I have been looking forward to upgrading my G12 for one with faster operation and better IQ especially in low light. It seems like the G series is lagging behind its competition in the P&S segment.

One of the first reviews, but I think more will agree with it

The review is very positive, and the reviewer has a lot of good things to say about the camera.  What exactly is the disappointment?  That it's not an RX100?  I have the RX100m2, and it's a fine camera, but it has issues of it's own.  The issues you mention, faster operation and better IQ in low light, have seen improvement in each iteration of the G-series following your camera.  Plus, the new DIGIC 6 processor in the G16 makes for some super fast AF, and better JPG processing.  Don't underestimate the value of improved processing software in the camera.  I think it's enough of an improvement that I'm picking up a G16 tomorrow after work.
