Anyone have any feedback for me on the Canon G 16? I print 8x10; 11x14 & 16x20. Thanks.
I got my Canon G16 last month. The results are very good, confirming the very high ratings it received by reviewers. I had one image printed 11 x 14 and it looks great. I use the G16 as a "bridge" camera when using my Pentax K3 DSLR is not appropriate or available.

I've had a G15 for a couple of years and maybe 4000 shots. It's basically the same as a G16.
Great camera overall, and easily makes 11x14 with no problem. I haven't made any 16x20, but can't imagine any problems.
It's not quite a "pocket" camera except for something like cargo pants.
The only complaint I have with it is the exposure compensation dial. It's positioned so it's too easy to accidentally move (like while taking it out of your pocket or purse).

I shoot a housed G15 underwater and can print quite well at the sizes mentioned. The G16 adds Wifi but otherwise is same camera. Shoot Raw

Thank you all. Your info helps. Still thinking (or overthinking) SOny a6000 but The sized of the G16 is a plus with no lens sticking out)

The Sony a6000 is a very fine camera but it is a very different kind than the G16. Before I chose the G16, I compared it against others of the same general type and price range (Fuji X30, Nikon P7700, etc.), but not against a interchangeable, mirror-less, higher priced model. Either way, you have two excellent choices.

Here's a shot I took with the G16.
It was the very first shot once I loaded a charged battery. It was set to Auto, with no other settings, and taken indoors (no flash) with bad lighting. The all glass sun catcher was hanging a few inches from an open window. It's one of the shots I take when testing a camera, lens, or light setting.

Thank you. That's the best kind of help. Been price shopping. Has anyone dealt with DigitalPros.com? They are $100 less than Adorama * B&H where I usually buy.

Before I ordered from B&H, I saw the DigitalPro price and was tempted, but I suspected it is a "gray market" seller and stayed away. But it's good to get other opinions.
