## Description

From the Manufacturer Feast your eyes on an updated G Series digital camera: The G12. It's ready to impress the advanced amateurs who have always celebrated the G Series. The G12 is still loaded with powerful technologies that has made the G Series cameras so renowned, like the Canon HS SYSTEM, 2.8-inch Vari-angle PureColor System LCD, and RAW + JPEG image modes. Now, this flagship camera paves the way with these new upgrades like 720p HD Video with stereo sound to get crystal clear footage, multiple aspect ratios, High Dynamic Range, Electronic Level, Tracking AF, a Front Dial and much more to give you even more creative control than before! Canon PowerShot G12 Highlights 10.0 Megapixel sensor combined with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor creates Canon's HS SYSTEM The PowerShot G12 employs the HS SYSTEM by combining a powerful 10.0 Megapixel CCD sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor. Thanks to this technological advancement, the G12 is dramatically more sensitive than cameras with identical megapixel counts, and delivers spectacular images with minimal noise. Increased sensitivity demands a higher ISO speed, and the PowerShot G12 delivers with a new maximum setting of ISO 3200. Blur and camera shake are notably reduced for the ultimate in sharpness and clarity. In addition, a new Low Light mode lets you capture images in an astonishing range of conditions. The camera automatically adjusts the ISO speed from ISO 320 to ISO 12800 in relation to ambient brightness, subject movement and camera shake. Shoot 720p HD video in stereo sound and play back on an HDTV via the HDMI output The PowerShot G12 lets you record video in beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD videos (and still photos) on your HDTV with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a high-definition TV monitor. You'll enjoy the HD experience with no degradation of image or audio in the signal, plus the ability to display up to 130 still images at once. The PowerShot G12 also includes spectacular video functionality. When shooting video, you can get up close with the 5x Optical Zoom for riveting detail and realism, from the overall appearance to facial expressions! And the camera's Smart AUTO technology that helps ensure the perfect still image works to bring that same quality to your video. Shooting and recording modes including RAW + JPEG The PowerShot G12's RAW mode lets you shoot images without JPEG compression. It gives you clearer images and complete creative control in editing. RAW images are transferred directly to the computer where they can then be edited using image adjustment software or a processing application to adjust your images as you please. The camera can also be set to allow the simultaneous recording of both RAW and JPEG images while shooting. Canon's Hybrid IS compensates for angular and shift camera shake during close-up shooting The PowerShot G12 is equipped with Canon's highly advanced Hybrid IS function, which corrects camera shake from two sources to deliver sharp, blur-free images even when you zoom in close to your subject. Hybrid IS employs both an angular sensor and an accelerometer, enabling it to suppress both the blur caused by the angle of the camera and the "shift blur" that happens when your subject moves parallel to the camera, a problem that is especially noticeable at large zoom factors. With the ability to produce clear, steady images in all situations and at any zoom length, the PowerShot G12 is the camera you'll want to take everywhere. 2.8-inch Vari-angle LCD with 461,000 dots plus an optical viewfinder The PowerShot G12 gives you a large 2.8-inch PureColor System LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots. But size is only part of the story. Canon's PureColor System LCD offers spectacular color, resolution and contrast even at an angle. The screen is durable and easy to see. It is a perfect feature for gathering friends and family around to see your images. 5x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer, plus a 28mm Wide-Angle Lens The camera is equipped with a long, 5x Optical Zoom, and Canon's own Optical Image Stabilizer Technology keeps images steady and blur-free all through the zoom range--even in low light--by detecting motion and generating a corrective signal. Because it is an optical system, more corrective movement is allowed and there is no degradation of image quality. The G12 is a highly versatile camera with a wide-angle zoom lens that reaches all the way from 28mm at the wide end to 140mm at the telephoto end (35mm format equivalent). You'll capture more image in every shot, and add greater depth to your overall photography. Optional accessories including Speedlite flashes, underwater housing and Tele-Converter Lens are available The PowerShot G12 is compatible with the Speedlite flash series intended for all EOS series SLR cameras. Attach a Speedlite flash to the hot shoe, then you can set and control the flash on the "Flash Control" menu in the camera. With a Speedlight, the G12 is given extra functions such as autoflash metering, FE lock and Flash exposure compensation; continuous shooting with external flash. Also Canon's Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 enables you to have multiple slave flashes and wireless control. A Tele-Converter lens designed for the G12, Filter Adapter FA-DC58B and WP-DC34 Waterproof Case is also available. High Dynamic Range scene mode combines multiple shots into one picture Shooting in high contrast environments can often result in photos with overexposed and underexposed sections. So to tackle this problem, Canon developed the High Dynamic Range shooting mode to make select PowerShot cameras even more intuitive. Under High Dynamic Range* the camera will shoot three different exposures in a succession (underexposed, overexposed and normal) and then merge them into a single image. Underexposed areas are combined with the overexposed and vice versa, resulting in an evenly detailed image with flattering shadows and highlights. *Tripod is required.

