G6 vs V3
In Steve samples which I have seen (examples img_2304 for G6), G6 have clearest and much better picture quality with less noise than V3.... "What is more important, the G6's RAW transfer rate or the V3's incredibly fast response times?...

G6 Vs V3 ... [Page 3]
Phil in his conclusion for the V3 directly links the G6's better lens to the better image quality.... "Image quality wise it's [the V3] PERHAPSE A FRACTION behind the Canon PowerShot G6, only because the G6 has a better lens and a more sophisticated sharpening algorithm....

As for why Phil preferred the V3 overall to the G6 even though he suggests the G6 has better image quality ...... Surprisingly, the G6 is as fast or faster (at telephoto) than the V3 in auto focusing....

G6 Vs V3 ... [Page 7]
As Phil's **OBJECTIVE** tests and observations showed, the G6 exhibits less PF, less noise at all ISOs, less jpeg artifacting and less evidence of noise reduction than the V3.... My reason for picking the V3 over the G6 is focus speed and better shutterlag....

That must have something to do with the G6 having to let much more light in, due to a lower ISO setting than the V3.... Well the G6 pictures are definitely more "pleasing" than the V3....

The V3 is actually smaller than the G6.... The V3 does have RAW and TIFF file formats (just takes longer to store than the G6)...

New G6 vs. V3 shootout pictures
Well the G6 pictures are definitely more "pleasing" than the V3.... One thing though, I think the V3 is a little bit more noisy than the G6, but not much, and I blame Canons usual smooth looking images for disguising noise in pictures....

But dpreview's own tests shows the G6 edges the V3 in image quality, while the V3 edges the G6 in handling speed.... But, I still believe that both the V3 and the G6 are a perfect compliment in competition....
