New tools mean new possibilities

I've been wanting a small digital camera for a long time now, as a carry-everywhere alternative to the mighty — but very heavy — Canon 5d.
I'll probably write a longer post about my considerations and my thoughts on the subject (because I need to get them out of my damn head), but to cut to the chase, when Canon announced their new Powershot G9 I knew it was going to be a great choice for me.
I've had the G9 for a few days now, and thought I should start posting some of the images I've shot with it. One of the fun things about this camera (and many digicams like it) is the extreme macro capability — this was shot from about an inch from the surface of the leaf in the foreground.
