Great Camera

I have looked for a point and shoot digital camera with low light capability for years. This camera is the best for that I have found or used. It takes great action shots also, which is a plus. I will admit to having a few problems in some situations, but those will be fixed as I learn the camera better and what it can do and what I can do with it.
Not for a moment do I regret my choice in the Canon G16.

Excellent Carry Camera
on September 15, 2014

I purchased the PowerShot G16 as an alternative camera to my two DSLRs (EOS 6D and EOS 600D), for times when I didn't want to, or couldn't carry one of those. The G16 is an excellent camera, and fits my role as a carry around camera quite well. It is a bit larger than most point and shoot cameras, but has excellent image quality and enough advanced features to keep me happy.
If I were to complain about anything, it would be about the lack of a wrist strap. This camera ships with a neck strap, but I carry mine in a Case Logic belt pouch. I purchased the Canon WS20 wrist strap, and it works great.

Small Carry Camera Needed
on August 28, 2014

from Rio Rancho, NM
I have two Canon DSLR EOS bodies with a few L series lenses and love them but wanted to have a Canon that I can pretty much carry with me all of the time and still capture stills in RAW format. I also wanted something that I can record short video clips to upload to micro-stock sites and this is a little gem for video! I can't get over the quality of video and also with two slow motion modes along with 1080P. I don't really have any cons about this camera because I did my homework BEFORE I bought it and my wife is still happy with her PowerShot G10 that she has had for about 6yr and is still using it without fault.
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: would like to have an external mic input.

Very versatile camera
on November 9, 2014
Posted by: Scrapchk
This camera does just about everything my T3i can, has a few additional cool features, and is very compact. I bought it to take to concerts because recently concert venues don't allow cameras with removable lenses. This camera does not disappoint. One cool feature that the bigger SLR's don't have is the Wi-Fi connectivity where you can send pictures straight to your phone. As the camera on my phone is worthless at a concert, the Wi-Fi feature on the G16 was a cool way to post amazing pictures to social media.
A great addition to your camera bag.

Love this camera - miss a few features of G11 I re
on July 18, 2016
Posted by: wwipswich

I feel like when you want a small camera that you can actually take with you and still get beautiful photos this camera is the one! I had to replace my G11 when the lens got stuck out and all it would say is lens error. I very much miss my sunset option on that model and find the various other settings harder and less intuitive on this one. Biggest complaint for any designer reading this is removing the rotating LCD screen on back that allowed you to flip it and keep the glass covered therefore. That G11 lasted over 6 years. I have had this G16 and within 5 months it developed a small crack somehow on LCD which is spreading. Was never dropped and mostly in a small case or purse in separate pocket. Bring back the flip screen!

A Great Camera
on May 24, 2014

My last Canon camera was the A620. I used that camera almost everyday. It was a g=real workhorse. It is because of the A620 that I decided to buy the G16. One of the feature I like about the G16 is the menus system is the same as the A620. That enabled me to get used to the new camera in no time. Canon has added new features of course and I have found the camera to operate beyond my expectations. I am very satisfied with the G16 and look forwad to years of use..
The images are fantastic. Color, contrast and sharpness are excellent. I couldn't be happier. I made the right choice in purchasing the G16.

Fragile but can still take a mean picture
on March 23, 2017
Posted by: MerryMatt
from Seattle, WA, United States
The Shutter button broke. I have replaced it and is now working but was a nuance for the time it was broken. It is a good product but there is a lot of room for improvement. I did take it on a two week trek in the high mountains in New Mexico. I took some amazing pictures with it but was lacking in the area of video taking for some of the more memorable moments and was left to take pictures of moments that should of been video.
