Canon's Powershot G16 is loaded with consumer and pro features, a fast zoom lens with a good range and fast f-stop, and lots of automation as well as programmability.
I'll tell you what's hard to beat...YOUR REVIEW! Awesome review with everything I needed to know.
It's really sad that camera makers don't add the new features with firmware updates like with cellphones. most of those scenes and smile detects could have been added to my g15 easily.
i bet you any money that the G-17 is going to be your next pick! Woh!
I love this camera best i ever had thank you
Nice Review: Canon PowerShot G16 !
Thank you !
best regards from cologne,

I have the G16. I wish it had a pause button when recording videos.
the only problem is that you can get better cameras for that price, like a few mirrorless cameras and even DSLRs, but then again that lens is pretty impressive.
Amazing review!
Thanks!
Does anybody know if there is a lens for Canon G16 that is good for filming a video of people/couples?
Great review thankyou
is still worth it now? I have the g15 that I love but is dying, and I don't know what to do
There are more updated modals Canon has made. Reach out to one of our photo experts and they will be able to tell you what are the differences between the G16 and newer models. Email sales@photo.com or call 866.265.7120
Nice vídeo. I wonder if I could use the 430EXII flash with this câmera.
cristovao freire Yes, the Canon 430EX II flash is fully compatible with the Canon Powershot G16 camera. - Yossi
Is it really worth to buy ? Im a newbie .
This is a "best in class" point and shoot camera that offers tremendous build and image quality in a compact, easy to use, form factor. Consider the ability to shoot RAW files, manual, auto, and custom modes and the enhanced Wi-Fi capabilities and overall this camera represents a very good value for a pocketable camera.

I'm having hard time choosing between Canon G16 and Panasonic LX7. Mostly I'll use it for macro shots of small animals, plants, fungi etc. and for landscapes. Can you please help me decide?
It would be hard to go wrong with either the G16 or the LX7. Though between the two, I would likely lean towards the G16. I find that the G16 has the edge in terms of image quality and low light performance. The additional range of its lens can also be quite useful. *Christina* AskUA-cam@bhphoto.com
So if I need to update my camera and what I mostly do is video would this be a good investment?
+Preetty BoyInk If you are looking for a small form-factor, top-flight point and shoot camera that shoots excellent video as well as marvelous still images than the Canon PowerShot G16 is a fine choice.

THANK YOU SIR

Thanks!

How is the noise while shooting indoors with no flash? Sure it uses a big aperture but I guess you will be up on iso1600 or higher while indoors. Will it produce a useable image?
It holds up very well in low light situations. It has a top ISO of 12,800, and these days the sensors being used in the cameras are doing well at higher ISO's indoors/low light without use of flash. - Yossi
Sounds good! So shooting something like wrestling should be ok then? Don't feel like carrying all my gear when I'm competing (and shooting)
Glaskruka It likely would hold up well enough for a wrestling match (it ultimately depends on the lighting). Keep in mind indoors is its own "low lighting" type of topic, then when you mix in sports with indoors it adds the requirement of more speed in the shutter (i.e. demanding more light) to get shutter speeds capable of freezing the moving subjects. It may be a situation where flash is a good thing to keep handy. - Yossi
Is the canon G1X a good camera??
Yes, the Canon PowerShot G16 Digital Camera is a good camera. It is currently Canon's point-and-shoot camera that has the largest sensor for capturing high quality image detail, and would be highly recommended as an advanced point-and-shoot camera.
Not G16, I'm asking about the G1X!
B and H
which one would you recommend between the G16 and the Nikon P7800 ?
Landry Sibomana
Both are great cameras, and it would be hard to go wrong with either. That being said, I would likely lean towards the G16, due to the larger max aperture and the fact it is a bit faster. *Christina* askbh@bandh.com
How does the image quality of the g-16 compare to the canon S-120?
iyn1911 The image quality will be virtually the same between these two models. They both feature the same 1/1.7" CMOS sensor and both feature a Digic 6 image processor, and the lenses are for all intents and purposes about the same. - Yossi
How is the view finder of G16 compared to G15? is it accurate now?
It doesn't appear that Canon changed the viewfinder from the G15 to the G16, so it should function in the same way. *Christina* askbh@bandh.com
Hello! I hope you read this. I have a speedlight Yn568 ii high end flash. When it's on my G16 the ttl and hss don't work. What settings should I use? I try to use the flash off camera as mutch as possible but sometimes oncamera is necessary.

