canon G16 vs G5x

whooohoo - very happy to advise i went with the G5x and it is gorgeous.  just picked it up and in relation to the G11 i have (with now unusable dials) my immediate impressions (without having used it yet) is :

smaller in my hand than the G11

lovely feel to it - no plastic, weight and substance in the handling - though not heavy.

great screen, a little wider, thinner and great clarity

cant wait to try it out ... will sit down tonight with the 'manual'.

thank you to all who were very kind in bringing in their perspectives which DID help clarify things for me ... even though it seems i was unsure (and i was) ... previous post with replies here http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/56814109

thanks again

Happy to see you went with the G5X and even happier to know you seem to like it. Hope the IQ stands up to your needs.

I've only had mine for a couple of days and I agree with your sentiments.
