The Canon PowerShot G16 is a very good camera. It ticks most of the boxes we associate with a top-shelf point-and-shoot in 2013: fantastic build quality, intuitive controls, speedy operation, a bright lens, reliably excellent still image quality, and grea...
Good photos and videos, Enhanced response (fps, focusing), Fast performance, Improved Wi-Fi implementation
Noisy at high ISOs, Expensive for the image quality you get
Although Canon has made some strides with the G16 – closing the spec gap with CSCs and DSLRs on paper – we can't give it our strongest recommendation. At $550 it's just too expensive for the level of quality it delivers. We suggest anyone looking for an...
Impeccable build quality, Startup has got much quicker, Fast autofocus that locks on and keeps track of subjects well, Good screen, Handling: easy to get the hang of using, Picture quality up to 1600 ISO, Video image quality, good 60 fps mode, 10 fps burs
Still no sign of a swivel/tilt screen, Could use more directaccess buttons, Viewfinder is practically unusable, Lens is a little soft, Hissing in video mode, It could be a little more adventurous

Full manual control, Raw format shooting, Built-in Wi-Fi
No touchscreen, Limited flexibility with digital filters, Can't use Wi-Fi for remote shooting
If you're looking for a good workhouse camera to carry around with you, then the Canon G16 a good bet. Take a look at the Canon S120 though if you need something a touch more pocket friendly – it features the same sensor...

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
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...
