Worthy Successor to the G3Strengths: Fast f/2-3 35-140mm Lens, Excelent Image Quality, Excelent Color, Excelent Dynamic range, Low Noise, High Power Flash, and EVERY manual control you can think of! Weakness: Movie mode, No USB2, Size Best in current non SLRs: Fastest Lens Color Reproduction Dynamic Range Best in class: Image Quality Flash Noise Manual Control RAW buffering Better Than Average in class: Focus speed (Good enough though, and much much better than previous Canons. This one can finaly focus on moving kids!!) Weak in class: Movie mode: 640x480 @ 10fps for 30 sec. 320x240 @ 15fps for 180 sec. No USB2

Canon PowerShot G6 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Improvements over G5 in size, faster start up, picture quality, high speed continuous shooting, bigger LCD, lighted status screen, and built in neutural density filter. Weakness: I only wish it comes in black and has USB 2.0 connection. I experimented with the G5 for several days and decided to purchase the G6 after reading about its improvements. I was impressed. (See items listed in 'Strengths' section. The noise at ISO 400 was noticeably lower than the G5. The high speed continuous shooting mode was great to capture people in motion. Both were features I couldn't do very well with the G5. The new button positions allowed...

Canon PowerShot G6 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Excellent Picture Quality, Great software, Nice sturdy body Weakness: Big Camera I got this camera several days ago after researching extensively the high end point and shoots. I was torn between the G6, Olympus 5060, and the Canon S70. After many tens of hours of researching, I purchased the G6 online for $570.00 shipped to my door. I have only had it a few days and I can't believe how great the pictures turn out! Even in low light!! And the panoramic abilities and the...

Canon PowerShot G6 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Fast focus and quick shutter for a point and shoot camera. Easy to use LCD menu icons so you can change on the fly. Exposure accurate images. The G6 has almost everything my 10D has in functions. Weakness: A little pricey but I saved over $200 by buying online vs my neighborhood camera store. Very accurate exposure readings compared to a handheld meter. You can shoot in Jpeg without worrying about over or under exposure shots so you can save room on your cards. No need to shoot Raw unless you need to fix something in Photoshop but you do have the option. You can control all functions from aperture to shutter speed yourself for a very professional shot or just let the camera do it on...

Canon PowerShot G6 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: What a fantastic picture with macro and super macro! Close up shots are very detailed! Add the macro lens and you have great quality. Using the Adobe Photoshop cs makes picture editing a breeze Weakness: You really have to read the manual to know how to use all the features. Sometimes the manual focus is a little cumbersome but once mastered its easy. I have never had a digital camera perform as well as this one. I have been reluctant to give up my old professional Nikon (at least 25 yrs old!) because of its focusing ability. I have tried several other digital cameras but I never gave up my old one - that is until now! This camera is a point and shoot - but for professional compositions you have to read the manual to get all the features.

Canon PowerShot G6 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Good evolution of the best prosumer serie: the G Weakness: Pratically none I had a G3 and I still own a G5 that I don't want to sell for the charming black look. But the G6 put on the excellent image quality and outstanding performances of the G5, only good innovations: - 2.1 more Mp of resolution; - bigger LCD (2") and new ergonomic body; - the same great lens zoom 4x really fast (f/2.0 wide, f/3.0 tele) with less CA and noise, even with the increased resolution!...

Canon PowerShot G6 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Very powerful camera. The pictures come out very clear and vivid. The camera is very light weight and is very easy to use. I haven't read the book yet but I was able to figure most of the things out. Weakness: Quite expensive camera. Unless you plan to keep this camera, it's an expensive investment for picture taking. I found that this camera works really well even under lighted, low light and no light. The pictures still comes out clear and well lighted thanks to the great built-in flash. The camera comes with a 32MB flash card but it's too small to have permanently. I personally bought the Lexar Media 1GB 80X card (12MB/s) and that can hold a lot more pictures. I also recommend that you get an extra battery...

Canon PowerShot G6 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Picture quality; compact size; battery life; broad range of features Weakness: Advanced features may be difficult for inexperienced photographers; Mode dial may turn accidentally I consider myself slightly above a "novice" photographer. I have owned several Point-and-Shoot cameras along the way, and most recently had a Kodak Easyshare digital camera. I decided to "move up in the world" and get a bit more advanced. After my previous cameras, there were a couple "must have" features for any new camera: 1) a hotshoe for connecting an external flash; 2) better battery life...

Canon PowerShot G6 7.1 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Accurate light metering; excellent color; easy to use; good, solid feel Weakness: Redeye from anemic flash; wish it was more powerful, so bought an external flash (Canon 420EX works great) to compensate Although this is a superb camera, it does have a couple of design flaws. First, the focus slide for the eyepiece will move on you if you hang the camera around your neck or shoulder with the strap. As the camera slides back and forth the slide will move to one extreme or the other and the next time one uses it, it will have to be refocused. This is just a minor annoyance. Another problem is with...

PowerShot G6
In our round-up, nearly every camera here took good pictures. If size is a factor, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P150—with its compact form, light weight, and 7-megapixel pictures—should fit your needs the best. We really liked the Casio Exilim EX-P600’s striking and innovative Ex Finder, but for the same price, we prefer the Canon PowerShot S70’s pictures and RAW capability.... Top

Canon Powershot G6
Canon's "G" series of digicams have always been favorites with our readers, and with good reason: They offer a nearly ideal blend of features and capabilities, along with excellent image quality and great battery life. With the G6, Canon has once again upped the ante, managing to actually reduce image noise, even as they boosted resolution from 5 to 7 megapixels. Reviewing it, I found myself with...

Canon G6 - I love it!
Strengths: Superb sharp photographs, which will print to 20" x 16". Acurate metering and focussing. A whole raft of user accessible settings, that will take weeks to explore. Incredible battery life.
Weakness: Crummy little cover over the AV/DC/Digital ports (will almost certainly break off one day). On/off button too easy to accidentally trigger (I trimmed mine shorter with a craft knife to solve this)
I've been running this camera for over six-months after retiring my Hasselblad. I wanted a camera that would produce upto 20 x 16 prints, but didn't need a suitcase of accessories to do the job. The G6 fits the role nicely. The zoom and focussing are quick and accurate. In the six-months I've used the camera I guess I've only binned a handful of shots because of inaccurate focus, out of 1000+...
