- Small viewfinder no proximity sensor, Poor continuous shooting performance, Braketing limited to 3 frames, Lacks articulated screen of predecessor, No Wifi or GPS built-in.
- The PowerShot G15 is a worthy successor to the G12, the question is, does it still have something to offer in a market teeming with options for enthusiast photographers looking for a compact DSLR back up? Canon has made some good calls with the G15, s...

- Exposure compensation dial does not work in video mode (but you can set exposure compensation using the AEL button when the mode dial is set to movie), No swivel screen (vs predecessor and some competitors), No automated panorama mode (only stitch-assist), HDR mode only works well with the camera on a tripod, Auto ISO only uses up to ISO 1600, Matt surface a little prone to scratches,
