Re: G9 - Sunsets

Nice series of sunset images. I like the first one best.

The G9 is the last point and shoot that I have and I still enjoy using it on occasion.

Re: G9 - Sunsets

Thanks Wayne.

It's one of the last times that I'm gone use this G9 due a dustspot on sensor, thankfully you don't see it when shooting and processing raw. Maybe I can please someone with it in my neighbourhood.

Re: G9 - Sunsets

Sorry to hear about the dust spot. I've never noticed any on mine but haven't really looked for it either. I used to have an S110 which I really liked until one day I left it in my pocket and it went through the washing machine. The downfall of very small cams.

Re: G9 - Sunsets

Good Job, i had a G9 got from ebay but had a dust lens issue so sent it back, i then bought a G11 to replace my G5 which i think was better replacement as it had the flippy screen.

It is me, or do others also find...

...that the IQ levels from the older G series of cameras were mostly stellar.  The G9 was a wonderful camera, that's for sure.  I sold mine way back to get the G12 which I still have today (and love its output).  I haven't updated my G series of cameras from the current G12 only because of other brand acquisitions since that time.

Nice images BTW and another reason to keep on truckin' with older G series models.

Re: G9 - Sunsets

Thanks, I can't or won't really sell this G9 with the dustspot, or mayby something like (for sale a NB-2LH accu for 30€ and the G9 cam free included)

But I still have a G10, G15 and G16 from the 1/1.7" sensor cams (G-series)

Thanks Ben,

Ya I really liked this older cams, for the better daylight IQ for JPG and much less smearing and NR (not so the 35mm WA), From this older 2007-2008 series I still have another G9, G10, A650 and Ixus 980is. (just talking about the canons)

Refresh my memory...

I was under the impression that the G9 didn't have RAW capabilities - just JPG?  It's been awhile since I had it.

Yes, when you press the func/set button you have a setting for the size ( L M1 M2 M3 S W and RAW )

But you can't set RAW+JPG

The G7 dropped RAW support but was brought back in the G9. Fun times

Yeah - RAW plus JPG is limited to RAW plus large fine JPG.

Just watched a documentary on the horrible disaster among climbers at K2 in 2008. They had a camera that must be G, probably G9. A very cold day I used my G10 for an hour, fine sunset, in the end it became slower, put it in the pocket, and soon started up again. When I checked it was - 8 C!  Have not used it for 8 months, the battery still full. Mostly using it for macros, like insects on windows. A little spot at the edge of the sensor, no problem. Some ask if I will sell it, no good idea. The G cameras can last "for ever"?
