Canon G16 review The Canon PowerShot G16 is the latest in a long line of chunky compacts aimed at the demands of enthusiasts. Announced in August 2013 it's the replacement for the PowerShot G15. The G series has earned a reputation as a serious compac...
Good Bright f1.8-2.8 stabilised optical zoom, Fast and accurate AF, Fast sustained 9.3fps continuous shooting, Built-in Wifi and GPS via a smartphone, 1080p60 HD video mode, Focus peaking, Innovative Star shooting modes.
