Canon PowerShot G6 Digital Camera

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 the previous model!
