Re: Image Quality: Is newer better?

I have an Powershot A640, love it, I even have the underwater housing for it. I've splashed around on the surface but I'm too chicken to apply the grease provided and submerge to 20+m.

The new ones like G12, Nikon P7700, etc have a better screen, a bit more resolution (for stills and video), but they don't take better pictures. It comes down to the photographer, lighting & composition.

I would get a G15 but it has no articulating viewfinder. IMO the new stuff is a bit more competent but not much better than your A640/650.