Can you please slae to me this camera
hi, b and h. Which do u think is a better camera for me, the s120 or the g16. I shoot a lot of sunsets, action shots, and video. Thanks!
+Augie Scott The two cameras are actually very much the same. They share the same sensor, processor and ISO range. The main difference between the two is the form factor with the S120 being a more compact model. It offers a slightly wider focal with an equivalent field of view to 24mm as its widest focal, vs 28mm in the G16. The G16 has a slightly stronger telephoto focal of 140mm vs. 120mm in the S120. Both shoot at roughly the same frame rate and both record video in 1080p HD resolution.Between the two I would recommend the G16 as it has a faster top shutterspeed which will be useful for your action shots. Both would handle situations like sunsets and scenery and videos at the same quality level. - Yossi Yossi O
thanks so much!
+B and H I think the g16 also has a faster aperture if I'm not mistaken it's 1.8-2.8 vs the s120. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
How do you turn the wink self timer on?
Page 60 of the camera's instruction manual details how to set the mode up. See the following link for a digital PDF copy of the original instruction manual for your reference: cdn2.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/90471.pdf - Yossi
would you recommend to buy 58 mm lens adapter for it? (CANON LA-DC58L)
No problem with this adapter and lens:

Hi, I need one information, for shotting movies I have to select Movies Mode on Mode Dial, press movie button or I can select, for example, P or M or Tv Mode and press Movie Button?
Marco Martinotti No, unfortunately those modes are not enabled when recording in Movie Mode. - Yossi
I do not understand, I can shot movies only from Movies Mode?
Thank you.
Marco Martinotti Yes. Video is shot only from the camera's "MOVIE" mode setting.

Can you tell me if the G16 can use a PocketWizard to trigger strobes?
+TheLightworkz You could use a PocketWizard on the Canon G16 to trigger strobes, yes. *Christina* AskPhoto@bhphoto.com
Christina do you have documentation of where this actually works? I have tried using the PocketWizard Plus III with the latest firmware and also a PocketWizard Plus X and it does not trigger the strobes.
These same triggers work as intended on my Canon 5DMarkII and MarkIII. They also use to work on my old G12 before it bit the dust so I didn't hesitate to pick up the G16 after being assure by B and H presales folks it function as a G12. Of course now that I'm out of the 30day return window I can't seem to get a good answer. Canon only response "can't guarantee third party accessories will work with our product".
So now I don't know if it actually doesn't work or if I have a bad copy of the G16 and can't return because I'm outside the return/replacement window since it was purchased early January.
+TheLightworkz I’ve talked to PocketWizard about this, and they do have customers using the G16 with the Plus IIIs and Xs, so they would be compatible. That being said, PocketWizard did mention that you might need to reset the custom functions in the G16. I would suggest trying that. If they still will not work, I would suggest sending us an email and we would be able to trouble shoot this further with you. *Christina* AskPhoto@bhphoto.com
Panasonic LX7 still beats it at every aspect,and it's cheaper and smaller.
YES!! :)
Remko v.d. Wielen Pls take a look at the link and you won't talk about it at least in higher ISOs:

Fair enough,neither of these camera's are low light kings.
If you're looking for that I recommend either the Sony RX-100 or the new Panasonic LX-100
Remko v.d. Wielen neither of these camera's are low light kings, but G16 absolutely beats LX7 at higher ISOs and some other minor capabilities
Yeah sure,If you put it like that,a D4 or a 1dx are low light kings..
We were talking about compacts weren't we?Have fun with your G16,and I'll continue to have fun with my LX7,ok?
