iPhone 4S v's Canon Powershot G9

Looking to save some room in my suitcase...

Any photographers out there that could tell me how the 4s compares to the G9?

Would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Not sure, but as Powershot G9 is perfect with focusing. iPhone 4s is great at the day time, but at the evening it's hard to het that quality as with G9. IMHO

Yep, I thought as much. Just been out to buy a new memory card for it so it'll be coming with me :-)

You're not saving that much space at all....

If you have the G9 and would like good quality photos all day, take it around. The iPhone is great but it has its limits

Actually.. if you've tried using a tripod on an iPhone 4S and Camera+, you can get pretty decent low light shots.

I would think the optical zoom would be a pretty important feature to have if you want quality shots from distances, no?
