The G12 shows off it's rich Powershot legacy with a fully featured offering, sharp and reasonably fast lens, and excellent image quality. For a small sensor compact, no camera has the G12 beat, and the image quality at times rivals some DSLR APS-C sensors.
Build quality and feature set are first rate. The tilt screen offers angles to photo opportunities that would be impossible for a standard screen. Stereo HD video is a plus.
Without a doubt this is Canon's best Powershot to date and it leaves all other enthusiast compacts in the rear view mirror.
I find the image quality to be better than Panasonic's G1 mirrorless camera that has a larger sensor, and handling blows it away as well.
No banding in the raw files seen at any ISO (banding to me is a death knell to image quality). Considering this is such a small sensor, this is a fantastic fact.
Battery life is fantastic and beats many DSLRS.
A well rounded, versatile photographic machine. Great for pro's and enthusiasts who want a compact that least sacrifices all of the things that make DSLR systems great.
Probably the most balanced overall compact product ever made from any manufacturer ever.
Problems:
No problems.
Would like to have contrast, sharpness, and noise reduction options for all the My Color settings (including black and white etc.).
