I Love My G12!
on October 10, 2012
Posted by: Stew
from Miami, Florida
It does everything I want it to do and MORE. I use it in many different settings, photographing many different people, places, and things. The only draw back is that it takes a little time from when I press down on the shutter and when the camera does its thing. I HIGHLY recommend this camera for some one that wants very high quality pictures and doesn't want to lug around a bulky DSLR.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD
Cons: takes to long for the shutter to release.
I would recommend this to a friend!

WOW......the camera of my dreams

Love this camera. Not only is it easy to use but the quality of the photo I can take is wonderful. Out of the box, with a quick charge, this camera went to DC. My picture from that trip were the best I've ever taken. My fear was the flip out view finder, it's a little smaller then the 3in I'd had on my point and shoot, well it's better. I really love the ability to get tight close ups photos and great distances without extra gear.
Don't think you can go wrong with camera,

Best Camera for the Money

This camera is perfect for most lighted areas except in the snow. The LCD screen isn't capable of producing a clear image in the really bright atmosphere of snow.
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, excellent image quality, durable, Lightweight/Portable
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used all of the G series. The latest G12 is awesome. Fits in my pocket. Is light weight and so easy to get the greatest shots. I have been to Spain and the U.K. this year.. While those with the big SLR.s are focusing and lining up their shot, I have already taken 5 perfect shots.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use

The Best Canon "G" Yet
on February 6, 2012
Posted by: Tarmack
Owned the G6, G9, and now the G12 - it is the best G series camera yet. I really liked the G9 and its all metal body and smaller size, but the low light capabilites of the G12 make it well worth the extra size. Even indoors less than 10% of my photos require a flash - this means I can take indoor photos from across the room - amazing. The rich contrast, sharp focus, easy to use features and low light capabilities mean you can take the best photos ever with a camera of this size. It is just small enough that I can carry it in a belt pouch - a camera is no good if it interferes with you experiencing an event or too big to bring along. Perfect.
Pros: excellent in low light, easy to use, small enough to carry, wide angle lens
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Great Little Camera
on December 20, 2010
Posted by: michgirl
from Michigan
I own a Canon DSLR, but wanted a compact camera for when the DSLR is too much, and for my husband, who is too afraid to use my camera. As a previous owner of a G-Series camera, I knew the quality images this camera produces. And the G12 exceeds my expectations. Works great in auto, as well as using the manual modes. Looking forward to some great photos from this camera.
Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

purchased the Canon PowerShot G12 in June 16,2012 and used the camera during a 4 day cruise. The shots I took from the camer came out Superb! as in High Def Colored Pictures. I took about 500-550 shots and 3-4 movies (~ 2 minutes each) and still have 1600 plus availble shots using 8G SDHC...The Powershot G12 is my second canon powershot. The first powershot I boughtwas a Powershot A80 back 2003. I still have the A80 and works perfect. I needed a larger screen and that is why I upgraded to a G12. I am very happy with my G12 & A80 powershots.. :-)
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great daily carry around
on January 22, 2011
Posted by: Lesmore
I bought a new Canon G12 a couple of weeks ago.
I've been a camera/photography enthusiast for over 40 years and have/use medium format-film, rangefinder-film , SLR/DSLR's.
I've been a camera/photography enthusiast for over 40 years and have/use medium format-film, rangefinder-film , SLR/DSLR's.
I currently use mostly my DSLR bodies and gave about 6 lenses, ranging from fisheye, super wide angle to telephoto.
But the DSLR system (not Canon) although capable of excellent pictures, is heavy and can be cumbersome to carry around on a daily basis.
I wanted a very good compact, with easily accessible manual settings and controls...don't like fully automatic cameras. My main role for the G12 is as a daily carry around camera.
I checked out the ratings and the Canon G12 seemed to be at the top of the list and I had admired the G series from afar, for a number of years.
I bought one (my first Canon, BTW) and so far I'm very pleased with it. I like the indoor, available light (no flash) capability and the fact that it's like a little DSLR..control wise.
However, it reminds me of my film Rangefinder in appearance.
I'm looking forward to many years of regular use with this small camera.
Pros: small size, manual controls, quality pictures for a small camera, rangefinder like appearance, reputation for quality, a small camera for the dslr enthusiast, like the hot shoe and provision for add on flash
Cons: no full owner's manual in print., no provision to add screw on filter
I would recommend this to a friend!
