We're off to Spain later this year, traveling by air, which means no 5D2 and lenses (BOO!) so this would be an opportunity to step up to a trick camera that's (not quite) pocketable.
So the sharp among you will be saying 'but the G16 and X100S are nothing like each other?!' well I know that, but one might challenge me a bit, the other is more likely to be something not only I can pick up and use, but also something Mrs Hell will be able to take pictures with and NOT instantly go 'where's the f*cking zoom on this?!'. They are clearly going to give different experiences and there are reasons to go for either.
So - to those who have experience with the X100S, especially if they run with a DSLR as well - what are your experiences?
Likewise, anyone with a G16 who uses it as a 'camera of convenience' - what are your experiences? I'm tempted to see if I can stretch to a G7X, having looked at the specs, BUT it's that RX100 form-factor, which I don't view as very intuitive, or pleasant to use (I've spent some time behind an RX100 and it just ring my bell, sorry Robin ). I quite like the Fuji X20, but as I've got access to one of those I'm thinking the G16 would bring something new/different to our family camera pool.
What would you do (ignore price issues - not relevant - not often you'll see me type that!!)?
