I love me G12, but...

I love my G12, but I want a wider angle (24mm) and optical zoom/AF during video.  The G15 *almost* does it for me, but its still not quite a wide angle. (also too bad about losing the ISO control, but I can handle using the rear control)

Anyhoo, before I spend the bux on a G15, I thought I would ask around and see what others suggest.

Here is what I like:

- manual control, with physical knobs

- compact and rugged(ish) - cute little tank

- great IQ

- great macro

- built in flash

- optical zoom/AF during video - 1080p/24fps

- 24mm/5x zoom

I dont use the viewfinder, hot shoe, flip out view finder.

I have hunted trough the specs/snapsort but didn't see anything that would fit these needs.

Sony RX-1 - crappier wide angle,worse macro, slower  lens, bigger sensor

Nikon P7700 - similar features, no wider angle

Panasonic DMC-LX7 - faster lens, wider angle, lower resoulation, 60p 1080p.  ONLY 3.8x zoom

Samsung EX2F  - less zoom 3.3x, faster lens, wider angle

Canon PowerShot G12 Canon PowerShot G15 Nikon Coolpix P7700
