What we think: A solid enthusiast camera for those who want something compact to complement a SLR
What you need to know

Tags: canon, optical, raw, lens
We like:
A cornucopia of features; fast; built like a tank
We don't like:
Relatively significant distortion at the widest angle of view; when zoomed out completely, lens intrudes into viewfinder; no optical zoom during movie capture
CNET UK judgement:
If you're looking for a complement to your SLR, look no further. The G9 improves upon the G7 by improving photo quality and restoring raw format support while maintaining the same excellent performance and body design

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers

Are Micro Four Thirds cameras EVIL?
The Olympus E-P1 is the latest Micro Four Thirds camera range, and Olympus may claim it's a Pen, but we just have to ask: if it isn't EVIL, what is it?
