Great except for price
Build Quality 5/5 User Friendly 5/5 Price 3/5 Features 4/5 Picture Quality (for category) 5/5 PROS -Build quality is excellent, it feels extremely durable in your hand while holding it. I would not be afraid to throw it in my backpack on the go. -The camera fits really nicely in your hand without any problem. It is a LOT smaller than the G1x and a lot easier to store for almost the same picture quality. -Picture quality is significantly improved from the G15. The difference in low-light pictures is really noticeable due to the f/1.8-2.8 aperture. -WiFi feature is a really nice addition. You can put pictures on your iPhone fairly easily. -tons of creative modes allow for tons of different and unique shots without having to use manual mode. -The software is a lot faster. You can move around the options really fast without much lag at all. -Much better user experience than either the Nikon P7800 or P7700 CONS -Decent noise at high ISOs, but not uncommon to others in the category -Price is not very good when considering the S120 has many of the same features for less and the G1x has a lot more features for barely any more. Just awkward pricing situation. -some of the settings are hard to differentiate from each other. -Can be difficult setting up Wifi originally. This camera is so close to the G1x, I would advise spending the extra $100 and getting the four-thirds sensor the G1x comes with over this. This camera is also really close to the S120 but comes in the familiar G body style most people are accustomed to. So if you need something to fit in your pocket for travel, I would get the S120. This camera has almost the same features of both so its in a really weird product position. I would just get the S120 over this unless you need the hotshoe and the viewfinder that come with this instead of the touchscreen on the S120.
