canon powershot G9: No, you're not having déjà vu--the Canon PowerShot G9 is physically virtually identical to its predecessor, the G7; the sole differences are an optical viewfinder shrunk to make way for a larger 3-inch LCD and the lens ring and release button darkened from silver to black. Many of the components...; Tags: Monitors & displays, Continuous Shooting, Canon PowerShot, LCD, Canon Inc.; Product reviews 2007-09-11

canon powershot A570 IS: As the least expensive Canon camera to include optical image stabilization, the PowerShot A570 IS will no doubt receive a lot of attention this year.

canon powershot G7: Photo gallery: Canon PowerShot G7A lot has changed since Canon shipped its last G-series model, the PowerShot G6, back in late 2004.

canon powershot A710 IS: Canon's A-series cameras have a long tradition of providing solid performance and impressive but not over-the-top feature sets at a reasonable price.
