1st post so bear with me. My Canon Ixus 800IS just died on me with the dreaded Lens Error, which I have since read about on the internet and as such I am in the market for a new Camera.
Whilst I don't yet wish a DSLR, I thought the G9 offered a good bridge between the two. Having read various website reviews which all sound very positive I was all set to buy one when I stumbled on a customer review comment on www.amazon.co.uk who slated it saying that it was a sealed unit and dust gets sucked into the lense and sensor areas by the lense opening and closing.
I have read several other comments on this and I am getting slightly worried as they state that you cannot but its design clean it easily/cheaply.
Is this a wide spread issue or am I just getting paranoid.
I essentially want a very good compact which offers the ideal blend of strong optical zoom and image quality.
