About a week ago I ordered the G12. As always, fast delivery. For me, it is next to my 2 DSLR (50D, 7D), the camera on the go or even in passing. Since I have two days last week as a photographer accompanied a big event, I had ample opportunity the G12 extensively to use / test. Compared to G10, it is somewhat !! chunky. But that is of no consequence at all. If that already is too big, should set an IXUS or similar prefers. As one who is better served. But that's about all that could be negative. Otherwise: The camera takes excellent shots even at ISO speeds up to 1000 which I find very vorteihaft the individual limit of ISO speed in Auto mode. Since the noise is compared to G10 but very, very low. Here the camera is already up close to the 50D. The shutter lag has been reduced. Again, not far from a DSLR. The folding screen is exactly what I've always wanted in the G10. For anyone who has ever had a Klappdiplay, it does not want to miss. I do not always crawling around on the ground or lie and also I'm not the greatest, so that I can see over their heads. The size of Diplays is sufficient. It may, if eingelappt, do not scratch and when flipped, folded visible, a thicker frame to protect it from fingers and scratching. The Image Stabilizer has improved and also the HDR mode, I can only praise. The only one can also shoot reasonable, I find as a photographer, is a great touch because it occurs before and I shoot short movies, which I then breaking in into a slide show with. Conclusion after about 400 shots: The camera has just won and if I could I would give it 6 stars. It is not suitable for beginners and Gelegenheitsfotografierer. There is more suitable cameras on the market. But for the professional or semi-professional it is the first choice. You have to master the camera and know what you want to do with the camera. Then she is indispensable.
Oh, if I today still get upset about a decline in prices for electronic goods, I will never be able to buy something. It could, and is determined to become cheaper. Until that comes new.
