Canon's newest G-series compact asks, "Why mess with success?"

I got this product from Souq within 2 days from my purchase date and time which was the best thing I liked. I already have a SLR so I wanted something small but as powerful as a SLR. the picture quality of the product is really good specially the night shots.

Night Shots are best

nothing

The Shutter button broke. I have replaced it and is now working but was a nuance for the time it was broken. It is a good product but there is a lot of room for improvement. I did take it on a two week trek in the high mountains in New Mexico.

I got this as a backup camera that was easy to carry with me all of the time. It can be used as a simple point and shoot camera or you can customize the settings. I wanted a camera that could shoot RAW image files but didn't want to pay $600 or $700 for a backup camera.

"G" series cameras have been top sellers for over a decade and the G16 is likely to continue that impressive record.

Excellent image quality; fast f1.8-f2.8 5x zoom; Top deck Exposure Compensation dial; Robust build quality

Slightly dim optical viewfinder; AF hunts for focus in very low light

Works very well for being such a small camera. Its surprising that it can work as well as it does. It does the job of being a point and shoot well. Its lens is sharp, lets in a lot of light and is quite responsive. Battery life is good but not great, especially if you turn the sensitivity up.

This camera has AMAZING control & features to choose from. The AUTO setting is very good & quite intelligent. But the MANUAL settings will take your breath away! Perfect for a beginner who wants to grow.
