I agree 70mm isn't enough reach. However, I am looking for a camera that I can grab on the go to shoot my grand babies. I don't always want to go to the trouble of getting out the 6d and the flash and lug it around waiting for that cute moment. A hotshoe isn't a deal breaker. The G16 would be fine especially at its current price. But remember, I AM Pi$$T OFF AT CANON!!

I do admit though I may have to swallow my pride.

Why exactly are you so pi$$t? Was it just the fact that you were waiting for an incremental replacement of the G16 that did not materialize because Canon - like any for profit company - spent its R&D Dollars where it saw the bigger market (large sensor compacts like G1X2, G3X and G7X)? Something like this can happen to you with any camera company. Especially in the compact camera space (Hello Nikon?). I have the G7X which can be a nice replacement. Especially with the darker days ahead of us (assuming you are not from Australia or New Zealand). Lack of a viewfinder may be a bummer but the bright lens in combination with the large sensor are a benefit. Price wise the G16 is of great value though. Alternatively you can go with Fujis X30. The Sony takes great photos but is frustratingly complicated to operate.
