I agree that the G12 is a great camera. But for the money, I would rather buy a G10 or G11 from BnS. Not that much difference in features among them. Try the camera comparison chart on DP-Review and you can see for yourself.
Second this. Especially the comparison between G11 and G12, which really make one wonder if the extra dough spent is worthwhile.
that's pretty true. since the add-ons aren't really much of a techno boost against the other (more on functionality, really) i'd say the g11 will be enough to meet your needs for a while. The bns section has a g11 running for about 550..compared to a brand spankin new g12 at 750 (approx), a save of 200 which you can maybe spend on a mini bag + etc etc or whatever. more bang for you bucks i suppose.
great. now i've just convinced myself to go get a g11 instead of a g12. hahahahaha.

Noob here. My gf's eyeing the G11 (she didn't know there was a G12) as an upgrade to her Sony T90, but I had all along thought that something like a Lumix LX5 would be better for her. The G12 seems kinda bulky for a girl, so don't know how she managed to get convinced. Was thinking of waiting till SITEX to check it out, but was wondering is the G12 really better than the LX5? Or are both considered different classes so you can't really compare.
one is bigger with a tilt screen but you lose the big aperture and wider 24mm. Other than that maybe the AVHCD depending if you do a lot of video or not.
S95 will be another good choice.
Agreed. S95 is much smaller but has most of the features of the G12. It's a little cheaper too. Highly regarded camera.
finally get G12 from SLRR at 747.
I like G12 because
1. Tilt LCD, which is very good for recording. Btw, it is 720p recording,better than G11
2. Full mannual mode and interesting SCN for play
3. Good high ISO performance.
4. The front dial which is very easy to operate like DSLR
5. It can use my canon flash. that is why i did not buy P7000, which is cheaper for 100 bucks.
Congratulations on your new G12! I hope that it provides you with many cherished photos!

Took the G12 from my bro who got it for his Cambodia trip recently. After playing around it for awhile, I have to conclude that point and shoot technology has definitely make great leaps. Almost everything is too good to be true. Again, this cannot be compared to a DSLR since it is not apple to apple comparison. As a compact, I think this camera does have a class of its own.
I particularly like the macro capabilities and the noise control. Since this thread is already on G12, I will not open another one to post some of the pics that I took while having a chance to hold it before my young brother wants it back. I am seriously contemplating getting one :think:

Will post more pictures later.
