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

But it says:

"On the face of it, the G16 may not look like much of an upgrade over its predecessor. The heart of any camera, the lens and processor combination, remain as before and it doesn't look all that different from the G15.

But look beneath the surface and there's plenty to get excited about. First, there's the new Digic 6 processor, providing faster AF and reducing shutter lag, which makes the G16 a faster surer camera than its predecessor and greatly increases your chances of getting a shot in situations where speed matters. It also provides the G16 with very respectable continuous shooting that outclasses most of its competitors and is a huge advance on the mediocre burst shooting offered by its predecessor"

Seems pretty positive. But I'll keep using my G15. Perhaps you should upgrade from G12 to G15
