Re: G16 question/advice

I'm also considering the G16. Looking to downgrade from my T2i that is just too bulky and doesn't do a great job indoors (unless I put the 430exii flash on==even more bulky). The wife also won't use it.

But I'm looking at the $299 price of the G15 on b&h and thinking that's a pretty good deal, compared to the $449 the G16 is now. Not concerned about the wifi (I have an eyefi card that I find good enough).

My primary use is family photos, mostly small kids indoors with daylight or low light. Is a G15/G16 going to be a huge step down for me? Will my external flash be useful with a G, or would it be too big for that camera?

But if the speed of the G16 is that significant and would help me keep up with small kids, that would be worth it.
