Canon PowerShot G12 10MP Digital Camera Review

I have been into photography for well over 40 years, amateur and professionally. During that time I've owned all of the majour brands of cameras, both film and digital. After digital came along I've owned 3 Olympus DSLR'S, 1 Nikon point and shoot, i.e., S550, and now the Canon PowerShot G12 Digital Camera. I must admit that my professional days are long gone and the majority of my photography is either macro of plant, flowers, bugs, etc. and during travel. I also own a pro-sumer Panasonic video camera as well. One thing I have always regretted is having to lug heavy bulky camera equipment around. Owning my first point and shoot camera several years ago, the Nikon S550 really opened my eyes to the utility and convenience of a small well made camera. After reading about the latest point and shoot options I settled on the Canon PowerShot G12 Digital Camera. I still can't believe what they pack into such a small piece of kit!

The stills and 720i HD video (with stereo sound) that this Canon PowerShot G12 Digital Camera is remarkable to me. I read one of the "1 star" reviews and totally DO NOT AGREE. It continually amazes me why consumers denigrate a product when they can read, I assume, what they are buying. I would much rather own a single camera with minor compromises than decide not to carry a camera (stills or video) and miss a great shot. One thing I believe is that many consumers are convinced that the large, heavy, and bulky "pro" cams have got to be better, if not the best. Those huge pro lens are totally unnecessary with digital sensors vs. film. The only reason that those huge lens were necessary was that film required much more light gathering capacity. That is why the four thirds system was invented. All the majour companies have done is basically convert their 35mm cameras to digital.

It took me a long time to convince myself of the above reality. The features of my new Canon PowerShot G12 Digital Camera would serve perfectly almost any average consumer, pro and/or otherwise, unless you're more into "conspicuous consumption" than a reasonably priced feature packed camera that you can take virtually anywhere and shoot either great stills and/or videos. The photo software that comes with the camera is also stellar, as is the plethora of accessories offered. They even offer an underwater enclosure if your into diving. The only thing that I'm am curious about is why they included an optical view finder? That's not a criticism, it just seems a bit out of place? I just can't say enough about this jewel.
