Canon G6 - I love it!
Strengths: Superb sharp photographs, which will print to 20" x 16". Acurate metering and focussing. A whole raft of user accessible settings, that will take weeks to explore. Incredible battery life.
Weakness: Crummy little cover over the AV/DC/Digital ports (will almost certainly break off one day). On/off button too easy to accidentally trigger (I trimmed mine shorter with a craft knife to solve this)
I've been running this camera for over six-months after retiring my Hasselblad. I wanted a camera that would produce upto 20 x 16 prints, but didn't need a suitcase of accessories to do the job. The G6 fits the role nicely. The zoom and focussing are quick and accurate. In the six-months I've used the camera I guess I've only binned a handful of shots because of inaccurate focus, out of 1000+...

Worthy Successor to the G3
Strengths: Fast f/2-3 35-140mm Lens, Excelent Image Quality, Excelent Color, Excelent Dynamic range, Low Noise, High Power Flash, and EVERY manual control you can think of!
Weakness: Movie mode, No USB2, Size
Best in current non SLRs: Fastest Lens Color Reproduction Dynamic Range Best in class: Image Quality Flash Noise Manual Control RAW buffering Better Than Average in class: Focus speed (Good enough though, and much much better than previous Canons. This one can finaly focus on moving kids!!) Weak in class: Movie mode: 640x480 @ 10fps for 30 sec. 320x240 @ 15fps for 180 sec. No USB2

I experimented with the G5 for...
Strengths: Improvements over G5 in size, faster start up, picture quality, high speed continuous shooting, bigger LCD, lighted status screen, and built in neutural density filter.
Weakness: I only wish it comes in black and has USB 2.0 connection.
I experimented with the G5 for several days and decided to purchase the G6 after reading about its improvements. I was impressed. (See items listed in 'Strengths' section. The noise at ISO 400 was noticeably lower than the G5. The high speed continuous shooting mode was great to capture people in motion. Both were features I couldn't do very well with the G5. The new button positions allowed...

I got this camera several days ago...
Strengths: Excellent Picture Quality, Great software, Nice sturdy body
Weakness: Big Camera
I got this camera several days ago after researching extensively the high end point and shoots. I was torn between the G6, Olympus 5060, and the Canon S70. After many tens of hours of researching, I purchased the G6 online for $570.00 shipped to my door. I have only had it a few days and I can't believe how great the pictures turn out! Even in low light!! And the panoramic abilities and the...

Very accurate exposure readings...
Strengths: Fast focus and quick shutter for a point and shoot camera. Easy to use LCD menu icons so you can change on the fly. Exposure accurate images. The G6 has almost everything my 10D has in functions.
Weakness: A little pricey but I saved over $200 by buying online vs my neighborhood camera store.
Very accurate exposure readings compared to a handheld meter. You can shoot in Jpeg without worrying about over or under exposure shots so you can save room on your cards. No need to shoot Raw unless you need to fix something in Photoshop but you do have the option. You can control all functions from aperture to shutter speed yourself for a very professional shot or just let the camera do it on...
