Hi everyone, anyone using the Canon G15 compact, got my eye on it as a back up for my eos-7d. What are the pro's and con's. Reading about it on th evarious sites give's it pretty good reviews. Any feedback would be welcome. Cheers

Well, I would think from the lack of a response that no one on here has/has shot with that camera. Sorry we couldn't be of more help but Im sure if someone has knowledge of it, they would have posted the info for you.

Hi Doug,

I don't have the G15, but do own the G13. I believe both of these cameras are close to the same size. From the standpoint of features, these cameras rock. I use mine for backup for days that I don't want my D800 with me. The only thing I don't care for is the size. LOL it's a brick for being a compact. If you can over look the size, it's an awesome camera.

Hope this helps!

These days actually exist Alex hahaha. If I had the D800, it would probably have its own pillow for when I go to sleep at night lol.

I don't have a G15, but I really like my G12. It's especially great when you put a speedlight on it...although that kind of defeats the purpose of it being compact...

But I used it at a family Christmas gathering, it was the first time I put my 550EX on it. I was already really impressed with the camera before that, and adding the ability to use bounce flash it's even better.
