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.

I was really lusting after that G15 (or G16 for that matter) and wanted to find a way to return my Elph 330hs which is actually very good for a p/s at that low price point.......and put in some extra cash for a used G15.

However, I ended up getting a great deal on an open box Sony Nex 3nl and even though it's not all that pocketable (coat pocket yet, pants, not really)..........it's absolutely amazing and I never feel that my images are a compromise for when I don't want to drag out my dslr and lenses.
