Re: Which is a better option ? Canon S120, G16 or Sony RX100

The S120 at that price ponit, it is way overpriced, but good camera, good IQ en the smallist of the group, but if You can go for S110 like Jon said simular IQ, not as fast AF but 200 USD less.

The RX100 has by far the best IQ of the 3, for colors  (I always liked canon colors more, but if you tweaked a little bit the colors of RX100 it is not bad and let's say it is a persononel taste). The menu's of RX100 is also not that initiative, for me it is harder to find something in the menu's of with a canon . It is not as small as S120 by a little bit but the S120 is much easier to hold, the RX100 has a slippery finish and I need with my RX100 a grip, also personal (cheapest one , the sony grip is 15 USD more) and there is no external charger included (I don't like USB-charging) so sony external charge + 45 USD (there are cheaper one's on the internet to). Last point, don't forget the image stabilisation of RX100 is a joke compared to the canon's. But I like mine RX00,just for the IQ.

The G16 is a solid camera, not as small as the other 2, but much easier to handle. I always liked the G-series, good IQ. Also the F1.8 to 2.8 is a big plus, brighter of the othet 2. The G series is a joy to use.
