Canon PowerShot G16

The PowerShot G16 is the final iteration of the classic G-series compacts with an optical viewfinder. It features a 12.1-megapixel sensor, a fast f/1.8-2.8 lens, and the DIGIC 6 processor, which enables high-speed continuous shooting and improved autofocus speeds. Wi-Fi connectivity was also introduced in this model, making it a versatile choice for enthusiasts wanting a tactile, traditional shooting experience. Check the G16 for smooth operation of the front control ring and the rear scroll wheel, as these can become intermittent with heavy use. The lens assembly should be checked for excessive movement or 'play'. SDS technicians ensure the Wi-Fi module connects correctly and that the sensor is free from defects. As with all fixed-lens compacts, inspect the glass for scratches, particularly if the camera has been carried without a case.
