Canon PowerShot G16 Review – Verdict

The PowerShot G16 further reinforces the position of Canon’s G-series as the standard by which all other advanced compacts must be judged. It is fast, light, easy to use, exceptionally well made, packed with features and offers excellent image quality and performance.

If you’re looking for an advanced compact for hobby photography, or as a lighter camera to use alongside your DSLR then it remains one of the best choices on the market. In fact the only reason not to buy one is if you already own a G15, because apart from the addition of Wi-Fi smartphone connectivity and a slightly faster processor it is a very similar camera.
