The editors didn't like
Fixed LCD screen
Incremental improvements on predecessor
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
Pricey. Fixed rear LCD. Bulky for a point-and-shoot. Optical viewfinder could be better
LCD doesn't tilt
LCD screen not articulated
Larger design makes it not very pocketable
Optical viewfinder not very accurate
RAW burst shooting still slow
WiFi is clunky to setup & no remote shooting capabilities

BSI sensor doesn't really improve IQ, Low light performance is just about average
The Canon PowerShot G16 is a camera we love. Why? Because it is built just like the G15, and spec'd almost like it. There are no compromises or deterioration in performance, although the improvements aren't that ground breaking. The BSI sensor doesn't rea...
