Within your Canon G9 system, you’ll need to access the Canon G9 tool properties for your particles.
Load a few Canon G9 images, and apply them to the emitting particles. Position the Canon G9 camera as you like, such as up-close and underneath the particle
stream. This will allow the particles with Canon G9 images applied to whiz past the camera.
Using a little motion blur and setting depth of field for your Canon G9 camera will
also add to the effect.

Canon Powershot SD770IS Digital Elph review

Quick look at the SD770 ultra portable camera from Canon. 10 MP with good VGA 640×480 30 fps video recorder. The optical image stabilization is a plus to minimize blurry pictures due to camera shake.

Excellent camera for video blogging (vlog) and Youtube use.

After using it for a few days, I have a few issues with it. The purple fringing is a bit annoying in contrasty images and the highlight clipping and the auto white balance shifting during video recording is a downer. Although, for what it is, I still like this camera.
