Canon Powershot G6 ... versatile, the PowerShot G6 packs a vast array of advanced technology into a compact, ergonomic body, all working in concert to unleash new levels of photographic control.

From the minute you pick it up, the PowerShot G6 inspires confidence. All key controls fall immediately under your fingertips and the rubberized 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.

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

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).

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 favorite combination of settings.

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.

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.

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

For total post-shoot control, the PowerShot G6 supports simultaneous JPEG and lossless RAW image recording for both flexibility and flawless 'digital negatives'. ZoomBrowser (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Mac) help manage your work, while ArcSoft PhotoStudio provides extensive image editing and manipulation options.

Your PowerShot G6 is fully PictBridge and Canon Direct Print compliant, allowing it to connect and print directly to any compatible photo printer.

 ... be. This means you can take photos from the ground, or take photos of yourself or things behind you. If this sounds like a good feature now, you'd be amazed at just how many uses you can find for it. Of course it does have a viewfinder as well, though it's not that great as it cuts off a little bit of the picture. Battery life is good considering the screen, and one charge can last about 6-8 hours depending on how much playing you do. The camera has 9 focus points, and has an auto focus option where it consta...more

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. While it has been replaced by the new G9, this camera is still a serious bit of kit. You get a reasonable 4x optical zoom, 7.1 megapixels, and a good range of aperture, from as low as f/2.0, so it's nice and fast, even in darker conditions. The screen isn't the biggest, it's about 2", but the great thing with this one is that you can flip the screen out, swivel it round and close it even backwards if need be. This means you can take photos ...  Read the complete review

Good build quality and easy to use . A lack of features, and not the quality you would expect from a 12 megapixel Canon .

Cheap on the second hand market, great quality in build and picture only 4MP - but does this really matter on a Point and Shoot?

Great camera, relatively cheap, well built and well worth the money Smallish screen, succeded by the 30D

3 Megapixel - SD Memory Card

AMAZING detail captured, underwater feature that is just as stunning! NO BLUR = great action shots price varies dramatically-do shop around
