Re: G11 Upgrade Time

I had a G9 and G12. Recently purchased the G16 and found the upgrade to the Digic 6 processor fixed all of the speed issues that I used to complain about. I don't use WiFi so can't comment about it's implementation. Ergonomics still feel the best to me of any advanced compact (fast, confident handling without accidentally hitting buttons for me) and the camera is pocket-able in all but tight jeans or shirt pocket. The much maligned OVF works very well when you need it. IQ is great if not using high ISO and going above 16" X 20" prints. Customization of buttons, menus etc seems endless and makes shooting a pleasure. The newer downloadable DPP 3.14.48 (8/20/15) supporting the G16 works great for both JPEG and RAW post processing. Try all the competitors you can. I found the G16 holds it's own very well and my familiarity with it led me to continue with the G series.
