'terrific camera'

'excellent camera'

'The grip-less camera feels surprisingly good in the hand, thanks to thoughtful ideas like a small but well placed  thumb rest on the rear panel.'

'The best part about the Olympus XZ-1 was the fact that its image quality backed its hardware, and the camera proved itself a well-equipped tool that excelled when it came to manual controls.'

'Large image sensor'

'the Canon G10 holds true to the elements that have made the G series a successful shooter's camera over the years.'

'the camera did just fine, and thanks to the RAW option, you can recover a lot of invisible detail.'

'a relatively compact camera to simply carry around without all the attendant SLR gear.'

'The front of the camera body is nearly flat with a few shallow contours.'

'The Canon PowerShot G9 is a very powerful compact which will greatly appeal to enthusiasts or anyone looking for a pocketable backup for a DSLR.'

'it's zippy and built like a tank.'

'the Canon G9 has convinced me.'

'I'm happy to say, 4 months later, I made a great choice in chosing this camera.'

'Digital IS (anti-blur scene mode) will automatically select a high ISO to help eliminate or reduce blur due to camera shake and/or subject movement.'

'It has fast operations, and provides flexible exposure control.'
