otalp, congratulations on keeping your G6 alive for what seems like eons in the digital age!
For those unfamiliar with that camera, the G6 was released in August, 2004....
Thank you for the flowers! To my experience, shooting RAW the G6 still delivers nice images. The f/2 lens is excellent and its 7.1 mp images are sufficient even for 30x40 cm² prints. For fast snapshots, you do need to manual pre-focus, though.
