    Feels great
    From the minute you pick it up, the PowerShot G6 inspires confidence. All key controls fall immediately under your fingertips and the rubberised grip makes the camera feel like an extension of your hand. Flip out the large 2.0" vari-angle LCD and you are ready for anything.

    Resolution to burn
    The 7.1 Megapixel resolution allows detailed prints in excess of A3 size and prints without loss of detail from tight, post-shoot crops.

    Precision lens
    Great in low light conditions, the fast f/2.0 - f/3.0 lens has a versatile focal length range of 7.2 to 28.8mm (35-140mm equivalent in 35mm format).

    Wealth of options
    An SLR-style Mode Dial allows you to call up any one of 12 different shooting modes. Two custom modes can be used to save and retrieve your favourite combination of settings.

    High-performance
    With incredible speed, Canon's purpose-built DIGIC processor executes the complex algorithms required for accurate image rendering. The result is superb quality images, more accurate focusing and metering, longer battery life and fast start-up times.

    iSAPS Technology
    Like a built-in photographer's assistant, iSAPS improves auto exposure, auto white balance and auto focus accuracy by monitoring settings and readings, and using these to interpret the shooting situation.

    Stay focused
    When you need to be fast, the 9-point AiAF focuses quickly on your subject, even when it is off-centre. For full control, FlexiZone AF/AE allows scrolling and selection of the auto focus point from across the frame.

    Room to grow
    For professional lighting results, the PowerShot G6 is compatible with all Canon Speedlite flash unitsą. Optional converter lenses further extend the camera's range.

    What do we think?


    The G6 takes everything we like about the G5 and builds on it to provide a camera that can provide incredibly clear results using its 7.1 mega pixel chip.  We love the moveable LCD screen on the back - why all cameras do not do this, we cannot understand.

     

    For those requiring the ultimate quality, the G6 is able to take RAW photos - quite a rare feature on non-SLR cameras.

     

    Whether you want control over your photos or just an exceptionally good point and shoot camera (admittedly it is slightly bigger than pocket size), the G6 is worth a try.
