Canon PowerShot G12 is a worthy successor to the G11. The user is given full manual control over every feature of the camera. As always, ease of use and ergonomics have been given proper attention. Some nifty features such as the level gauge are very u...
Abstract: At an MRP of Rs. 31,995, the G12 is costly. Entry level dSLR cameras are cheaper, and will give you better results. The G12 is as good as, or better than, most compact cameras, but it is also pricey enough to warrant second thought. At this price poin...

For advanced users, the Canon G12 is an excellent and versatile camera that takes great-quality pictures. In fact, it really deserves five stars for its photos, but the disappointing video mode unfortunately cost it a star....
