New for Fall, 2007, Canon has slightly upgraded their popular G7 camera. The new G9 gets slightly more resolution (12.1MP vs. 10), a larger LCD screen (3" vs. 2.5") and they have added back a feature that was left out of the G7 - RAW file capability.

The G9 has the same 6x image-stabilized optical zoom lens from the G7. Dimensions, weight and most other features are identical.

The images below illustrate the LCD screen size size difference between the G7 and the G9.

The PhotoMed G9 Digital Dental Camera is specifically designed to allow you take all of the standard clinical views with "frame and focus" simplicity.The built-in color monitor allows you to precisely frame your subject. Focus and shoot. It's that easy.

Proper exposure and balanced even lighting are assured. By using the camera's built-in flash, the amount of light necessary for a proper exposure is guaranteed and PhotoMed's custom closeup lighting attachment redirects the light from the camera's flash to create a balanced, even lighting across the field.

Like previous G-Series models, the G9 features two custom settings (C1 & C2) on the mode dial. These custom settings allow you to set a lens position in the zoom range and the camera will set the lens to this position each time you turn the camera to one of the custom setttings.

For dentistry, this allows you to set two specific "magnifications" and repeatedly shoot the same field size over and over. For orthodontics, you can set one custom setting for the 1:2 magnification (anterior, occlusals and buccals) and the other for full face and profile shots.

The G9 Digital Dental Camera System works with all imaging software packages - Windows or Apple operating systems.
