## Description

PS1) Canon Powershot G9 Digital

Review: A good camera if you are going from phone photography to camera for the first time, with decent photo quality and has everything included (SD card, battery charger, camera case, etc.). I love it!
Review: This is a great little camera with all the big camera features. Too bad that Canon stopped producing them. If you can get your hands on a really good quality one (like I did from this seller), you will not be disappointed. You can not compare a real camera to a phone. Phones are just a toy. This is a real camera that also fits in your pocket ;) .

*by J***E on 5 October 2014*

So far so good. I was a little concerned about getting a secondhand camera, but so far so good. I ordered this because I already have a PowerShot G9, but needing repairs. This helps me to not have to learn a whole new camera. I still love this camera, after quite a few years.
