You might look at compact cameras today and think "what's the point?" For the most part, I'd agree. That was until I tried this Canon Powershot G9 from 2007 - so much about this camera makes it a joy to shoot with. It pairs more 'pro' features of Canons DSLRs with a compact yet bulky body, it's not a compact that you lose very easily and has surprisingly useful ergonomics. For street photography, sometimes we're too busy with full-featured mirrorless cameras and foolproof telephoto lenses - it's important that we give equal time to more limited cameras like this. Street photography is an interesting genre that often asks you to approach the street in different ways to find what's working for you. Unlike a Leica, a Lumix LX100, a Fujifilm X100V or a Sony A7C this Powershot G9 doesn't offer heaps of flexibility, instead, it asks you to assess your position and make the most of the gear in your hand.

My first digital camera was a 3.2 megapixel Olympus point and shoot and for years I couldn't work out why the pictures from that camera made me happier than from my 24 megapixel advanced (for the time) DSLR.

I’m amazed that the G9 was the subject of the video. Mine was bought new, along with a G7, the both still work and make great pictures. Canon’s color science produces some nicely saturated, paint-like reds and greens. It’s still an enjoyable street photography experience.

@AndriiKakoichenko Год назад

Unfortunately, can't agree with author. Have bought G9 for full price when it was a new model already having EOS400D. I expected to get a light camera with the same adjustments as DSLRs and good picture quality in easy conditions. And could say that it has one major disadvantage - extremely low dynamic range. With it I could hardly compare it to the film which has solid dynamic range. It rather anti-film look(

@GeorgeHolden Год назад

I agree the dynamic range is poor, you're right that is a non-film related aspect

You want snappy DigiCam for low price. Get a canon S90 s95.

Set positive colors look like more filmish. And jpg only !! And get your lovely s95 in you hand palm and shot what you want, you ready for street photos.

When a video, which romantizises a camera like this blows up, you often see prices inflate like crazy. I find that a bit curious really, that people seem to want that vintage look so badly. Every modern phone will have the same point and shoot capabilities. The only thing this camera has going for it is fancy vintage look and maybe the versatility of the zoom lens. For 30€ I would say it's fun to play around with, but for what it currently costs(partially over 200€) no way. My D610 with one of my adaptalls on it produces with the loads of CA, a vintage too.

It is a solid little beast. I may very well hook a G9 if I stumble over one for the right price, there is a certain something with the CCDs.

Great review of a great little camera. I have traveled the world with my day job over the past 25 years or so and love doing photography along the way. I had already jumped from my trusty Nikon F to the Nikon D70 when the D70 was introduced. A problem developed over time as I carried way too much gear on business trips to remote locations overseas. I began trying various options and settled on the G9 about 15 years ago. Small, simple, and great photos of the type I wanted. Soon I moved to Micro4/3 but kept the Canon G9 in my kit. I also began obtaining more Cannon D9 as well as various accessories. I love this little gem which is easily pocketed and takes excellent photos. I even had one G9 retrofitted for infrared and have enjoyed learning something new in photography using it.

A fantastic little camera. I bought one and used it for ages until I sadly lost it on a hike. I bought another immediately to replace it. Still have it but something started to go wrong with the zoom focusing exactly the same as my G3. I currently use a G16 but can honestly 100% say that I preferred the G9 in virtually every aspect. Faster focusing, better close up photos and sharper images. I have photos taken with the G9 of a dragonfly where I was inches away, with the G16 they fly away before it can focus.

@GeorgeHolden Год назад

@krakapoww Год назад

Would you recommend getting the g9 or the g16 ?

@tylerfields2368 8 месяцев назад

Should i get a g3, g5 or 6, or g9? I want it for street photography, landscapes, low light like approaching night, maybe automotive. I want the idea of getting a filmic like look and the nd built in filter.

@socksonfeet8125 Год назад

This camera is around $200 US, still a great camera , my sis has one. All of the Powershots I've used over the years have been pretty solid. One of my current P&S cams is a Powershot G5 with a whopping 5 MP, camera is still good for its age, and getting a really good photo with it is indeed exciting.

Great video mate. Had a Powershot, the G12 I think. Lovely little thing. CCD sensors are just great. They’re more flexible than I think people give them credit for. Best decision I made was getting the Leica M9, I’m getting images I’m more than happy with. How CCD renders is just fantastic. Like yourself, I’ve been on a pocket rocket CCD sensor charity shop bargain hunt. It gets addictive.

Yes! Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Ricoh all made very desirable advanced compact cameras that make fantastic film-images. With a CCD camera, I can shoot from a moving train and get shots of passengers inside a train passing in the opposite direction only a few meters away. Isn't that what a camera is supposed to be able to do?

@GeorgeHolden Год назад

Exactly!

@RealBesty Год назад

I have one of these and it’s great. Mine’s pre-owned with some battle damage and the focus box in the VF doesn’t match the one on the screen, but it’s small (if heavy), built like a tank and does produce lovely retro-style images. :)

@GeorgeHolden Год назад

Yeah I love the tank factor! Ours is in good shape, nothing faulty as far as I can tell yet

@masterloot Год назад

CMOS was chosen over CCD because of bandwidth struggles of CCD. you couldn't effectively go over 10 megapixel on CCD on sensor size, bandwidth would choke up, so they went with CMOS. Backside illuminated CMOS minimizes rolling shutter and stacked as well but the price for them are significantly higher than normal cmos.

