  • 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 ...

  • Image quality, JPEG and RAW capture, build, extensive feature set, multi-angle LCD, great control layout and handling
  • High ISO noise problems, sluggish focusing, size, price
  • Big, heavy and feature rich, the G12 nevertheless packs a real photographic punch, it's a true enthusiasts digital “compact”. And, while the G12's new kit makes it a key camera if you're in the market for a well specified bridge-style snapper, we worry...

  • The Canon Powershot G12 is hard to beat if you are looking for a high end, compact digital camera. Images are pin sharp in most cases and the options for fine tuning your photos are impressive. The attention to detail in the build is outstanding too. ...

  • If you're in the market for a new camera and don't want the bulk of a proper DSLR – or even a smaller mirrorless camera such as the Sony NEX-3 – the G12 fits the bill extremely well. The manual modes and dials on offer, while daunting to beginners, wil...

  • While the PowerShot G12 builds on the successful formula set out by the G11, it doesn’t really add anything new. It is perhaps best to think of it as a G11 Mark II, but this is no bad thing – the G11 is an excellent camera, winning AP’s 2010 Enthusiast...

  • Despite all this the G12 remains the premier compact camera. The amount of functionality found inside can’t be matched (not even by some entry-level dSLRs) and it offers superior shooting capabilities, such as an excellent macro, for the more discerni...

  • Good image quality even in dark conditions, complete manual control, supports RAW image format, large swivel LCD screen, easy to use with dedicated dials, good Macro, 720p HD video with stereo sound capture, rugged build, HDR bracketing
  • Tiny field of view in optical viewfinder, no optical zoom during video capture, 4GB limit for video capture, no dedicated video capture button, a bit heavy, expensive
  • Canon PowerShot G12 is a worthy successor to the G11. The user is given full manual control over every feature of the camera. As always, ease of use and ergonomics have been given proper attention. Some nifty features such as the level gauge are very u...

  • Abstract:  At an MRP of Rs. 31,995, the G12 is costly. Entry level dSLR cameras are cheaper, and will give you better results. The G12 is as good as, or better than, most compact cameras, but it is also pricey enough to warrant second thought. At this price poin...
