Canon G9 Specifications

Lives up to it's specifications...

Use on a Canon G9 to add close focus lenses

It performed to specifications, with no drama.

This paper prints out to my exacting specifications. Used on Canon Pixma-Pro 100 as 13x19 and 8.5x11 dimensional sheets. I trim roll paper into sheets by hand, and enjoy substantial cost benefit from doing so. The 24 dimension is reduced to 13 &11 lengthwise, after which individual sheets are trimmed; approx 66 and 144 sheets are produced respectively.

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

reliable product within specifications

good and as per the specifications required thanks

In my 70 years, I have had both Nikon and Canon top or second to the top of line cameras and top of the line lenses which were all excellent. I had been using M4/3 cameras for six years. I recently bought this lens and a G9. It would be hard to overstate the quality and relative value of this lens and of that camera. The clarity of the lens is better than the other Panasonic lenses I have had. Its weight is manageable and the lens hood is easy to get on and off. It focuses quickly and doesnt search as much as some other Panasonic lenses. I have used it with both a GX85 and the G9. This is not a walk around lens as is my favorite 14-140 for that purpose but the PL50-200 is a superior lens in every regard except in the zoom range over the 14-140. I believe optically, the top of the line lenses of both Nikon and Canon are better but for the price & for ease of use, I would take the PL50-200 in a heartbeat. One could buy every Panasonic Leica lens for what a couple of the most expensive lenses from either company, Nikon or Canon, would cost. Just saying....

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.
