I've been shooting with Canons for 30+ years, both D-SLR, SLR and P&S. Never had one fail on me. Lucky I guess. That said, I think the G15 is an outstanding camera. It's hard to beat the fast lens and reach out to 140mm at f/2.8. The lens is terrific. If you can live with the larger size vs. the S series, I'd give it a try. Here are some sample images from my G15.

Is my experience systematic for Canon PnS cameras?

Will a G series (G15) mean another frustrating experience after a couple of months or is it just me - the guy with bad luck? What do you think, whats your experience with Canon Powershots?

Cheers,

Hi John,

Great photographs in your G15 gallery. My screen feels like looking out of a window.

I will give it a try buy a solid case and hope that I will not run into the same trouble again.

A pitty because I like the little S95 so much - and if the G15 would have the same lens control ring I would have already bought one.

Thanks for sharing your photographs.

Tom