Review: Great LITTLE camera - Getting ready for a long international vacation, I took my trusty Nikon D70 to the camera store for a cleaning. The guy at the camera shop said 1: you can't really clean these, they're disposable, and 2: this camera had enough clicks on it that it wouldn't be reliable. So much for supporting local camera shops... as soon as I got it home the card stopped responding reliably, and there's no easy way to tell if the card is bad, or the camera is making the card go bad... So, long story not so long, I asked a professional photographer friend of mine what I should do - spend $900 or $1300 for a new Nikon that supports all my lenses? He said, sure, and also get a Canon G12. More reliable, equivalent photo quality, great zoom range, and about 1/8 the size, when you factor in lenses. And of course 1/2- 1/4 the cost. Knowing that the best travel photos are the impromptu quick shots, I decided to hold off on replacing the Nikon and just take the Canon - what a great decision! The photos are fabulous, the battery life is amazing, even with lots of flashes, and the ability to quickly and accurately set manual or program settings is actually easier than on the Nikon! I shot mostly with Aperature Priority, and some with shutter Priority, but I could also set it for full auto in about 1/2 second, hand the camera to somebody else, and be in a great shot. Being able to flip the screen around lets you take pictures of yourself and family easily, and the screen has lots of different options for settings and playback that makes it great to look at. I got lots of compliments on the camera and the photos. My only wish is that I could get a little bit wider angle shots - I'm an architect and take lots of wide angle interior and exterior pictures of buildings, but it wouldn't have been worth travelling with the big camera just for those times when I wanted the extra view width. I'd probably agree with other reviewers that the viewfinder isn't very useful. There isn't any information in there, so it ends up only helping with the basic shot composition, which the screen does just as well... Great camera!
Review: The Canon G12 is Great - I got this camera to use in addition to a Canon SD450 which I already have. The SD450 almost always takes excellent pictures outdoors, but has very little you can change to control the picture the camera takes. For example, when indoors, with the camera set to auto, sometimes it will take good pictures and sometimes it won't. In an area with fluorescent lighting the pictures have a distinctly different color tone, and there is basically no way to do anything to change that until after you import the pictures and try to touch them up with photo editing software. The SD450 is great if you just want to put it in your pocket in case you happen to see something you want to take a picture of, because it is very small. I wanted the G12 to take better quality pictures of friends and family, especially at family functions like reunions and holiday gatherings. The G12 also has a better lense and more zoom. It is listed as having 5X Optical Zoom, and the camera actually has the capacity to zoom in to 10X with (I presume) an interpolated zoom for the 6x to 10X portion. I was especially interested in this camera's ability to take pictures in RAW format and the ability to take 720 HD video. When I import the original pictures, I save them in a folder I name with the date or other identifier and the word "Originals" and at the same time make another folder with the same first name and "Reduced" to put the modified pictures into. This way, if I happen to delete or ruin a picture accidentally while trying to improve it, I can always restore a copy from the original file and start over. I then use the excellent photo program that is included to reduce the size of a copy of all the pictures I decide to keep. (I was expecting yet another copy of the latest version of Adobe Photoshop Elements, but this camera comes with a much better Photo software package.) The SD450 seems to take a lot of pictures that have red eye, but so far I have not had that problem with the G12. This camera takes excellent pictures just by leaving it on full automatic. I am still learning how to use this camera, but so far, with just the auto settings I am very happy with the picture quality. The software has an excellent batch processing ability where you can select the pictures you want to change and it processes them all at once very quickly. This is very helpful if you send pictures to friends and family by e-mail. Canon also provides online storage of the pictures if you want, so you can just send people a invitation to the web site and they can go to the site by invitation only and look at, print or save any pictures they want. So far I am very impressed with the battery life. I charged it fully upon arrival and have used the camera several times, once almost all day and have not had to recharge the battery even once. It is getting low and I will fully charge it again after discharging it fully. Finally, I would like to say that desertcart was very helpful in getting the camera to me very quickly. I wanted to use it at an family reunion, but I actually waited too long to place the order. Somehow desertcart came through and I got the camera the day before the reunion. Thanks, desertcart!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be good for photographing a toddler,  mostly indoors and how is the video?**
A: It's a lot more camera than is necessary for taking pix of a little kid--it's an extremely versatile camera with many manual adjustments available, but it's also a great point & shoot camera when set to "automatic". I have only used the video a couple of times, which of course eats up a lot of the sim card's capacity. It seems to be OK, but if I wanted a video camera, I'd buy a video camera.

