I'm also in the race for a new compact and decided to go for the G15 as well. Just waiting for my money and then I will purchase it asap. Regarding the highlight clipping: It seems the G15 is prone...

Maybe it's because of the 13.3 'physical' and 12.1 effective pixels?

There's a typo, Jeff. You wrote: "Battery lifeThe two cameras are fairly close in terms of battery life, with the PowerShot G15 able to take 330 shots per charge, compared to 350 on the Coolpix...

Hear hear!

I'm glad you solved that riddle, Carl. Seems I'm still going for that G15 :-)

Maybe you both have some residual moisture inside your camera, which shows its ugly head every time you switch between moist/cold and dry/warm environments. Best practice: bury it in a bag of...

Carl, would you mind looking into this http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3495141 ? Thanks

I don't think those settings have anything to do with the G15's erratic exposure behaviour Gary is talking about. After months of deliberation between the P330, P7700, MX-1, LX7, XZ-20 and others,...

Are you sure it's for your wife? :-D 'Cause if she really likes the G11, why not get her the G15? OK, it's 28-140mm 'only', but it gets very good reviews from pros and users. Fast lens, AF and...

Thank you for putting it into a proper English one-liner :-)

There will always be something newer and supposedly better. And that G16 will probably go for $/€650 or more, while the very capable G15 is now available for about $/€400. Take your pick.

We want to see them! Share them with us, please.

I don't own an SX50, but I'd like to comment on the battery issues. Newer generations of batteries don't have a capacity 'memory' so officially you're not supposed to drain them before charging,...

Hi Eric, thanks for another informative post! You wrote "the 45mm was not using its PDAF", but the 45mm doesn't have build in PDAF, does it? Isn't it an NX300 characteristic?

I like yours better. Better color and you zoomed in on the spots. Nice and impressive. Keep 'm coming those wonders from space, er.... from the SX50 ;-)

Mucho kudos to you, Eric. You're quite a help. Thanks! And enjoy your weekend :-)

Eric, you spoiled me by now :-D so I take the opportunity to ask another question: How is the feel/smoothness of the manual focus ring? (Did not see that subject being mentioned here or in your...

Thanks, but I'm afraid that's all too scientific for me. The result is what matters.

That's the part I don't understand :-O That sounds good :-D That is very dark indeed :-| Yes, that's the part I know :-) Yes, I noticed that too :-) Thank you very much again, Eric

Thanks a lot, Eric! Appreciate that. Strange that it failed to focus completely. Probably 'cause you kept it at ISO100, because my 30mm performs quite well with the latest NX11 lens & body...
