Canon G6

Pros: 7.1 megapixels, 4x Optical Zoom, lots of manual exposure options, excellent image quality

Cons: Price, redeye, dim LCD screen, USB 1.1

The Bottom Line: The Canon Powershot G6 provides a superb balance of usability, performance, ergonomics, and compact size but at seven hundred bucks it may not be the best camera choice.

Review: The new Canon Powershot G6 is more evolutionary development than revolutionary milestone -- basically a silver G5 with a 7 megapixel CCD. The G series has been Canon s flagship digicam model since the G1 was introduced in 2001. The earliest G models...

Pros: Image quality, neat little touches, ease of use

Cons: Hmmm...

The Bottom Line: Do not buy if looking to be disappointed.

Review: I am a brand loyalist - when a company's products never cease to impress me, I am a customer for life. I began my love affair with Canon ever since I bought the Canon PowerShot A70 less than two years ago. All the manual features packed in that...

Pros: Enormous number of features; semi-professional camera; quality photos; best camera for the price.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for digital camera that is semi-professional and fairly easy to learn & use, and produces excellent photos, for a reasonable price, buy it.

Review: I recently purchased the Canon G6 PowerShot Digital Camera and after owning the G2, G3, & G5, all I can say is that Canon keeps improving these PowerShot cameras with each version, albeit not very much each time.

To read a fuller review of...

Pros: First-rate image quality, large LCD, lots of manual exposure options

Cons: Price; included 32MB CF card soon becomes a bottleneck.

The Bottom Line: Canon seem to get it right with each release. The G6 is no exception. An advanced compact camera that's capable of beating even 8MP ones with its exceptional image quality.

Review: The $560 PowerShot G6 may certainly not win any prize for its high price tag, but there's more to it than just that...

The PowerShot G6, the latest addition to Canon's G series, is quite a compact and powerful 7.1 megapixel digital camera...

Pros: Larger LCD, Sharper Photos, Faster AF, but they kept the terrific lens

Cons: 7MP files go through CF cards quick

The Bottom Line: The best prosumer camera of 2004, and a significant upgrade for G3 and G5 owners.

Review: I was very interested in reviewing the new PowerShot G6 when I heard of its release. As the owner of a G3 and an S50, I skipped the release of the G5 as I already had the higher resolution sensor on my S50 while the G3 offered the same creative...

Pros: Fold-out screen, light weight, external flash superb, high pixel count

Cons: Expensive accessories, poor low light focussing, built-in flash underpowered.

The Bottom Line: Excellent camera, simple for enthusiasts, sophisticated enough for pro-ams. Excellent external flash. Shame about the colour!

Review: I've had the camera for about 6 months now (purchased from Ebuyer, cheapest on the 'net at the time) and in that time have taken more than 2000 shots with it.

My requirements for the camera were not straightforward.

1. It needed...

Pros: - image quality - variety of shooting modes - flip-out LCD screen - price

Cons: - shooting-mode dial - on/off switch - size

The Bottom Line: Could use some improvements, but no show-stoppers; worth the price -- feature-packed for what you pay

Review: This camera was purchased 3 weeks ago for my wife.
I chose it for several reasons:
- I own a Digital Rebel which I'm very happy with
- I own a Canon S900 printer, which I'm also very happy with
(brand loyalty building here)
...

Pros: Lots of features.

Cons: Severe autofocus problems. Bulky. Silver paint wears off.

The Bottom Line: A feature-rich camera. Picture quality could be better in this price range. Has autofocus problems in indoor light.

Review: I won't go into the features since they are pretty well-known at this point, but this camera has enough to make any enthusiast happy. The menus are very intuitive too. My family is not afraid to use it, although they won't touch the advanced...

Pros: Swivel screen, RAW format capabilities, great pictures

Cons: Viewfinder not perfect, can't use cheap memory cards

The Bottom Line: It's a great camera. If you want to get serious, perhaps you're considering an SLR but don't want to carry all the associated gear around, this is a good option.

Review: If you fancy getting serious about photography, but either can't afford an SLR, or just don't want the hassle of having to carry one around, then you really can't go far wrong with Canon's Powershot G6.

It's worth noting here that the...

Pros: Beautiful pictures, tons of options, easy to use

Cons: None, this camera is awesome

Review: I researched digital cameras for two years and ended up buying the most amazing camera I ever could have hoped for!

I am very particular when it comes to my pictures. I have only one daughter and cannot have any more children, so the...
