Re: G15 for my Wife?
Always difficult to respond to posts like this .. as buying/choosing a camera is ALWAYS very much a personal thing.... But I've used G models over many years.. scattered along the way and from a G2 to G7 and G9. Not had one since the latter as I just thought they were getting bigger and bulkier for what was supposed to be a "compact"... then quite out of the blue.. about a few weeks ago in a local big Superstore which sells photo gear plus various household goods such as TVs, Washers etc etc..there in front of my eyes was a G15..tethered of course but still usable in the hand.. and the very instant I pcked it up I loved it. Actually had bought one within a week.. and it still just simply delights me. It has all the popular features that many seem to want.. and although I'm not a camera-carrier in such as pants-pockets or things like that which many people seem to think necessary..I carry this type on a single-point attached neck cord - under my jacket when not in use but readily available when needed for a quick shot.. this G15 will actually fit in my shirt-pocket..I tried it just out of curiosity.. but it will..
That apart though.. I get wonderful..AND EASY.. pics from it - set in my usual P mode, JPGs, AutoWB & Auto ISO generally.. works a treat and whist I ALWAYS do edits..very minor but along with a sensible downsize for viewing..about 1200x longest.. I get super results with it -and I'm quite sure your wife should do. Takes a pic really close without having to switch to Macro.. goes comfortably to about 6-inches.. nice zoom for most uses.. just gives a delightful pic..
Can give you plenty of examples if of use....
