A great lens with an outdated, low efficiency sensor does not make give you great IQ!

According to a recent email from Chuck Westfall, the G16 does not use the same sensor as the G15, but rather uses a new BSI-CMOS sensor instead, which is likely manufactured by Sony, since Canon does not have BSI capability. (See the last few posts in this thread. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52031522

So … a new sensor, a new lens and a new processor … has Canon really be sleeping at the switch?
