This
point and shoot was really the most surprising camera of 2013 for me.
The sensor is very good and is a 1.5" sensor. I must ask myself though
why Canon didn't put an useable EVF or larger OVF in it. That would have
made it perfect for me. As it is it's my go evrywhere camera where I'm
not sure what to expect and I just want to blend in with the croud. Just
looks like a G15/16, so it's somebody with a P&S and not worth a
second look. My eyes not being what they once were, I have to wear my
glasses to really compose which is a PITA really. It's also a reason why
I normally don't use these cameras in this way.
Being quite small it fits in my shoulder bag or rucksack without any problems and battery life is pretty good. It's a sort of camera that you use if you want to take a single shot of something and definately not for anything that's moving. The above images show what's possible and I'll be using this camera on long walks in good light. I don't think Canon will be bringing out a second version of this camera, which is a real shame really, as a couple of improvement would make this camera a hot seller. I wish I could be a fly on a wall when these cameras are being designed, just to hear what actually goes on behind the scenes; like why did they bring this to market and what the idea was behind it.
