Canon PowerShot G12 10.0MP Digital Camera - Black

Best Bang for the Buck

Had every brand of camera on the market. In fact I own 4 Canon cameras at this time. The G12 is almost perfection. So easy to use for a full function camera. Canon controls are laid out in such a logical easy to learn format. BIG battery for long running time. Nice articulated screen too. WORTH EVERY PENNYRead full review

Deafening bells and whistles

I was looking for a simple. compact camera that would give me good image quality. I wanted it for discreet street shooting. But the camera is so complex and offers so many options that I have a hard time using it. If this were my only camera or my principal one, I would put in the time to learn it thoroughly. But as it is there are too many trips and traps that I fall into.

The articulated screen is a great feature, but I can't exploit it until I learn the camera better. I owned a compact Canon before, so I am familiar with the Canon interface for its Powershots, but the G12 is a whole new game.

I don't get great image quality with it; but if I knew the camera better, I might.

In sum: the camera has many features you don't expect in such a compact and inexpensive unit, but you've got to put in a lot of time and thought to access all its capacities. Read full review

The Canon Powershot Camera is great camera at a great price.

I've gone through 2 of these cameras since it came out in 2010 and it's still a joy to use. In fact I have 2 in case the one I am currently using dies. I find it that fun to use and I have 2 other cameras. I would probably still have the first one if I hadn't dropped it when changing the battery and gotten sand all inside of it.

It has a fully-articulated screen and a viewfinder. Numerous picture modes and takes WONDERFUL pictures. I admit that even though you can use aperture priority, raw files and such call me lazy but I just use auto and stick to the jpgs. I know that cameras that have come out more megapixels but this one still gives them a run for their money. This may not be geared towards social media influencers with millions of followers or content creators with a million dollar budget. But if you're interested in taking extremely high quality family or vacation pics that you can share online or print out you should take a close look at this camera. It may not turn heads but the images it produces may. Unlike iPhone photos they're natural looking. I find them more to my liking than most any produced by a smartphone. And that fully-articulated screen AAA plus.Read full review

The ultimate party camera.

My all-time favorite camera for candid party shots. Versatile (swing out monitor) makes it easy to handle, with exposure setting dials on top for quick and simple shooting adjustments.
The only design flaw is the lens cover that closes too close to the lens. Any bit of sand or dirt that gets on the lens when the camera shuts down can & too often does create a permanent scratch on the lens. I've had two previous G12s ruined this way.
But as far as 10 meg point & shoot cameras go, this one is very tough to beat.Read full review

Great camera!!

The quality of the pictures are way better and more clear than I ever imagined. Especially for being over 10 years old. Super well taken care of!! I got it for my partners birthday and he loves it.

Canon G12 In the Box

Added this camera to my large digital and film format collection. Love to stick this in my pocket or car and just head out to the landscape. Very happy with its versatility and handing. Many features without carrying a ton of lenses with you and works well with my older and arthritic hand too!Read full review

Decent Advanced Point & Shoot Camera

Lots of dials instead of menu after menu on an LCD screen for quick settings. Image quality is great for such a small sensor.

Nice camera

I bought this for my daughter, because my son has one and he loves it. Very easy to take either high or low angle shots, and the image quality is excellent. It is nice and compact, but it has a good heft to it. this isn't a cheap plastic camera. You can do a lot with it, or you can just put it on auto and use it as a point and shoot..Read full review

Lightweight with Great Features

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants a camera that won't break the bank and still has amazing video and picture quality. The reason why I got this one instead of a more 'modern' Canon G model is that the G12 has the moveable viewfinder. I would recommend getting the viewfinder model for anyone who might want to vlog or do face to camera videos. It is definitely a great product. Highly recommend itRead full review
