Canon’s PowerShot G9 has been noted as a “great” compact digital camera in a new review.

In an article for Photography Review, it was noted that the model was similar to a digital SLR in a number of ways.

Although not capable of matching SLRs in terms of capabilities when shooting at speed or in terms of zoom range, the camera works well in a lot of other settings, the review states.

“The G9 really is very impressive. It has near digital SLR image quality if you keep the sensitivity down at ISO 80 and 100, with a tonal subtlety that I’m not used to seeing in a compact camera,” the reviewer states.

It was also noted that the model has a more professional feel than many other digital compacts, while still managing to remain small. However, it is slightly too big to be comfortably carried in a pocket, the reviewer notes.
