Canon PowerShot G9, with RAW

[Admin]

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/images/canon_g9.gifAlmost exactly a year after the PowerShot G7 was announced Canon has lanched its successor, the PowerShot G9 digital camera. Key changes include the much-requested inclusion of a raw shooting mode, a bright new 3.0-inch screen and a new 12.1MP 1/1.7-inch sensor. The face detection, focus and handling have also been improved (the latter through a redesign of the grip and the addition of a small thumbgrip) and the G9 is now compatible with Canon's ST-E2 wireless flash transmitter. One thing we have all asked for has now returned; RAW capture. The 6x optically-stabilized zoom remains the same. We've had a production quality G9 for a few days and have produced a small gallery of sample shots.

You know, these marketing people are funny, printing bigger than A4 from compact cams (then again, with a raw capture, it might not be that bad). The G series seems to be back in full strength now.
I wonder when the new Canon CMOS factory will be online making 1/1.7" sensors and how good those will be.
