<p>Compact cameras are going through change of late. Size is on the down, sensor sizes on the up and cameras such as Canon's G-series have had to adapt in the fierce market. The Canon PowerShot G16, which is up there among Canon's top-of-the-line models, has stuck fast to its G15 predecessor's design, however. We got to test out the latest G-series at the IFA electronics show in Berlin to see whether it's embraced change quite enough.</p><p>The PowerShot G16 is smaller than some of the earlier models in the series, but still a fairly hefty wedge in the hand. It's styled for those that won't mind this, and part of the reason for its size is the inclusion of more features than many compacts can muster: an 85 per cent field-of-view optical viewfinder, for example, sits pride of place on the top rear. There's no tilt-angle screen though, just a flat 3-incher on the rear.</p><p>READ: Canon PowerShot G15 review</p><p>What the G16 is all about is image quality. Its 12,1-megapixel 1/1.7in size sensor may not be as large as some competitors, such as the Fujifilm X20, but we were more than impressed where the earlier G15 model was concerned. The G16 ought to be better thanks to an updated sensor and Digic 6 image processor. We say "ought to" because - and in the few minutes we've had to experiment - we've not been able to take shots away to take a closer look at. More details about that when we get one in for review, but knowing how good that 28-140mm lens is (it's the very same as the G15) it'll be happy days.</p><p><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/123486-canon-powershot-g16-hands-on-has-the-high-end-compact-embraced-change-enough">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.product-reviews.net/2013/09/08/canon-powershot-g16-preview/">Canon PowerShot G16 preview</a> (Product Reviews)</p><p><a href="http://www.digitalversus.com/this-week-s-reviews-last-week-s-top-fives-htc-one-mini-canon-g16-n30992.html">This Week's Reviews & Last Week's Top Fives: HTC One Mini, Canon G16</a> (DigitalVersus)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dQNLPCr_gG3wrxMqqsOijtqNl6plM&ned=us">4 additional articles.</a></p>
