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'd be a bit suspicious about any comment from someone who apparently can't grasp the meaning of 'sealed unit' (and can't spell lens either)...

I've had a Pansonic compact for about a year now, it's had a lot of use and I have seen no dust issues despite all the turning on/off and zooming/focusing movements.

Frankly I doubt the G9 is any poorer in this respect. It sounds like the usual internet claptrap generated by one disgruntled user who's had a faulty camera and therefore decides on the basis on his one experience that every G9 is duff. Hardly a statistically or logically valid position...

My advice is to ignore it...
