Hissing in video mode
It could be a little more adventurous
No tilting LCD
It's pricey
Only really what the G16 lacks
Namely a tilting rear panel LCD. The price will be on the high side for anyone who doesn't already own a DSLR that such an outlay could alternatively buy
Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over t...

The Canon PowerShot G16 produces very good photos in bright light, and the fast lens, optical viewfinder, and relatively streamlined design make it nice to use. Plus, it finally delivers solid continuous shooting
A mediocre Wi-Fi implementation, no articulated LCD, and lack of manual controls while shooting video are among the ways in which the G16 lags behind the competition. And other cameras deliver better photos in low light
While the Canon PowerShot G16 is better than the G15 and remains a nice enthusiast compact, its low-light photo quality disappoints for the money.
If you already own a G15 that's working well, there are few reasons to upgrade to the G16 unless you really want the Wi-Fi connectivity and/or the new Star shooting modes. The small improvements in autofocusing speed are not enough to justify a swap.But i...
Solid build quality, Small size, F/1.8 lens, Fast performance
Wi-Fi didn't always work properly for us, Screen isn't hinged, No EVF
Canon's PowerShot G16 is a solidly built compact that supplies good versatility thanks to its f/18 lens and fast overall performance. We suggest considering it if you want something with a fixed lens that can capture images in high detail...
Full manual control, Raw format shooting, Builtin WiFi
No touchscreen, Limited flexibility with digital filters, Can't use WiFi for remote shooting
Canon always produces solid performers in its G series cameras. While that's appealing to the traditionalist crowd, it is now fighting a harder battle than ever before to keep market share in the crowded premium compact market. While it's true that the G1...

The Canon G series of cameras has sat at the top of the compact pile for several years and there are signs that Canon is taking its customers for granted. The phone app is not worth the effort of installation. The lack of a swivelling LCD is odd for a top...

The image quality is good, with an excellent dynamic range. The camera is responsive and a pleasure to hold and use, with fast autofocus. The large aperture lens is excellent.
The lack of manual and software is annoying. The slip of paper that passes for a quick start guide sends the user to the home page of the Canon corporate web site. After that you are on your own, burrowing through layers of interweb stuff looking for the

The bottom line is that the Canon PowerShot G16 is a great compact camera if you're after something that you can have a lot of control over, and something that will deliver very good overall picture quality. We love the WYSIWYG screen, the fast lens, and...
