Question: any info on when the g13 will be out? I am considering waiting and would like suggestions. thanks
Document: I have a friend who is an avid amateur photographer who has several thousand dollars worth of equipment and he was impressed with this camera. I highly recommend it, I love it. Considering how much I loved the old G7, it caught me by surprise that with the newer technology I would love this camera even more. I am not happy that my G7 committed suicide, but considering how many more features have become automatic in this G12, I am glad to upgrade.
Thanks Amazon, you have done it again - outstanding and excellent service like all my other purchases!! !
I owned g9, g10, g11, but g12 is the best, I like the front main dial control, it is more like dslr and easy to use plus the video is also very good. I've been waiting for this kind of camera for so long, i'm really happy with my purchase.
This is a bare nonsense. Do not compare the G12 viewfinder to the large and heavy viewfinders in cameras like the 7D or D300. Compare the viewfinder rather to any even most modern end-of-2010 EVF (Electronic Viewfinder).I am an ardent SLR (now DSLR) user, and I find the Optical Viewfinder in both G12 and P7000 adequate and a blessing. Considering the weight, size and price, both are somewhat limited, sure.
This is a solid well built camera and I'm going to have alot of fun carrying it around with me everywhere I go. ( also, purchase the Canon 58 mm filter adapter to protect the fragile extending lens)  If like me you are tired of waiting for Nikon or Canon to introduce an affordable range finder this camera should fill the bill until they do.
I really miss the viewfinder I had on my Canon S3 IS. It had all the shooting info on the screen in the viewfinder and the diopter setting were far more variable. This viewfinder is a very simple view of your field. You still have to use the LCD screen to see your settings. The diopter setting doesn't go anywhere high enough for my lousey eyes like my other camera did.It is nice to have a lot of manual controls on the camera instead of in a fussy computer menu.
Thanks, Amazon!
I suspect that the company issued the old me, I unpacked and found many of them are split off, but the machine is no problem, the other does not matter. Do not want in the future similar situations. Thanks
I bought this camera for my Dad. He travels alot and doesn't want to lug a larger camera around while he's on the go. He's very happy with the product. The camera arrived ahead of schedule, which is always a happy face. Thanks for the good service and good product.
Living not far from B&H; in Manhattan, I had the chance to "play" with it and the other two cameras I was considering - the Nikon P7000 and the Panasonic LX5 with its external EVF - before buying. After putting the camera through its paces for a couple of weeks with my kind of photography I have come to the following conclusions.The G12 is an advanced compact camera larger than your average pocketable but smaller than a micro 4/3" or similar.
Answer: It's your lucky day--the G13 has been released. Only Canon is now calling it the S100. It is the successor to the scintillating S95, which had the same sensor and guts as the G12, with a better lens and a much nicer pocketable profile.Canon will not be making a G13. With the new M4/3 format and small APS/C mirrorless cameras now available, the G series has been made obsolete, unless Canon does what I really hope they do: put a crop sensor in the G body, design a new non-interchangeable, modest zoom wide angle f/2.0 lens around it and call it the G1A or some such to celebrate the reboot of the G series with a real sensor and a real awesome lens. Program it with Digic V and create a new category of camera: the crop sensor point and shoot. Nobody else has one except Fuji and their X100, and they are charging a mint for that. And guess what? The X100 is flat out awesome. Canon could beat the hell out of Fuji in that game. They already have a line of cameras that use crop CMOS sensors: the Digital Rebel cameras. If Canon takes their best APS/C CMOS sensor from the rebel line and builds the next G around it with a fast lens, the result will be a camera that can truly go head to head with the DSLR world. Maybe that's why Fuji makes one and Canon doesn't--because Canon doesn't want to compete with itself.Right now, if you want to buy the next evolution of the G series, get the S100. You'll love it. But the G12 is about as far as the G series can evolve in the current market.  Canon will either have to step up the G's game with a big sensor to compete with its real rivals from Panasonic, Olympus and Sony as well as Fuji, or drop the line altogether. The tiny sensor in the current G has hit the glass ceiling except in tiny pocket-sized cameras.
