The high-end Canon PowerShot G16, which succeed the PowerShot G15 (launched in October 2012), respectively, is ideally suited to meet the diverse needs of advanced-amateur photographers, realizing not only fast AF performance and high image quality but also enhanced Wi-Fi functionality.
Achieving an AF time of 0.10 seconds*1 (at wide-angle end), the duo delivers the fastest*2 AF performance of any Canon compact digital camera, made possible through improvements in such areas as the AF algorithm and mechanical controls. In addition to the fast AF, the cameras realize a shooting time lag of 0.13 seconds,*1 a significant reduction compared with their predecessors. Furthermore, the G16 enables high-speed full-resolution continuous shooting with a maximum speed of approximately 12 frames per second,*3 with continuous shooting possible until the memory card becomes full.
Featuring the Canon-developed high-performance DIGIC 6 image processor, the PowerShot G16 is capable of reducing noise up to approximately 2.4 times faster than its predecessors, which was equipped with the DIGIC 5 image processor. Canon’s HS SYSTEM, which combines DIGIC 6 with a high-sensitivity image sensor, enables the capture of exceptionally sharp and clear images with minimal noise, even when shooting in low-light conditions.
Featuring built-in Wi-Fi—a first for Canon’s PowerShot G series—the G16 camera let users easily send high-image-quality images to a smartphone*4 or SNS (Social Networking Service) sites like Facebook and Flickr.
*1 Measured in accordance with CIPA measuring standards. Shooting mode: P mode, Light value: Lv13-14, AF: Single AF (centerpoint AF)
*2 Among Canon compact digital cameras. Measured in accordance with CIPA measuring standards. As of August 18, 2013, based on a Canon survey.
*3 Approximately 12.2 images per second for the first 5 images, and approximately 9.3 images per second for images 6 through 522. When using SD memory cards that meet Canon testing standards. Speeds may differ depending on shooting conditions.
*4 While compatible with both iOS and Android systems, performance cannot be guaranteed for all models.
