Battery For Canon G9 Camera

Works as well as the battery that came with my G9.

Bought this as a spare for my G9. Charges as fast as the OEM battery. Works perfectly with my Canon charger.

I needed a second battery for my G9. It works just fine

This is a camera battery. My copy does just what I expect it to do: it accepts and holds a charge, and discharges to power my Panasonic G9 camera. What I did NOT expect this battery to do was survive a fall from ~40 feet after it fell out of my bag, bouncing down a rocky slope and landing in a shallow pond. I expected the housing to be broken open and for the battery to be a total loss, but when I made it down to the pond to retrieve it, it only had a couple scrapes and dents to its faces and corners, and after fishing it out of the pond and thoroughly drying it off, I stuck it in my G9 (for science) and discovered that IT STILL WORKED. I will be watching this battery closely to make sure it doesn't malfunction or cause any damage to my camera, but the prognosis is good, I think, and even if it does turn out to have a reduced life span because of this incident, I will gladly buy another to replace it, with confidence in this model's durability.

Having only had this camera for a couple of weeks, I'm still learning its intricacies, but so far, I find it a worthy upgrade to my much loved G9. Paired with the Leica / Lumix 9mm f1.7, it focuses quicker and more accurately than the original G9. The viewfinder is much brighter than the G9, which gave me fits when wearing sunglasses; no such problem with the G9II. The hair trigger shutter release on the G9 has been replaced with a more typical sensitivity, nearly eliminating unintended shots of my feet while walking with the camera turned on. I'm still getting used to the changed button placement, but nothing seems inappropriate, just different. My only complaint so far is the lack of an external battery charger; making charging one battery while shooting with another impossible. Fortunately, I have the original G9's external charger. Overall, very pleased.

I have the G9 II and its internal battery is charged while in the camera. It is handy to have this battery charger so as to charge a second battery while the first battery is being used by the camera. The charger is a little expensive but worth having.

We owned PowerShot G9. I think that G12 is so much better. By putting a special bottom for over and under exposure it is almost equal to manual exposure control in much simpler way. Canon has put more controls in bottoms instead of menus. It is much quicker to use them when you become use to them. Another example is a second bottom to control speed/exposure. I think it was very wise to lower the megapixels count. The pictures are so much better. I have a Canon 5D Mark II. My wife and I have the G12 to take snapshots of family, mostly flash pictures using the one which is in the camera. G12 makes it possible to take pictures in low light with flash and long exposure so the surroundings can be seen. (It is difficult to do it handheld without a support and the white balance is set on the flash and the lights are usually with warmer colour.) If one can held the camera steady I think is nice. On usually has a lot of pictures of same persons and the most important difference is the different surroundings. My friend is not very keen photographer but wanted to own expensive cameras like the EOS 5D. After my advice he bought G11 and is more satisfied with it than he was with the old EOS 5D. He likes the possibility to take panorama pictures where he can see part of the first picture when he takes the second one. The reason why we bought PhowerShot G9 was the possibility to shoot RAW. The picture from G12 are so much better. It is a camera simple enough for beginners and advanced enough to be a second camera for more advanced photographer or to be a steppingstone towards SLR.

I am using this great Canon SL1 DSLR to learn photography. Having used a Canon G9 for over 5 years I wanted a camera whose lens I could change and whose settings I could manipulate to get that perfect shot. The Canon SL1 meets that criteria and more. The camera is small, portable, and light weight. Most importantly, it takes a great photograph. I would high recommend it.

I use this strap on a Canon G9. It is far more comfortable and easier to use than both the neck strap that came with the camera and a different wrist strap I bought because it was available that was thinner, narrower and didn't feel as secure.

Wedded to my Canon Powershot G9, the Hoya RM72 59mm filter produces truly real infrared pictures. The union of the 58mm filter, the Canon adaptor, and the G9 camera produces images that look like real infrared developed film, and the G9 does this without the hot spot in the center of the image like some other digital camera/lens combinations. The filter requires the Canon lens adaptor, LA-DC58H Lens Adapter (or deneric equivalent), which is threaded to 58mm filter and designed to fit over its extending lense. To see examples of this camera's pictures, bth alone and in combination with the Hoya R72, @. With infrared, you definitely see things in a different light. Highly recommended!-Steve Burt
