Optical viewfinder; articulated LCD; built-in neutral-density filter; very good photo quality for its class
Shot-to-shot performance still a little sluggish, some annoying controls
Relatively unchanged from its predecessor, save the addition of 720p video, the Canon PowerShot G12 remains a very good, more-or-less compact model, designed to please photo enthusiasts.
In short, the Canon G12 is a great camera. For DSLR users looking for a compact camera to carry when they want to go light, the G12 is a great option – especially for Canon users who already have a Canon Speedlite.While the Canon G12 is still a point ...
Superior image and video quality, Optical viewfinder, Easy to use, Superb blend of automated and manual controls, Adjustable, swiveling LCD screen, Funtouse creative scene modes,
Maximum aperture of F2.8, A bit bulky,

The PowerShot G12 sports scene modes and custom colour modes, and it also includes an HDR mode. It's a very good camera overall, but its picture quality is not up to the standard of an interchangeable lens camera, nor a digital SLR (such as the great ...
Excellent image quality, well made, superb lens, excellent feature set, good ergonomics and handling, JPEG and RAW capture, multi-angle LCD,
Price, high ISO noise problems, sluggish focusing, size,
While not without flaws and it's not cheap, the G12’s creativity and versatility are key and make the G12 – and the G-series cameras as a whole – ideal as pro's back up or an enthusiast’s photographic powerhouse. Login or register to post comments Di...

Awkward size: heavy and bulky, Controls are stiff and rough, Small Shutter button and Zoom ring, Mediocre cycle times, Poor optical viewfinder coverage, High barrel distortion at wide-angle, Moderately high chromatic aberration at wide-angle (when wide...
The PowerShot G12 manages to improve on the G11 without taking any backward steps. It represents more a refinement than a revision, but that only reflects what a solid camera the G11 was. Despite that, the G12 is getting squeezed on one side by its own...
The legend continues, as Canon creates yet another powerful G-series prosumer model. The G12 builds off of the success of past models, specifically the G11, with a plethora of exposure control options as well as some very appealing specifications. Thes...
5x zoom with 28mm wide and 1cm macro, Flash hotshoe, RAW files and full manual controls, Great quality 2.8in / 460k articulated screen, Superb controls, build and ergonomics.
Slow continuous shooting at full resolution, Can't optically zoom while filming, Lumix LX5 and PowerShot S95 compelling alternatives, No longer smaller than a camera with a DSLR sensor.
Canon's PowerShot G12 may only represent a modest update over its predecessor, but by addressing some of the criticisms of that model while adding a few small but neat new features, it's become a preferable camera overall. So the first headline is Can...
