If you must have a Powershot, at least get the S110. It's the same sensor and processor as a G15, has a faster lens and fits into the pocket.

Correction, Skippy,

Actually the S110 lens is not faster. It ranges from f2.0 at 24mm to f5.9 at 120mm. While the G15 ranges from f1.8 at 28mm to f2.8 at 140mm and is better corrected in addition. The lens on the G15 is quite wonderful.

I'm in agreement with you. I just bought another G15 from the Canon refurb site. I never did give the G15 I had a good chance. I sold it soon after I got it because I happened upon a deal on a G1-X and felt the G15 was redundant, if not inferior. I only managed about 200 shots with the G15 and although they looked promising, that wasn't enough time to really get to know that camera. So I'm no expert there but, I have owned a G9, G12, G1-X, S100 and S110 so I kinda know my Powershots a little.

I have an Olympus XZ-2 which I don't like that much, not sure why. I'm going to match up the G15 to the XZ-2 and do a little shoot out, if you will. Should be interesting because on paper, the XZ-2 is better. My previous results differed from the "paper", so we'll see. I'll try to be scientific about it, as best I can.

Cheers.