Coming from the film SLR age I was used to instant shutter response. My first digital, the Powershot G2 missed many shots due to the slow startup time and shutter action. So I went for Nikon's D70 which had zero lag, and never looked at a compact digital again. Later i realised that these had improved. (Liked & subbed) Cheers!

@GeorgeHolden Год назад

@vivek_v Год назад

I still use the Powershot G2, and it's a great camera. However, the startup time is unbearable. Though, with replacement batteries, the battery life is good enough to comfortably last a few hours without needing to turn the camera off in between pictures.

Should i go for a nikon d50 or canon PowerShot g3, g5, g6 or g9 (want to get as close to filmic look as possible) and not miss scenes when i need great focus

@northof-62 8 месяцев назад

@@tylerfields2368 For great film-look images, I'm thinking of the Fujifilm X-Pro or XT series cameras, with built-in film emulation, like Velvia etc. Nikon's D50 has limited lens choices, I believe. You're better served with a D70s(bigger screen)/D70 or D80 if you want to use those older screw drive AF lenses. I also have a couple of Nikon D200. With that model you have to shop for a later serial no. to avoid the ones that were affected by low light sensor striping. With the D90, Nikon switched to CMOS sensors. But with software you can pretty much get film-like images from any digital camera.

CMOS where implemented because they are cheaper to make, and allow larger ranges of ISO performance

@rollandelliott 9 месяцев назад

the shutter lag is atrocious! I have a 5 yeare old G7X it is much better shutter lag. Not sure at what year compact cameras changed and had good responses. Pretty sure it was after the G12? I think that was the last G series. if you cant' capture the moment the camera is worthless.

@hokyung888 Месяц назад

I still own a Nikon Coolpix 995 from 2001, which produces images somewhat akin to yours, though with a more modest 3MP resolution. However, I must acknowledge the distinct difference in the quality of noise between retro analog film cameras and their early digital counterparts, not just technically but also aesthetically. Film grain has a certain charm-consistent and visually pleasing-while the noise from old digital cameras tends to be harsher, less appealing, and often riddled with chromatic fringing.

@beholder2012 2 месяца назад

These PowerShots of Canon were nice, but they feature a serious disadvantage: their zoom lens gets blurry at the „longer end”. So although in theory they offer 4x zoom - in practice one needs to treat them like it had a prime, kept at its „shorter end”. Why Canon couldn't supply its PowerShots with the lens like, for example, Panasonic Lumix LX100 has? All the other parameters/features are acceptable - but that mediocre lens…

Here in Australia, back in 2018 I paid A$94 (UK 49 pounds) for a Canon G9. Later that year I also bought one for a nephew for A$114 (UK 50 pounds). Nobody really wanted them much back then. Now Ebay prices are about three times higher than those prices. I can't help but wonder if a ceratin RU-vid camera reviewer bears some responsiblity? Cheers.🤭

@AnthonyCherby 6 месяцев назад

I've owned a G3 (I think), a G10, and a G12. For their time, they were great. BUT don't expect sharp images or good low-light photos. And the focusing and metering, which I think he mentions, can be all out of whack. And all of them had a chronic issue: the protective lens leaves get stuck. You could find dozens of fixes for this on the internet and Canon support is worse than useless on this, other than for feeding my ego, as in, "I GUESS I KNOW MORE THAN THOSE TWITS DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM!" But all those fixes are temporary solutions at best. But with care, you can just shove them out of the way. More importantly, I agree with Mr. Holden: the G-series can take photos with a wonderful "tone" that is unique and very pleasing. And the skin tones are superb if the lighting is optimal. I never thought of the results as "film-like," but yes, I guess you could say that.

@hiimty4986 Месяц назад

One camera that I'd also recommend is the Sony Cybershot dsc-w290 due to the similar features with a 12.1 megapixel sensor. The one I own has most of the same picture setting but it's all made into a digital interface instead of tactile scrolls. Also pertaining to comments about prices being more than said in the video, other places will have different demand and supply of products. you May be able to find them really cheap somewhere those cameras are tossed around like e-waste. In most of America, these older cameras are sought after for an authentic old digicam quality of photos.

hi, I hope someone can help me out. I wanted to buy a small camera that I could fit in my pockets while skiing and then that out here and there to shootphotos of landscapes.

I am now using either my phone (I have an asus zenfone 8, but photos aren't it's strongness) or my Nikon Coolpix S640 "First introduced in August 2009 , Nikon Coolpix S640 is a 12.0MP Small Sensor Compact camera with a 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor, built-in Image Stabilization and 5.0x zoom 28-140 mm F2.".

I own several Fujifilm mirrorless cameras (X-T20, X0T2 & X-Pro1) plus lenses. I recently purchased an older small Fuji. A less know X-M1. It's a cool little camera and well suited for street photography. The only drawback is the lack of a view finder, although it has a tilt screen. I also own a Canon S90 point and shoot. It's cool and can be shot in completely manual mode. It's big drawback is it is so small and hard to hold.

I don't think the only reason we use CMOS sensors now is due to the cost of manufacturing or even the power consumption. CMOS actually took over the higher end cameras before lower end ones. I definitely like the images from my CCD camera but CMOS has become very capable now, modern BSI CMOS sensors are just as light sensitive and far faster to read out than CCDs, CCDs also started to become very hard to manufacture in the high resolutions people wanted
