Re: How many still use G12

A few years on. It is mid-2018, and the G12 that was my pocket and travel camera from late 2010 to late 2013 has long been superseded by cameras with bigger sensors and/or more pixels.

It is hardly worth selling at the price I could realistically ask, especially as one of the strap lugs has broken because of the cheesy metal it was made from (not that it makes any difference to me as I always use it with a wrist strap attached to the tripod socket).

By the time postage is paid and eBay and PayPal have taken their cut I might as well give it away. So instead I am keeping it to use in places and conditions that I don't want to risk a more valuable camera.

I am still astonished at the quality of image that the G12 gets from its tiny sensor and tiny pixels when the focus and exposure are spot on, and there is no camera shake, even when shooting JPEGs rather than RAW, as you can see below. Shame about the two dead pixels

Out of camera JPEG - no post-processing at all
