G16 is a snappy camera
Customer Rating
4.0
I bought this Canon PS G16 as a gift for my Mom, she had been complaining about how slow-responding her old Kodak camera is (from AF'ing to actually getting the picture captured). I tested the G16 out and was impressed (compared to her Kodak it is night and day difference). Depending on conditions/settings, the speed at which you can snap pictures is quite good - and when you have grandchildren you are trying to take pics of, speed matters! Seems to work well in average indoor lighting and in lower lighting conditions - pictures come out clear and not grainy or fuzzy. I like all the features that elevate this above an average P&S camera - manual settings for aperture, shutter speed; full HD movie, etc. The dials and controls are comfortable to use. LCD screen is nice and big. There's a viewfinder which is handy for those moments when blinding glare from the sun prevents you from seeing the screen. Cons for me would be the specific battery pack (I always liked just being able to use AA's), no USB cable included to xfer pics to computer if you don't want to set up wi-fi (or don't have a card reader already), and having to print out the manual from website (it is a big manual, but needed if you want to take full advantage of all the features - basic manual is included with camera but is cursory and geared more towards getting wi-fi set up). Zoom is what it is... 5X isn't what I would like personally, but for Mom's purposes of shooting mostly just people it'll be just fine. Price was about what I would expect for one of those "better than average P&S but not quite a DSLR" cameras. Overall I'd recommend if you're looking for something better than average for a P&S.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought a USB multi-card reader for a few dollars. Works fine for my purposes (I also have a Mac) - just pop the card out of the camera and stick it in the reader. I didn't want to use the wi-fi, either.
