[SML] Replacement Digital Camera

[Stephen Rees]

I've been using my Canon Powershot A1000is since about 2008 and have been
greatly satisfied with its features and the quality of images I gotten. At
this point I've probably shot nearly 10K images with no complaints except
for the quality of zoomed images. On a recent trip, thinking a drink cup in
the car cup holder was empty, I set the camera in what actually was about
an inch of iced tea. Days passed and the camera eventually dried out and
most features work - stills w/o flash, video, etc.  The images still store
and download with no problem.  HOWEVER - not having flash working is a real
detriment and I'm thinking of replacing this with another Canon product.
I've casually looked at the Canon Powershot G16 and it is in my price range
with the features I need/want. It seems to be an improved version of the
A1000 in most cases.  Does anyone use such and what are your reactions?  I
only need and really want a camera that I can slip in my pocket if
necessary. I don't want any more bulk than necessary.  For a larger more
feature-filled camera, I would be looking at an EOS family BUT I'M NOT.
Any ideas? Am I cutting off better options by only looking at Canon
products? TIA for any advice.
Regards,
Steve Rees
