I took my G9 to a St. Patrick’s Day Parade this weekend. It was nice day, an even nicer outing and a nice parade. I was able to get some good snapshots but no real prize winners. Photographing the parade reminded me of several shortcomings of the G9:
1. No built-in sun screen and the G9 is too small to provide shade.
2. No built-in fluid reservoir in the G9
3. No built-in features to clone away the power lines
4. Can’t read the LCD display if wearing polarized sunglasses
5. Lensmate (or Canon) adapter interferes with the optical viewfinder
6. Optical viewfinder is not accurate, must offset for parallax
7. Shutter lag makes capturing the “decisive moment” difficult
All in all, I had a good day at the parade -- and the G9 was part of it.
