Both the G15 and G16 are quite good. The G16 had some small improvements though (including handheld HDR for jpegs), but nothing so big. If the price was close I would get the G16, of course, but if the G15 is much less and if you want to save money then I would say the G15 would be fine.

without having handled either, it seemed for my intended use the major difference would be the increased AF speed and reduced shutter lag due to the Digic VI processor. Coming from dSLRs this might be the thing I would notice most (?)

thoughts on that?

There is supposed to be some possible advantage at high ISO / low light because of the slightly different sensor. I've read about the increased fps but that isn't really a big deal for me.

There are some button layout differences too but they don't get mentioned in the discussion threads so suspect that is 6 one / half dozen the other.

In terms of prices, it seems I could probably get a G16 for ~Au$250 and there is a local G15 for Au$150. I had been leaning to a G16 because of the new processor/speed.
