My friend asked me for a camera recommendation "around $300". What are you looking for I ask. Something like my G12 (work camera). Upon then investigating it appears both the G16 and Olympus Stylus 1S have been discontinued, I imagine others as well. I do see G16 refurbs are still available at the Canon store. Is there no room for a $300 1/1.8" camera for those that want something that's clearly a step ahead of a cell phone or small sensor camera, yet does not want to spend $500 and up for a 1" sensor camera? I see on ebay, they are getting a pretty penny for used G15 and 16's.

You forget that the G16 retailed for $550 upon release.
