VERY pleasantly surprised

My initial feeling about getting the G12 over a DSLR was one of 'settling' for a compact. When I came across one at Bestbuy for $379 in a recent trip to Michigan (new, unopened!), I couldn't resist so I pulled the trigger. It did not disappoint. DSLR-like controls and image quality that surpassed my expectations. An absolute no-brainer at this price point.

Problems:

Video capability so so, relative to other cameras, but camcorder calibre video is of low interest to me in a camera.
