on buying a compact camera - canon powershot g9




















A friend of mine who has shown a desire to get into photography for as long as I can remember, is finally going digital! He doesn't want an SLR just for the bulk inconvenience factor... so I've found him the next best thing... the Canon PowerShot G9. Totally manual, RAW capabilities, changeable lenses, beautiful (masculine) design... perfect. Check out the details over at Digital Photography Review.

For a compact (these days) they're pretty pricey, around AU$700RRP... if only I knew someone in Hong Kong (not so subtle hint!). I'm thinking eBay... should I be hesitant? But oh it's so pretty... and really, the specs make it look like my little 400D is just a G7 in SLR clothing!
