"Great camera"
Pros: Resolution improved from G7 and RAW added
Cons: View finder not accurate
Summary: I've only had my G9 for a day and only had time to take a few test pictures comparing the resolution to my G7, which I've taken a couple of thousand pictures on.
At ISO-80 the G9 is substantially more detailed. I took a photo with the G7 and G9 of a piece of fine furniture from twelve feet. I could begin seeing better clarity in favor of the G9 at 100% (double)blow up. At 400% it became very dramatic. The extra megapixels are for real.
At ISO 400, the difference were still there, but not as dramatically different. There was no increased noise at this level, in fact it's reduced.
Handling and functionality were similar with the main edge going to the G9s larger and easier to see in bright light LCD.
I thought I'd get some early thoughts out for anyone trying to decide between the G7 and G9. IMHO, the G9 is the way to go.
The biggest negative to me is the viewfinder's inaccuracy. I've gotten to where I use the LCD in almost all situations to make certain that I don't end up with a picture that's composed out of balance.
