Reviewer: IT Reviews20 February 2008
This is a capable digital camera which can produce stunning photographs in the right hands. There is an argument that for the asking price of this camera you could opt for a digital SLR, but otherwise this is a flexible and competent option. Read more

While it’s a worthy camera in most ways, the Canon PowerShot G9 doesn’t offer many compelling advantages over lower-priced competitors. It’s hard to recommend it as a reasonable value. Read more

I did all the trawling through forums and reviews before purchasing this camera too. I used to own an older G Series camera, and whilst you don't get the fold out screen anymore, you do get a HUGE screen.

Apple's iPhoto support for Nikon's NEF files
...re just change the basic parts of the picture such as saturation and etc... You might want Lightroom because you already have CS2, but the possibilities of a mac with Aperture are better, so Stick with adobe for PC and Aperture for Mac. _________________ Canon PowerShot G9 iMac + Aperture
