Work Horse!

I bought my Canon G12 in late 2012. Since then it has been suction-cupped against the window, on AC power, taking pictures of the river rolling by just out back past the back yard, and the critters and waterfowl that use the river as a highway. I used CHDK to program the camera to take a picture every 30 minutes. That amounts to over 17000 pictures a year for 9 years. I already have the G7X2 that will be replacing it at the start of 2022.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Camera I've Owned
on November 28, 2017

This is the camera I WISH I had bought to replace the G12 I wore out. The clarity of the photos and the ease of shooting was outstanding. The view finder made this so much easier to use outside. The zoom might not have been as powerful as the Powershot SX60 HS I bought to replace it but the G12 got wonderful detail and could do distant landscapes well. Butterflies--brilliant color--and bumble bees--you could see individual hairs on their bodies. Super simple to operate as a point and shoot but SLR quality. The rotating LED captured amazing details. It is not bulky. It took five years, but I wore the camera out taking 1000s of pictures. I can't think of anything I didn't like about this product.
If I wouldn't lose my copyright to the company, I would share my pix but I use them for greeting cards.

LOVE my G12!!

from Seattle WA
I had a G7 and watched as the improved models came along. When they hit G12, I bought one and am totally pleased. I easily carry it whenever I anticipate taking snaps, as when skiing. Color/brightness when in auto modes is flawless. I was at a wedding on Labor Day 2017. The pro photographers had all Canon equipment. I chatted with one about my G12 and he acknowledged that if you travel and carry one camera, carry the G12!! He had the serious big stuff dangling around his neck and said my G12 will get snaps just as good. Get one and you'll never regret it!!!
I still own Canon FTQL/FTB SLRs and several zoom lenses using Kodachrome 25, dating back to the late '60s-'70s. Canon is the best. Forsake all others.

functions well even with water droplets

We went to Niagara Falls Canada and took pictures very close to the Falls. The impact of the falls on the ground created a very thick amount of droplet mist. The camera got dampen from it but was still able to perform as it did.

Superior Canon PowerShot

I owned this G12 for 3 years now and it functions superbly as when it first came out of the box. I took the camera everywhere, on land, sea and along the shores. The camera is perfect in making amateur movies and photos. I highly recommend the Canon Power Shot G12

Great Infrared
on December 2, 2014
Posted by: SyBB
from Las Vegas, NV
I purchased the G12 for picture taking while hiking. The optical viewfinder a must outdoors. I put an infrared filter over the lens thinking to use the optical viewfinder. I was surprised to see the infrared image on the LCD display. I took several pictures and they came out great. (Used a photo editing program to convert the image to monochrome.) The camera even focused correctly on the longer wavelength infrared. I also have a Canon 60D. The 60D does not work with infrared.

excellent camera
on July 2, 2014
Posted by: outdoorimages
I purchased this to replace an A95. I love it. It gets used more than all of my others. It is small an light, will fit into a large pocket, but still heavy enough to not 'bounce' when your holding it. I like the LCD screen that rotates for shots that are hard to access the back of the camera. The RAW capture is also a plus. All of the buttons are accessible, although my larger fingers tend to bump the wrong buttons at times. Battery life is very good. Overall, a very nice unit. If I have a complaint, it will be that there is still a 'lag' for the shutter. All else works very well. I'm very happy with this camera.
Pros: light and small enough, shoots raw, controls accessable, lcd screen rotates
Cons: buttons small and close for larger hands
I would recommend this to a friend!

G12 CAMERA REVIEW
on July 12, 2013
Posted by: jucarito
I HAVE MY CAMERA SINCE DECEMBER 17, 2010. I NOTICED THAT I ALWAYS HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH THE FOCUS, I THOUGH IT WAS ME. THEN ON AND OFF, SINCE THE BEGINNING, I HAD A BLANK SCREEN BUT AFTER FEW SECONDS IT WORKED NO PROBLEM.
THEN ONE DAY IN MAY IT JUST STOP WORKING THE SCREEN WENT BLANK AND THE FEW TIMES IT WORKED IT GAVE ME A DISTORTED IMAGE! MY CAMERA NEVE EVER HAD A FALL. FOR THE PRICE VERY DISAPPOINTED. I WILL LOOK FOR ANOTHER BRAND NAME.
