Canon used to be king of the high end compacts but the G series seems like it has run out of steam. Id personally much rather have a Fuji X10.

Was there a problem with the G15 during your sample images session ?

Outdoor photography at ISO800 to obtain an 1/50s shutter speed ?! You forgot the ND Filter ? Or was it really dark when you got the camera ?

I just don’t understand…
-> Your desk :
G15 : 1/60s ISO800
XZ2 : 1/30s ISO320
-> The facad with 6 balconies :
G15 : 1/20 ISO800
XZ2 : 1/80 ISO200

You shot by night for the G15 and in bright sunlight for the XZ2 haha ?
It is difficult to compare cameras in such different conditions…

By the way, if you had to chose between Olympus XZ2 and Canon G15, wich one would you pick ?

Thanks in advance !

I had an Oly XZ1 for about a year and then sold it. The IQ was good and the lens sharp but I found the sensor noise not good at high ISOs, the video awful, the handling a bit awkward (esp the lens cap and lack of grip), no viewfinder etc. I have just purchased the G15 at a considerably reduced sale price here in Oz and couldn’t be more delighted. It handles well, has great low light performance, bright sharp lens, good video and handling is good. As a complete package, it’s basically everything I wish the XZ1 could have been.

This is one of the finest compact Cameras I have ever used, I carry it ALL the time. Image results are stunning this is an example of what it is capable of: http://www.flickr.com/photos/antmant/8485445372/in/photostream
