Canon PowerShot G9 - Test shots - Exposure evaluation

A range of general test shots are shown over the next two pages. In some cases, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it to show the overall image quality.

----

The wide angle end of the zoom is equivalent to 35mm, about average for a compact camera. Again, the full-size image was too large for our download system. We must do something about that if we're going to be seeing more 12mp cameras.

----

The telephoto end of the 6x zoom is equivalent to 210mm, a useful range for picking out distant objects.

----

Dynamic range is better than some high-powered compacts, but the shadows are still a bit murky.

----

Colour rendition and exposure are first rate.

----

The G9 is a good camera for creative photography, and really encourages you to get out and take photos.
