Canon PowerShot G6
Designed in impressive sliver and black, Canon PowerShot G6 is a wonderfully refined version of PowerShot G5; with an improved sensor, bigger LCD and better shooting modes.
Apart from the improved look, you have an upgraded 7.1 megapixel CCD compared to G5’S 5 and a 2 inch LCD which comes with a rotating feature and in the process enhances its shooting flexibility. With a compressed body and a better grasp, it is much easier to carry.
Focal length of G6 is from f/2.0 to f/3.0, which is relatively satisfactory. G6 has a 4X optical zoom lens and a range of 7.2 to 28.8 mm (35 to 140 mm- 35mm equivalent).
While the professionals can find the operations pretty easy, thankfully for the novices Canon's catalogue is extensive and more importantly clear-cut. Menu navigation is made trouble-free via the precise functions of the controls and their logical arrangement. A couple of buttons are unique in the sense that they give you the provision to classifying and modify settings the way you want them to be.
Speaking of shootings settings, the mode dial delivers 12 shooting choices. And then, you are exposed to the special effects like black-and-white, sepia, low sharpening et al. Furthermore, you can utilize the white balance setting or any of the preloaded modes.
The flash cards provided enable you to save images in both the JPEG and RAW format. In fact, using the RAW technology you can even work extensively on post processing.
But a very big glitch comes in the form of the G6’s video shooting potential. It has a maximum resolution of 640 x 480. While the clips can only be of 30 seconds duration, the speed too is uninspiring at a paltry 10 frames per second.
Performance wise, G6 astounds with its admirable shooting capabilities. Pictures taken in bright daylight are near perfect. Colour reproduction and brightness is excellent even as there is the presence of a gentle noise. What’s more, the flash quality too isn’t far behind with good accuracy and exceptional elucidation, only a shade off colour at times. Noise irritations aren’t witnessed in the flash shots.
Boot-up time for G6 is exceptional at 4.3-seconds while recycling after shots shouldn’t take more than 2.7-seconds. This PowerShot camera has an imposing 1,650 lines of resolution.
The presence of so many exceptionally well working features certainly puts this 7.1 megapixel camera among the top bracket.

gr8 point and shoot camera
I brought the Canon Powershot G6 more than three months back. And it’s been a very healthy experience majority of the times using it. The looks of the camera are really trendy and weight isn’t all that bad either. Picture quality of G6 is really as good as one can expect from a point and shoot camera. There are bountiful of useful functions present in G6. 7MP sensor feature is good. There are in all 12 shooting modes which can be made use of for the different types of picture capturing. I also liked the special effects function provided. A disappointment definitely has to be the movie mode. Clips don’t look all that great and to cop it, the speed is tardy even for a amateurish camera. That apart, I don’t have too many complaints. At least it does its basic jobs of capturing images very well. I would high recommend this camera if anyone is looking for a point and shoot one which is very easy to use.
