Re: Yet another "Canon S120 or G16" thread :-)

I'm planning a night photo project in Italy in a few months and can't decide whether the S120 or G16 will do better with this kind of work.

Both open with f1.8 and the G16 closes down to a cool f2.8 in telephoto, compared to the S120's f4.9, so the G16 gets the edge there. But I'm just not sure how much telephoto I'll be using, say, along the canals of Venice at night. (I'm told that many a tipsy traveler has been lost in the water in the dark.)

I'd also like to keep my options open in terms of video and not sure how the G16's video compares to the excellent product the S120 puts out.

Anyone have experience that might come into play here?
