Canon does not deserve a Gold rating for the G15. But whatever... it's Canon, it's a G, so it's gonna get treated with kid gloves compared to some other brands.

Gotta love that tiny little sensor.

I totally agree Brian.

A camera (G15)...good as it is..that is not innovative in any significant way...being awarded gold is ridiculous.

Cheapens the meaning of gold award no matter what the 'excuse' for the label.

The Sony RX 100 which is truly the first compact groundbreaking large sensor camera gets a silver...while a mildly improved non innovative non groundbreaking camera like the G15 gets a gold.

Makes a mockery of the awards...

In terms of lens the G15's is quite a bit longer and only marginally slower than the LX7's which in my opinion makes it a more flexible camera. But the lens is of course only one element of the whole thing.

Don't mind the length, but what about the width, gold for an old design that doesn't even have 24mm wide lens, I am as bewildered as everyone else.
