Considering a used G12. Want comments.

There's one being sold locally for a very decent price.  What I would like to know is, is the G12 still considered a reputable quality camera?  Are there any expected problems known to be a characteristic of this camera by it now being several years old?  Any other warnings of which I should be alerted?

Finally what do you feel would be a fair price?  (I'm purposely withholding the asking price for now.)  The camera, battery and charger is the complete deal.

I currently have a Olympus XZ-2, but once had an earlier G-series Canon, and prefer the exterior controls on the Canon.  Maybe I should just stay-put with the Oly?

Thanks for any and all comments.
