Re: Want to go back to a Canon Powershot, which one?

I've never had any of the G-series Canons, but I used the S95 for about 8 years and really liked it....I still like it and use it occasionally.  I think the 10MP in that camera and its CCD sensor produced lovey colors.  I remember when I bought it that Canon was saying they didn't want to boost the MP just to have more, and they were keeping the S95 to 10MP because they felt it performed better (especially in low light) at that level.

In 2018 I got the G7Xii and I like it a lot as well, no complaints, and it does offer newer and more features than the S95.  I had compared the G7Xii and the G1Xiii, and I really liked the ergonomics and viewfinder on the G1Xiii, but in comparing images of the two (there is a DPR shoot-out comparison of the two cameras) I found that I actually liked the images from the G7Xii a bit better, and wanted the longer zoom reach (100mm vs. 70) more than the viewfinder.  Still wish the G7Xii had a viewfinder, though.
