Canon PowerShot G16 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 1080p Full-HD Video Wi-Fi Enabled
- The Canon PowerShot G16 is an incredible compact camera. I\'ve never personally owned a DSLR but I have worked with the earlier canon Rebel series before (namely the T2i) and although it doesn\'t come close to the handling and feel of a real DSLR, it still feels great in the hand and the quality of images produced by this compact camera are still great!I decided to purchase this camera in order to use it on a 6 week trip around Scotland and England. Because of the nature of my trip which partially consisted of backpacking around the countryside and moving from city to city, I was a bit concerned about carrying a DSLR and lenses around so I wanted a compact camera but didn\'t want to sacrifice on quality, so I considered the Canon PowerShot G16. I spent less as opposed to purchasing a DSLR and I am also literally able to pocket the camera while still getting really clear and true images of my travels.I took over 3500 photos and videos and I am really happy with all of them. The photos in low lighting turned out great, any photo taken with ISO levels up to 3200 came out clear with little noise, but anything above that started getting pretty noisy. Luckily the camera is preset to not go above 3200 ISO but that can be changed if so desired. I personally like my photos a little darker for contrast and I was able to take great photos everywhere I went in nearly all lighting conditions. I was also able to take pictures of the stars by taking advantage of manual settings as well as taking some artsy shots using long exposure playing with lights. Manual focus also came in handy when the camera couldn\'t quite focus on what I wanted it to. The range of the lens is great. I can take nice wide angle photos of landscape and cities and the 5x zoom helps to focus in on architecture, wildlife or other interesting things.The camera is very quick, it turns on and off quickly and the manual controls (after getting used to it) allow me to quickly adjust exposure, aperture, shutter speed and ISO when the program features just aren\'t enough to get the right shot. There are handy screen features such as a leveler and grid in order to really help align images as well as a quick zoom to make sure the image is in focus. The build is really sturdy and has a good weight to it making it feel really stable as well as comfortable in my right hand.Battery life is also very good. I can take pictures all day for a couple of days before it dies. I bought a spare battery which guaranteed that it would never die on me when I really wanted to snap a photo.The video quality is really great for a compact, being able to take full 1080pHD videos in 60fps (I personally prefer 30fps which can be set instead of 60) as well as having an optical stabilizer making the video very smooth with hardly any shaking.I hardly ever used the optical viewfinder only because it was just a tunnel viewfinder but when the sunlight was too bright to see the LCD screen (which was rare), it did come in handy and the images are true to what is seen in the viewfinder.I really love this camera and will probably be very happy using the Canon PowerShot G16 for a very long time. I am not a professional photographer, but this camera goes above and beyond my needs and expectations. I could see any enthusiast enjoying this camera, the images in low lighting aren\'t flawless by any means but they are still pretty amazingly clear for a compact. It is great to have such quality images in a small, easy to handle pocketable camera.
- I bought this after using a Canon s90 for several years. It was a choice between this camera and the s120. For the same price, you lose the convenience of the s120\'s small size and touchscreen, but get an optical viewfinder, a hot shoe, and a faster lens at the longest setting. The G16 is larger, but still fits into a shirt pocket - whether you\'d want to carry it around all day in a shirt pocket is another story. Carrying it this way is improved by adding a glass LCD protector - since it\'s not a touchscreen, there\'s no reason to install a plastic one - and covering the hotshoe with the Richard Franiec protector from Lensmate. My 20 year old \"Achiever\" flash isn\'t sensitive enough to be fired by the current on this camera. One advantage the s120 has is that it looks like a $89 point and shoot from Wal-Mart; in other words, it may be less intimidating for street photography since it doesn\'t look like the serious camera it is. The G16 doesn\'t look like a professional camera, but it doesn\'t look like a point and shoot either.For a point and shoot, it\'s pricey, but the attraction of the s and G Canons is their manual controls - you don\'t have to root through a menu or use a button and dial combination as on many DSLRs. The current price everywhere, even at a brick-and-mortar retailer like Best Buy, is $449, on par with my first SLR, a Pentax ME Super from 1982 that cost the equivalent of about $500 in 2014 dollars. That camera came with a 50 mm prime lens; a modern DSLR \"kit\" will usually come with a zoom, but it won\'t be anywhere near as fast as the zoom on G16. A DSLR lens that duplicates the performance of the one that comes with the G16 will cost around twice as much as the entire camera. A removable ring around the lens allows for the attachment of filters, however, carrying the cylinder around that allows this may not be convenient. As usual, Lensmate offers a bayonet mount that lets filters attach directly to the front of the lens, like on any other camera.The wireless feature was easy enough to set up, if tedious, but so far I have been unable to actually transfer images wirelessly. It\'s faster to just connect the camera directly to a computer. The idea is that if you\'re out somewhere with only your phone, you can post something immediately to a social networking site.My workplace is right in the middle of a major tourist area, and all summer, the streets are full of people carrying around DSLRs with lenses like howitzers, using them to take photos that would be just as good if they\'d used the camera on their cell phone. You need a DSLR if you\'re taking \"extreme\" photos - wide angle, telephoto, ultra-fast, or for any kind of professional application. If you just want some creative control over your photos, the G16 allows you to get what you need faster than any DSLR of even twice the price, and in a smaller package.
