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

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.

Any major improvement would likely take a larger sensor. And that would mean a larger camera -- or a slower lens -- since optics scale with sensor size. I was pleased when Canon decided to go with faster optics in the G15. I'd also like wider (24 mm vs. 28 mm) which is probably doable with the G format and size. But the f/1.8-2.8 selection was good because it keeps ISO down in most shooting situations.
