Canon PowerShot G6 Details

Editors' Comments

The much-anticipated Canon PowerShot G6 brings 7-megapixel resolution, a 2" LCD screen, and a slick new body design to Canon's popular G-Series camera line. Coming on the heels of the popular PowerShot G3 and G5, the G6 has big shoes to fill, but the Editors at Digital Camera HQ are optimistic that Canon is up to the task. The G6's 7-megapixel imaging sensor is sure to keep resolution junkies happy, while the 2" LCD screen will be a welcome relief for anyone that is tired of squinting at small screens (the G5 had a 1.8" screen). A standard remote control and Canon's excellent software bundle round out the package.
