This exciting successor in the high-performance G-Series takes a big step forward with a new Optical system that optimizes the impressive 7.1-Megapixel CCD for crystal clear image quality. And while the camera is loaded with SLR-style functions and sports a 2-inch LCD monitor, it's more compact than its predecessor, the G5. The Canon PowerShot G6 incorporates much of what we like about the G5, including the same fast 35mm-to-140mm (35mm equivalent) lens and built-in neutral density filter, in a marginally more compact and slightly lighter body. Canon also adds a large, solid grip and ups the standard continuous-shooting speed to about 2fps (frames per second).
