In below review said lens of G12 similiar to 28-135mm in full frame.

Does it correct ?

Not really, I was looking at the specs of the G16 lens: 6.1 to 30.5mm. That is:

6.1 (W) - 30.5 (T) mm (35mm film equivalent: 28-140mm)

While the lens is equivalent to 28-140mm, optically it is still a very wide lens. Wide lenses are good when you need greater depth of field at lower f stops (i.e. f.18-2.0).

You will soon notice that your DSLR pics don't look that sharp due to limited depth of field because a 28-135mm DSLR at 28mm will have a depth of field about the same as your G12 zoomed all the way.

Another difference is the focusing distance:

DSLR 28-135mm lens: 0.5m / 1.6 ft

G16 6.1-30.5mm lens: Normal: 2.0 in. (5cm) - infinity (W), 1.3 ft. (40cm) - infinity (T)
