We had heard great things about this camera from friends and reviews online, and boy were they right. It's great in low light and it's features are great. Highly recommend this camera for someone who wants basic SLR quality in a compact camera.

With each iteration of Canon's powerful G-series compact camera range, it seems to present yet another reason to buy, but also to adopt a wait and see attitude in anticipation of the next one.

Disappointed by limited f stops i.e. max f/8 Should have provided with higher F stop number up to f22.

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Large Clear LCD; Nice Body Color; Short Lag Time; Small / Compact

Limited Zoom

Surpris du temps très court! (2jours) Emballage numéro 1, rien à redire, un gros Merci. L'art et la technique photographique dans une seul main... Merci.

Trying to locate a USB cord that will fit the camera because it did not come with one. The USB is required if you want to download the solutions PDF off of the CD which is included. Also the CD contains the owner's manual which I cannot download without cord.

Does close up shots and maintains color of items shot

Package does not include USB code needed to download the PDF file off the CD

I had purchase the SX 150 in September of 2012 and was disappointed with it's performance. Everything about it was sub par and I was considering going back to using my A570is when I decided to purchase the G15 in April of 2013. After using the G15 now for 6 months, I can give it a great review.

While this is a Digital Camera it makes an excellent bridge unit for those intending to make the jump to a DSLR unit as it has that rarely seen item a viewfinder as well as a decent TFT screen so all groups are catered for.

I previously had a Canon 990 so my thoughts on this G12 are based on that camera. I like that this camera has many of the 990 features that I am use to. The next pix delay on this camera is much shorter, the low light and flash performance exceeds that of the 990, and the controls on this camera are...

Excellent in low light; Excellent manual; External Flash Capable; Fits in my pocket; Made Of Quality Materials; Many usable features; Optical Viewfinder

Heavier Than Previous Cam; somewhat bulky

I bought this camera to substitute my 60D when I'm travelling, which is most of the time. It is as the DPReview test states, a solid camera whose deeper modes and features are easily accessible without having to dive into menus or go searching for elusive buttons.
