Wi-Fi didn't always work properly for us, Screen isn't hinged, No EVF
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...
Full manual control, Raw format shooting, Builtin WiFi
No touchscreen, Limited flexibility with digital filters, Can't use WiFi for remote shooting
