Re: G16 a classic

I remember when the G16 came out, it was berated by many a reviewer because the image quality lagged behind the RX100 series. That is a true statement, but the G16 was a much more enjoyable camera to use. That great lens that went out to 140mm, great Canon color, lots of direct controls, decent AF, great battery life, and excellent build quality. The G5X almost hits that mark but the small battery (I'll forgive the shorter lens) is quite a letdown.

I think if Canon ever came out with a G17 and priced it reasonably, it would still sell. But the 1" sensor is pretty much the norm now.
