What I saw is that the SX40 was practically noise free due to noise reduction, while the G12 showed less noise reduction and a noisier image. But the G12 also had more detail. In spite of the noise reduction in the SX40, I would have to say the OOC image from it was superior to the G12. It was smooth and quite nice, unless you pixel peeped for fine detail It would have taken quite a bit of PP on the G12 image to equal what was OOC on the SX40. So that was impressive to me.

Have to agree - Canon has done a very impressive job with this camera. I suspect the extra performance available from the new Digic 5 processor has allowed them to implement some sophisticated algorithms.
