Well, it’s taken a couple of years …… but I have finally taken the leap, and shelled out for a ‘second digital camera’.<\/p>\n

Not only have I not had the money, but also, the specification of most of the pocket sized camera just didn’t appeal. This has now changed with a number of manufacturers now producing 12 MPix pieces.<\/p>\n

The Canon G9 is build like a tank. It feels really substancial, and some will say too heavy. But I like it to feel solid and with a little weight means less camera shake. The specification is completely fantastic. See Below … and just check out the links I’ve made to the reviews.<\/p>\n
