As already mentioned, the PowerShot G12 is largely the same as the G11. Like the older camera, the G12 is based around a 10-million-pixel CMOS sensor. This sensor is slightly larger than standard compact camera sensors, measuring 1/1.7in (around 7.6×5.7mm). This allows the photosites to be larger and therefore able to capture more light. However, d...
Made of magnesium alloy, the Canon PowerShot G12 is very well built and sturdy. It is reassuringly chunky, yet still small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. By making the G12 larger than many other compact cameras, Canon has been able to place buttons and controls for all the most commonly changed settings directly on the body of the camera. It is ...
Image: The default colour and contrast settings of the G12 produce good images straight from the camera Owners of Canon EOS DSLRs will be pleased to learn that the colours produced by the PowerShot G12 look remarkably similar to those rendered by the EOS models. It is likely that the G12 will spend much of its time in AWB mode, and I found that in ...
As an occasional replacement for a DSLR, the Canon PowerShot G12 has all the metering modes you could want. The most commonly used one will be the evaluative metering mode, which assesses the brightness across a scene and calculates how to correctly expose the image. For the most part the evaluative metering mode works extremely well, giving priori...
As a compact camera, the PowerShot G12 relies on contrast-detection autofocus, and this remains unchanged from the G11. The AF is fast enough for point-and-shoot photographers and great for holiday pictures and days out, but it isn?t quite as snappy as some of the other contrast-detection AF systems we have seen recently. However, low light is one ...
Image: Although JPEG images are very good, the level of detail and sharpness is noticeably better by saving and editing the raw files As the PowerShot G12 keeps the same 10-million-pixel sensor as its predecessor, the image quality is virtually identical. Our resolution chart shows that the camera is capable of resolving to around 24 when the sensi...
Combined with evaluative exposure metering, the PowerShot G12 produces images that are full of detail in the highlight and shadow areas. Although highlight details do sometimes burn out, for the most part it is possible to recover it, particularly from raw files. When shooting at low sensitivities I found images could be brightened by around 4EV an...
The Canon PowerShot G12 is one of the few compact cameras still to feature an optical viewfinder. Unfortunately, this particular feature is one of the G12’s worst. While it is nice that it has an optical viewfinder, some may think that improvements in LCD screens have rendered the viewfinder on the G-series cameras irrelevant. It is small, suffers ...
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 Compact of the Year award. The problem is that the G series is now facing a lot more competition,...
The high-end compact market has suddenly become very hotly contested, with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, Samsung EX1 and Nikon Coolpix P7000 all offering competition for the Canon PowerShot G12. Of these, the most obvious competitor will be the Nikon Coolpix P7000. Like the G12, it features a 10-million-pixel sensor and a maximum sensitivity of ISO ...

Nov 3, 2010 · The compact features a 5x optical zoom, covering a range of 28-140mm in conventional 35mm terms with maximum apertures of f/2.8 – 4.5 as well as Hybrid IS. Again, as with competing models in the advanced compact market, the Canon PowerShot G12 now features HD movie capture.

The Smart Auto mode for novice users enables Canon’s Scene Detection Technology to select the most appropriate camera settings from a choice of 28 possible variables (six more than in the G11) by analysing subject brightness, contrast, distance, overall hue and face movements.
