The best thing about the Canon Powershot G6 is the image quality. In fact, I think the image quality of the G6 is comparable to 6 megapixel digital SLRs like the Canon Digital Rebel and the Nikon D70. Canon’s fast, 4x zoom lens paired with the 7-megapixel sensor makes for a camera with powerful photo potential. The Sony-made sensor is truly wonderful. Just so you know, this sensor is available in a bunch of other flavors, including Sony (because they make it), Olympus, Casio, and others. If you like the image quality but aren’t sold on the G6, you should take a look at some of the other cameras that use the same sensor. But be aware that the sensor isn’t the whole story. Image quality is a combination of the sensor, the lens, and the camera’s processor. The G6 package is a proven combination.
