Canon PowerShot G9 video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Canon PowerShot G9. This demonstrates the G9's design, controls, coverage, image stabilisation and time lapse features.

There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.

Good points

6x optical zoom with IS and decent macro.
Flash hotshoe for Speedlites and wireless.
Dedicated ISO dial and control wheel.
Great manual exposure and RAW support.

Bad points
No flip-out screen, nor much grip to speak of.
Noise at 400 ISO and above.
Modest AF speed and slow continuous shooting.
A650 IS and EOS 400D compelling alternatives.
