Review on Canon PowerShot G16: 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom, 1080p Full-HD Video, and Wi-Fi Connectivity by Chris Quinto

I recently took the G16 on a 2 week tour of Europe and it worked great even after dropping it twice!* (*not recommended) I am professional journalist to Canon's professional DSLRs, and this compact does the job well. Fast lens, fast shutter, full control and excellent shutter/aperture priority modes which I have used extensively. Explosive mode is crazy and comparable to big guns. Just unbelievable. High ISO's are good, grain could be better but looking at the pictures in the post they don't seem too bad. And it doesn't look like they were filmed on a compact camera. This model just keeps getting better and if you are a professional photographer looking to shed a few extra pounds I would highly recommend this quiet and versatile camera. But after a long day or two of photographing/using the LCD monitor, you should charge the battery at night. Battery life isn't the same as its DSLR brethren.
