Go for the G11 instead. I replaced my G9 with a G10 and have regretted it since. The large resolution of the G10 is a curse not a bonus and the images are very noisy. Good luck with your G9 though.<br><b>References : </b><br>My own experience. If your camera is beyond repair and you’re considering replacing it, don’t be tempted by the G10. Go for the G11 instead.

CCDs and CMOS are the eye of the camera, this component may have failed or the connectors became damaged. Fairly expensive repair if this is the case, and as the screen is still working for other functions, it points to that... Check the control dial isn't set to manual and small aperture/fast shutter/low iso combo, switch it to p mode or Av mode and see how it goes. Unfortunately it does sound like the image device is goosed which isn't good or cheap news I'm afraid.<br><b>References : </b><br> Sounds like a CCD or CMOS failure.
