Can a G12 do Live View HDMI Out?

Hi all

I'm looking for an inexpensive solution to setting up a photo booth...  Looking to spend less than $300 so a used G12 is one of my obvious choices.

I need the following features:

  1. Ability to trigger the camera remotely (3rd party triggers are ok)
  2. Hot Shoe
  3. Ability to instantly display the last photo for approximately 5 seconds on an external monitor via HDMI
  4. Manual controls with good image quality
  5. Good battery life

It would be even better if:

  1. It could display live view via HDMI.  Then display the photo as soon as it is shot for approx 5 seconds for them to review and then continue shooting
  2. LCD turned off while using Live View via HDMI to save battery
  3. Had the option of running on A/C power

Can the G12 do this?  Any other camera that I should be looking at?   A used DSLR is also OK as long as I don't spend more than $400 including lens.

Appreciate your advice.

Alfredo
