The Canon PowerShot G6 receives a redesign
that makes it smaller and lighter than the popular
PowerShot G5 it replaces. It follows in the good
design that characterized the G5, keeping the
AF Assist Beam, the swivelling / rotating / tilting
LCD monitor, and the LCD Display Panel on top
of the body.
The Canon G6 now features 7.1 megapixels resolution,
keeps a 4x optical zoom but in a new optical system,
a fast (large) F2.0 maximum aperture, Macro as
close as 5 cm (2 in.) covering approx. 48 x 36mm
(1.9 x 1.4in.), and full exposure flexibility.
A Super Macro mode covers approx. 24 x 18mm (0.9
x 0.7in.) in 3 megapixels resolution.
The AF Frame is movable across the screen to
permit off-center focusing. RAW File Format is
available. A histogram can be displayed in Playback.
The camera can even be controlled by PC. The LCD
monitor is now 2 in. -- and the lens does not
block the viewfinder anymore. The Canon G6 is
PictBridge-compatible allowing direct printing
from camera to PictBridge-compatible photo printers.
The Canon PowerShot G6 is targeted to
advanced amateur photographers who desire total
control over the features of their cameras.
