new well regarded entry level digital SLR for less.

Prices are well down on cameras, and not just recently. When I got my D40 two years ago there was a hundred off of it the next month.
It's grand though- even my five year old digi still gets used occasionally, simply because it's still working.
Yeah, I would rather have waited for the G10's price to drop, but my Casio is finally showing its age (abused it too much - hardly kept in a case). Amazing it lasted this long.
G9 is probably the best compact camera in the market which rated to produce DSLR quality image with compact camera size. Too bad when I wanted to buy the predecessor of G9 -- G7, it was out of stock. So I bought Canon IS5 instead.
