I spent a couple of hours trying to work out how the pop-up flash worked. Then asked Canon and it appears that you need to take of the hot-shoe protector. With the plastic hot-shoe protector on, the camera thinks you are using an external flash and disables the on-board pop-up flash.
Pros:
- great quality compact
- Viewfinder
- Robust.
Cons:
- Pop-up flash

Canon PowerShot G15
With each iteration of Canon's powerful G-series compact camera range, it seems to present yet another reason to buy, but also to adopt a wait and see attitude in anticipation of the next one.

The enthusiast-level digital compact camera category is thriving so how does Canon react to everybody else muscling in on its territory? With an even more capable model, that's how.

Canon PowerShot G15 Camera Review
The Canon G15 follows the G12. The new model has a massive, robust, and heavy body and has major changes from its predecessor. The G15 is Canon's newest high-end compact system with a 12MP sensor (1/1.7"), a large LCD screen, and a lot of manually controlled image parameters.

Canon PowerShot G15 review
Now that compact system cameras (CSCs) are available for as little as ￡350, is anyone going to buy a conventional compact camera that costs over ￡500? Canon clearly thinks so, but then, the G15 doesn't bear much resemblance to most compact cameras.

Canon was right to keep the PowerShot G1 X in play when it shipped the G15, as despite their common heritage they're fairly dissimilar cameras.
Pros:
- Redesigned top plate
- Colour reproduction
- Professional features
- Movie performance
Cons:
- Expensive in its field
- Some wind noise on movies
- Fixed screen

Canon PowerShot G15 Review
Although the PowerShot G15 is a good camera, reluctantly we're getting off the small-chip G-series merry-go-round – especially at its list price of $499.
Pros:
- Bright f/1.8-f/2.8 5x zoom
- Quality stills and videos
- Excellent image stabilization system
Cons:
- Better alternatives available
- Pokes along in RAW
- Very noisy at high ISOs

Canon PowerShot G15
The Canon PowerShot G15 the newest addition to the G series of Canon, is an advanced point and shoot camera that is just full of surprises. It improves on many things when compared to the G12, at least on paper and we wonder if that actually translates into any real world performance.
Pros:
- Fast f/1.8-2.8 lens
- Fast and accurate AF system reminiscent of Canon DSLRs
- 1 cm minimum focussing distance for macro shots
Cons:
- Bulky design
- Small 1/1.7-inch sensor
- No bendable flash
