"Since the introduction of the PowerShot G1 in 2000 (I bought one of
those – ed.), Canon’s flagship G-series has stood at the very top of the
semi-pro digital compact market, and has done a lot to help maintain
Canon’s enviable reputation for quality and design. The previous camera
in the series was the G6, launched in 2004, which featured a
7.1-megapixel sensor, a very fast f/2.0-3.0 4x zoom lens and RAW mode
recording, as well as other useful features such as a tilt & twist LCD
monitor, full manual exposure control, spot metering, interval timer and
an IR remote control included as standard. It is a camera with a
fantastic reputation, and very popular with serious enthusiast
photographers."
