Actually, I would say it's not. Improvements seem somewhat minor.... a new dial for exposure comp... a few face recognition improvements...a wider lens at the expense of zoom for which YMMV....but 14.7MP up from 12.1 just seems unecessary other than for marketing, I'm wondering about noise.

I suspect some great deals can be had on the G9 - I'd say the minor improvements won't be worth the extra $125 or so but YMMV.

Canon is starting to tick me off....G9 came out less than a year ago when I got mine (great camera BTW)... I'd like to see quantum improvements rather than these incremental yearly improvements.
