If you don’t own a G-series camera already, then the G12 is a great camera to start with due to its functionality which is hard to beat. However, as someone that owns a G11, I see no need to upgrade at this time due to the limited improvements between the two. I am still looking for a 1080P video mode that is actually usable and not just an add on feature that doesn’t work very well regarding zoom, etc. I do like some of the added features of the G12.
But if Canon wants to keep up with the competition, the next G-series camera better take a larger leap in improvements and not just a few tweaks. They’re recycling the lens and they shouldn’t have. The G12 should have had a higher quality (optically) F2.0 lens to better compete and be a real “upgrade” from the previous model. The swivel LCD and added video mode are fine, but they’ve fallen into the same habit most makers do these days where each incarnation of a camera is just a slight upgrade of a feature or two instead of a truly updated model …..
