Professional Reviews of the Canon G6

  • 4.9 out of 5
Bottom line - the PowerShot G6 is an excellent camera (Steve's Digicams - 9/13/04)

Good ergonomics, swift performance, and impressive image quality earn the Canon PowerShot G6 a rave review from this pro. It's picture quality rivals that of expensive digital SLRs, providing great results indoor and out. read original review

photo quality that rivals (but does not equal) what you'd get from a digital SLR (DC Resource - 9/13/04)

Two thumbs up for the Canon PowerShot G6, which offers "excellent" photo quality and very little image noise (unlike many of the 8-megapixel cameras). Enhancements to the design of previous G-series cameras include a smaller body, better hand grip, and a larger 2" LCD screen. Downsides of the G6 include a lens that starts at 35mm, making wide angle work difficult, and the fact that the LCD is too dark to use in low-light conditions. read original review
