Not happy with G16 as an upgrade

I'll wait to see what the G17 or P7900 comes with

My major requirement for upgrading my G12 will be to get MUCH better IQ, not just faster processing and faster AF time. I don’t think the G15 or G16 has THAT much better IQ or DR to justify an upgrade yet.

I’m going to wait for the G17 to see if it has much better IQ at higher ISO's, sensor size, sensor efficiency, longer focal range, weather sealing, an EVF like the P7800, articulating display (like they used to have), touch screen, bounce flash, panorama mode. I don’t expect ALL of these features, but would like to see the majority of them included, especially a larger/better sensor. I will also be keeping an eye on what Nikon comes out with in the P7900 since it has a better/sharper/longer lens than the G15/16. I don’t do much low light shooting, mostly outside in sunny south Florida, so more reach is important to me.

I also think you are making a very wise decision to keep your G15 and wait to see what the G17 comes with, just like the majority of people who voted in this pole.
