"Almost, but not quite"
What I like:
I agree with the usual reviews, but....
What I don't like:
Does NOT support RAW, when shooting from laptop.
Review:
I use this camera on a very tall tripod, connected to my laptop using canon remote capture software. This software does NOT support RAW capture for the G9. Canon have confirmed this to me. I purchased this camera purely for the support of the RAW capture to replace a P-shot PRO1 which does support raw. I imagine this problem only requires a software fix, but this otherwise excellent camera is useless to me.

Canon EOS 550D
Good dSLR, but you're paying for HD movies and high ISOs. The basic image quality hasn't moved on much
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11
Solid and pocketable, but not versatile enough to make the best of darker conditions
Canon IXUS 105
While a thing of beauty physically, its average pictures and trailing-edge tech fail to inspire
