If you’re looking for an advanced digicam – or trading up to more advanced level then the G6 might just be for you.
Successor to the popular PowerShot G5 the new PowerShot G6 was announced on 19th August 2004. At the beginning of the year it became clear that Canon wouldn't be jumping on the six megapixel 1/1.8" CCD bandwagon, instead they were holding off for the higher resolution seven megapixel sensor and chose to introduce both the G6 and S70 with this CCD in August. The increase in output pixel count from the G5 to the G6 is quite a bit more (2.0 million pixels) than from the G3 to the G5 (1.2 million pixels) and so it's likely that the G6 will be of considerable interest to G5 owners and also those G3 owners who chose not to upgrade to the G5.

Steve's Conclusion Building on the very successful PowerShot
Canon PowerShot G
Successor to the popular PowerShot G5 the new PowerShot G6 was announced on 19th August 2004. At the beginning of the year it became clear that Canon wouldn't be jumping on the six megapixel 1/1.8" CCD bandwagon, instead they were holding off for the higher resolution seven megapixel sensor and chose to introduce both the G6 and S70 with this CCD in August. The increase in output pixel count from the G5 to the G6 is quite a bit more (2.0 million pixels) than from the G3 to the G5 (1.2 million pixels) and so it's likely that the G6 will be of considerable interest to G5 owners and also those G3 owners who chose not to upgrade to the G5.
Slimmer and sleeker than the PowerShot G5, Canon's PowerShot G6 has the same lens but a larger grip and vari-angle monitor. Improved DiG!C image processing makes the G6's zoom more responsive, with 13 selectable positions and the ability to move from wide to tele in less than two seconds. New AF algorithms improve focusing speed and a 9-point AiAF system has been added to the AF options, along with a new super macro mode.
Canon PowerShot G6 (Compact Camera): 5 out of 5 stars from 2 genuine reviews on Australia's largest opinion site ProductReview.com.au.