**Q: What kind of batteries does this need**
A: This camera (G12) uses a proprietary Canon battery NB7L. However, third-party versions are also available from around $10. The battery has a high capacity and you can take hundreds of pictures or around 1.5 hours of video on a single charge.

**Q: Can the battery be charged in camera via the USB cable?**
A: No. The USB cable is for transferring pictures to your computer.

**Q: What is the biggest SD card that can go in the g12?**
A: You should be able to find this answer in the accompanying manual.  If not, I would check the Canon website!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Camera
*by K***R on August 15, 2012*

I was looking for an alternative to my Canon DSLR for an upcoming trip to Europe: I don't want to lug a hefty camera and lens.... So I had certain key criteria, in no particular order: (1) size (but not too small)and weight, (2) picture quality, (3) ergonomics, (4) folding lcd screen, (5) viewfinder, and (6)ability to use in semi-automatic modes, but fully usable as a point and click. One at a time...the weight of the g12 is fine (quite light), and the size / ergonomics are excellent. It is easy to hold, the grips and controls are all logically placed. My wife definitely likes the size and feel of this camera. So far I've taken only a limited number of pictures, but all seem clear and sharp with crisp colors. I haven't explored all the shooting options yet, so it will take awhile before I'm completely comfortable with its flexibility. The folding lcd screen is critically important to me--I take closeup photos for eBay and this camera will be often mounted on a tripod extension arm (inside a "light-box"). Positioning the lcd screen so I don't need to do contortions is key(I'm replacing a beloved G1 camera that served me for many years). The viewfinder, although not perfect is also important when taking photos in full sun (however, the lcd screen does seem quite bright). The only negative so far is the documentation. Most features are well explained, but some like DR Correction and ISO Rate of Change are not described very well at all. I don't mind the pdf format since I can read the manual on my ipad. Also the documentation could use some examples e.g., provide a few useful camera settings and combinations when using C1 or C2. I can probably find this by searching on-line, but more of a tutorial approach would be appreciated. Update (Oct 1, 2012): I've returned after 2 weeks on vacation in Europe. The camera performed extremely well. Many of the outdoor shots were spectacular -- crisp image, vivid colors, etc. I took many pictures of poorly lit interiors where flash was not allowed. Using the low light setting (the one with the candle icon), I was able to take decent pictures with good color and acceptable sharpness. Yes, some of the pictures were a little grainy, but given the ease of use, these pictures were more than acceptable. I highly recommend this camera. Seeing the number of tourists toting heavy DSLRs around their necks confirmed this choice as an excellent travel camera. My DSLR is still my choice when taking holiday / family pictures and when traveling by car, but this camera will come along....
