Canon U.S.A., Inc. announced today that its G-series has a new top-of-the line model - the PowerShot G9 digital camera. The PowerShot G9 digital camera offers serious shooters and value-minded professionals a feature-packed camera with many of the advanced photographic capabilities of a D-SLR camera, in a lightweight, compact package.
The PowerShot G9 digital camera features the same matte black, retro design that G-series cameras sport. The camera features RAW Mode allowing advanced photographers the option of using RAW+JPEG simultaneous capture functionality.
The PowerShot G9 digital camera features 12.1 megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom lens and Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS).
"The PowerShot G9 digital camera brings our highest levels of performance and usability to the G-series," said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. "By combining RAW Mode with our other key technologies in this camera, we're providing a high-performing and affordable option to advanced photo enthusiasts who want the creative power of a Digital SLR in a smaller body form."
In stores in the US by October, the PowerShot G9 camera kit includes a lithium-ion rechargeable battery and battery charger, a 32MB MMC plus memory card, a USB interface cable, an AV cable, a neck strap, and Canon's software suite at an estimated selling price of $499.99.
