I have a Canon G6 I like it because it is small enough to fit in a large pocket. It takes top quality pics. that will print big enough for most uses. It is versatile enough to give me creative control. I hadn't thought of it as a like but looking above it definitely is - it will focus on anything even in complete darkness and has a movable focus/metering point. Noise reduction is especially good on long exposures. It has multi swivel lcd so can be used in virtually any shooting situation eg above head in a crowd, pointing at you, etc. etc. (no way could I have caught my reflection in the simon image if I hadn't been able to see it). Dislike: The brand name. It doesn't have a bulb setting and I want to take pics. with exposures of longer than 15secs.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
