Re: G16 question/advice

Thanks for all your thoughts and feedback.

I think what I perceived as a lack of enthusiasm for the G16, really has more to do with the fact that there are so many new options between a camera like this and a full blow dslr. Particularly all the mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses and some of the “tweeners” like the G1X sporting a big sensor. They’re getting a lot of attention that the Gs used to.

For many, these other options are better suited for their needs.

Clearly there are also still many that find the G16 and the G series in general to be an excellent camera and a great fit for their needs.

After a lot of thought and deliberation, I find myself in this category. I picked up a G16 yesterday. I’m lovin’ it. It’s super fast compared to my G11 on every level. It also performs so much better in low light. Although I miss the functionality of the articulated lcd a little, the G16 has a great look and feel to it without that.

I’m stoked. It totally meets any expectations I had built up about it.

Cheers,
Keith
