Canon G12 10MP Digital Camera Comment - Feast your eyes on an upgraded G series digital camera!

Let me first say that I own or owned a G10, G11, G12 and. I'm not sure why we expect the Canon G12 Digital Camera a major update to the G11. The title of this journal is the first rule of marketing materials on the site Canon .... So this is what I personally expected, and Canon is as far as I'm concerned. I am not a professional, if my observations from the perspective of an average man with a serious addiction camera. I took advantage of images side by side with my G10, G11, G12 and I have to be honest, I could not say much, but a nod would go to the last picture. They're all great, however, and are perfect for an average user like me. My tests are not scientific and not exhaustive - I have to work to live, after all. I am very satisfied with the quality, but it is a major update since the previous G series cameras, I do not think so. If I had to choose, I'd probably go for the Canon G12 Digital Camera, because the pictures are a bit more pleasant for me and the camera is easier to work with, but only if I am forced to choose!



Canon G12 Digital Camera

 Build quality is as you expect from Canon's upscale compact that costs $ 500. It's great, just like the G10 and G11. They feel and look quite similar. There are a few additional rubber on the back of your thumb, which is nice. General, and my hands are small enough, I find the Canon G12 10MP Digital Camera easiest of the three cameras I compare retention.

Probably the most important feature is the use of Canon HS (high sensitivity) system (combination of sensor and processing engine), which migrates from the EOS range. Is his promise to improve the image quality and can shoot up to ISO? I think the answer is yes it does, but not much. The camera tops out at ISO 3200 registered on the dial and you can bump to 12,800 but at lower resolution using the Low Light mode. Again, this is how it looks unprofessional my rapidly aging eyes. Whether it's worth missing an upgrade to a G11 is completely subjective and I can not answer that for everyone. The device also features a hybrid system to update the Canon 100mm macro lens, which compensates for a greater variety of camera type. It seemed that the camera work more effectively to obtain sharper images at the same speed as my G11. This is important for me that my hands shake and I like macro and can not always use a tripod. I also want people to buy a point and turn the camera on a tripod shooting with them.

There are other shooting modes including new HDR, which takes several photos, then combines them for details, better lighting. FYI, this feature is available in the Ricoh cameras for some time now, Canon and Nikon are just catching up here. But I think it works a little better on the Canon as it is in my Ricoh. The images seem a little richer, more detailed for me. Canon offers a level to match with this camera lets you view your photos, and more levels. Another feature that also for years.

There are other subtleties of this unit. As you can pre-set the maximum ISO sensitivity level (like many cameras seem to have more than I can the ISO myself), there is a dial settings before (another legacy of the EOS) of control, you can dynamic range (like the Sony cameras of the past) to better highlight control, and can be fired in an aspect ratio of 1:1 (square, which I personally that, you guessed it, Canon is too late for the party in this function) to name a few.

I will not comment on the video. I never use it and if I could capture video capabilities to say, a sensor slightly larger or better, faster lens or a trade, I would without hesitation. But I have no idea if something is possible or even practical. This is only my opinion and reflects my personal set of priorities. If it were me, I would refrain from most of the scenes and the video if it meant a lower price or a camera with better picture quality.

I share many of the conclusions that it is a gradual upgrade of the G11 and Canon's literature seems to suggest. Higher expectations than can be met with disappointment. But in my opinion, the Canon G12 Digital Camera bar, if only slightly, one of the best compact cameras available. I suppose that as long as you keep the Canon G12 Digital Camera is, (an upgrade) in perspective with what is not (evolution), you will find yourself regretting your purchase.
