Shooting raw files applies some significant restrictions. Raw files can only be captured in the P, Av, Tv and M shooting modes and functions like the dynamic range and shadow correction are disabled when the raw modes are selected. The various colour sett...

If you already own a G15 that's working well, there are few reasons to upgrade to the G16 unless you really want the Wi-Fi connectivity and/or the new Star shooting modes. The small improvements in autofocusing speed are not enough to justify a swap.But i...

The G16 is a fish in a pond that's really occupied by just two fish. Together with the Nikon P7800 it's one of a pair of cameras that offer more manual control than the best "consumer" compacts (such as the Sony HX50 ) stopping just before crossing into s...

Perhaps you already own a Canon digital SLR but would prefer something a bit more portable that handles in a similar fashion? If you want to be able to change the lens in use, then your only option is the year-old EOS M. If however, you'd be happy with a...

Only really what the G16 lacks, namely a tilting rear panel LCD. The price will be on the high side for anyone who doesn't already own a DSLR that such an outlay could alternatively buy...

Aside from rock solid build quality and DSLR-like feature set, the actual pictures the G16 produces are also worth treasuring, with colours beautifully realistic and detail pin sharp. Up to 480 shots can be eked out of a full charge of its lithium ion bat...

Canon's PowerShot G16 is a small and sturdy compact camera that can capture clear and vibrant photos if given the chance. It's a little camera from a series that's been in business since the year 2000 and this is the 13th version (Canon skipped the G13 an...

Canon's PowerShot G16 is a solidly built compact that supplies good versatility thanks to its f/18 lens and fast overall performance. We suggest considering it if you want something with a fixed lens that can capture images in high detail...

There's much to be said for sticking with something that works, but do it for too long and the item in question starts to look old. Take the Canon PowerShot G-series, here in its latest G16 form, as an example. The product line's visual evolution has been...

Image quality is great, raw shooting option, physical control layout perfect, bright maximum aperture - even at full zoom, 1080p movies at 60fps...

Body could do with a refresh, fixed screen position, very small viewfinder, Wi-Fi features don't extend to wireless shooting...

The G16 may be starting to look a little dated, particularly when you compare it to something like Sony's sleek RX100, but that doesn't stop the Canon remaining a top-notch snapper all round. When something's right, it's just right - and the G16 lar...

The Canon PowerShot G16 has a similar specification and fulfils much of the same criteria as the Nikon Coolpix P7800, which I tested in AP 9 November. Canon’s G and Nikon’s P-series cameras have been in direct competition for many years, with both seeing...

The feature set on the Canon PowerShot G16 is limited in comparison to the technology offered by other manufacturers. For example, the Wi-Fi facility still doesnt feature wireless shooting and HDR offers no manual control. Also, many users will be disapp...

What is the Canon PowerShot G16? It's fair to say that Canon's G-series of PowerShot compacts has long-held a place atop the advanced compact market, forcing other manufacturers to often resort to imitation to try to keep pace. The latest model is the G16...

This 12.1 mega pixel camera has a stabilised 5x optical zoom (28-140mm 35mm equiv) with f1.8—2.8 aperture. It is unusual in having an optical viewfinder, albeit slightly obscured by the lens barrel. The 75mm LCD is non-swivelling and of good resolution. T...

The lack of manual and software is annoying. The slip of paper that passes for a quick start guide sends the user to the home page of the Canon corporate web site. After that you are on your own, burrowing through layers of interweb stuff looking for the...

Although Canon has made some strides with the G16 – closing the spec gap with CSCs and DSLRs on paper – we can't give it our strongest recommendation. At $550 it's just too expensive for the level of quality it delivers. We suggest anyone looking for an...
