This is the latest in our series of 'Quick Reviews.' We use this format for cameras that are operationally similar and identical in terms of output to models we've already reviewed. We test to confirm the image quality is identical (noise tests and shots of our 'compared to' studio scene at all ISOs), then concentrate the review on the differences between the two cameras. To learn everything about the camera you are interested in we recommend reading not only the Quick Review but also the full review of the Canon Powershot G11.
The latest model in the popular G-series of digicams for photo enthusiasts adds 720p HD video recording. Canon's PowerShot G12 can be seen as a minor or major upgrade to its predecessor, the G11, depending on how much you want HD video capabilities. The new model arrives at $100 less than the launch price of its predecessor yet adds a 720p HD movie mode with stereo audio. For movie fans, this would represent a significant improvement on the G11's VGA video with monaural audio.
The G12 is Canon's newest premium PowerShot digital compact. It inherits many feature of its predecessor, the G11, but builds on these with neat new equipment including a new control dial on the front, 720p HD movie capture, Hybrid Image Stabilisation and SDXC external storage compatibility. Doug Harman finds out if it's any good...
The G12 is, as can be expected, the best incarnation of Canon's powerful G-series yet.
