I am in a similar situation Keith. I have a G10 that have had for a few years now and was thinking about an update. Like you I am surprised at how little excitement there seems to be about the G16. I like the format and feel of the G series, particularly the external controls. Two things have held me back so far, the lack or articulated screen and the lack of GPS. I like to geotag all my outdoor photos. I have been looking at the possibility of the new Panasonic TZ-60 (ZS40) as I like the long reach lens. But I have a feeling I will be disappointed with the image quality in comparison to the G series. If you do get the G16 I will be interested to know what you think of it. I might even look at the G1X mk2 and see how it feels in comparison when its available.

I have bought many Canon Gs my first a G2 today i have a 5 a 7 a 10 a 11 a 15 and the 16. IMHO i feel all around the new 16G is the best.

Oddly enough my only other Canon G was a G6, one you haven't had.  It was very good in its day, but slow by todays standards.  I may go and have a look at a G16 tomorrow and see how it feels.
