As some of you may know i recently got a G9 to take out and about for when the 350d isn't practical.
Having taken only the G9 to the bluebell railway meet i thought i would let you know what i thought of it.
On the plus side:
its small, but feels heavy enough and strong enough that you know you have it and you don't feel like it will break at any moment.
The screen is massive, has a rule of thirds grid and live histogram.
The fully manual settings work just like the DSLR.
The menus are easy to navigate through.
The shutter makes a cool noise
The colours look good and the pictures are nice and sharp.
It has IS.
On the down side:
It eats battery power.
You can only get 280 pics on a 4gb memory card if you shoot RAW.
The Lens obstructs the view finder when fully extended.
The built in ND filter isn't graduated.
I found a lot of my pictures were over exposed although this may be a result of user error although when i was shooting in P mode i found i got slight better results if i moved the EV down a bit.
Pics can be seen here:

over all i would recommend it as a very useful P+S.
