I'm looking to purchase another PowerShot and have been considering a used G11 or going for a new G15. The G15's are going at some very attractive prices right now. But is it worth the additional cost over the G11?

The faster lens and faster autofous of the G15 is well worth it. As are full HD video including optical zoom during video.  I know someone with a G10 and recently got photos from him taken at ISO 400.  I had originally thought they were photos from his cell phone.  They were shot JPG but the noise smearing and lack of detail were truly eye opening.  When shooting RAW, the G15 does pretty good up to ISO 1600 for snapshots - family gatherings, etc.  I'm not talking for gallery quality images.  The faster lens and faster autofocus do very well indoors.

The G16 is to have about 40% faster autofocus than even the G15.
