Elaka, unfortunately the G15's HDR mode was also worthless - completely unusable without a tripod and no control over the tiny exposure range. :(

Jostian, unfortunately there's a big difference between "similar IQ" and "same IQ". Not to speak of a fast lens on the tele side.

I Agree. P mode and definitely -1/3 or even -2/3 exposure sometimes, especially when shooting faces in outside light to avoid loss of detail and skin texture due to clipping.

Probably comparable.

The sturdiness but especially the IQ of all cameras in this class lead me to think they're at best suitable as a gift for my kid to take to the beach or poolside.

This! But of course not just the sensor size but the IQ too. And something more reasonable like an F4 at the zoom end shouldn't be too hard...

You guys are right - I was looking at JPG :-)

I'm disappointed with the lack of details in the studio images above 800 iso - IQ way lower than my old Canon 600D. Can that be right??

Yep, indeed all that money their advertisers get from us!
Or is DPR a charity now?

I use a Canon G15 myself for baby and toddler in and outdoors when I don't have my DSLR. Never needed a flash except for when they're moving too much. But if you can afford one, go for the Sony...
