Ah, so it was you that bought that G15.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has had the G16 (or 15 even) and the G1X.

I can read the specs but in real world usage, what are the main differences and/or strengths and weakness of each? The bigger sensor sounds great. Bigger price tag, not so much.

I ended up returning the G15.  It's not fair, but compared to my T2i, the pics were just not acceptable to me.  I used it in late afternoon in my house, and it kept cranking the ISO too high in not what I would call low light.

Plus, it was bigger than I was hoping.  I ordered an S110 someone posted a link to for $159.  I figure if I'm going to have the tradeoff of IQ for something smaller, I should go with SMALLER and truly pocketable.  Plus the wider 24mm will come in handy for travel.
