Canon PowerShot G9 replaces the PowerShot G7, which was a disappointment compared to previous models.It is a high-end fixed-lens camera offering almost every feature you could imagine. It takes care of many of the issues that people had with the G7, with the most notable change -- the addition of RAW image support. However, the rotating LCD that made the G-series famous is still nowhere to be found.
