I pick the G6 just because I have one.

 

care to post up any of your pics you took with the g6?

 

very similar, but the g6 does look a tad bit better

 

wow.......!

Don't judge the camera by the way my pictures look. I'm an amateur at best.

 

Canon gets my vote anyday!!!!

 

haha i was looking to save some money but it looks like the G6 is the favorite so far. keep em comin!!!

 

anyone else?

 

The G6 is one of the closest fixed lens cameras to an SLR (image quality wise).

Between the two, I vote Canon.

 

anyone else??

 

I vote Canon.

 

i have a canon that i enjoy.

can i ask where the 580-150 mail in rebate is at?

 

well i can't really tell by just the pictures shown. both digi's are super nice tho!

 

buydig.com is where i priced both of them. they have really good deals!!

edit:i also made a mistake on the zoom on the 5700, its 8x zoom instead of 4x!!

 

they look like some really good pics... but it'd be better to say if they were the same picture's from each camera..

 

I'd go for the G6. In my experience Canons are a little more user-friendly than Nikons.

 

i'd go with G6. very capable camera. btw, are you sure the G6 is more than 5 megapixels?

edit: goddamn, nm. the G6 has 7.1 megapixels?

 

Damn, those photos are great!!

 

super clear pics

 

both pictures from both cameras suck because u used we-todd-did hosting

why you gotta be hatin? wat else do you want me to use?

 

The Canon because the Digic processor is the fastest and most efficient in the business. Its like a AMD processor. Canon uses their own processors that they have developed over the last 16 years (starting in 88 Seoul Olympics). ALL other cameras use a processor made by either Sony or Olympus. ANd you know what Sony pics are like. I sell Canon Digital cameras and I also sell Sony and Panasonic. I have owned the top 3 digital brand cameras and by far the most superior is Canon. Sorry about the long write up but I am bad at recommeding stuff that I like and I know that works.

Thanks for your time.

 

no, thank you for your time!!

 

they are both point and shoot, and they both will perform well for the money spent.
