SLR practice machine - well deserved. After several years, I bought 3200 (including tax point) without hesitation, because it is a qualitative leap over G11. All kinds of SLR functions are available. The picture quality is impeccable for amateurs. Whether night view or day view.
I usually play once a week, practicing while looking for materials to learn. It took more than 4 years to master the basic knowledge of photography, some basic skills, SLR principles, lenses, lighting, etc... There is no end to learning. Now, if you can't take good photos with G12, don't blame the bad machine. You can only blame yourself. At least how many times stronger is G12 than the top Li Guangqiang 20 years ago? At that time, the masters were all using it, and how many master level works were shot.
The knowledge accumulated in several years is enough. Now I'm ready to start a two handed 60d or d7000 to meet my desire to continue learning.
However, the G16 has been released and it is recommended to purchase. Compared with the G12, it is a leap, just like the G12 leaped over the G11.

Canon G12 camera has complete functions, good performance and effect. Its appearance is the most beautiful among card machines. It is incomparable to any model of any brand produced later. It's just that the price is too expensive.

It's a good machine for learning photography. It's worth playing with the full manual control. Don't compare it with the SLR, the product of what era. It's just that the sensor is a little small. Everything else is excellent! Rotating disc+macro+better focus section, floating aperture is not bad. Photography can't produce good pictures with a SLR cannon. You should pay attention when using this machine. It is best to use it when the light is good, or you can use flash to fill the light. Bad photos are not a problem of the camera, but the level of the people who use the camera. I have film machine, G12, micro stand-alone, 5D SLR. I think G12 is OK and suitable for carrying.

The instructions are too simple, and the functions of the buttons on the machine body are not clear.

The LCD screen is good. It looks quite professional, and has face. The face of the portrait is white, but other machines can achieve similar effects after exposure compensation of 0.3, and the sharpness is completely better than G12 (it only takes three days, and some advantages may not be realized)

Most dissatisfied

The picture quality is not as good as its price, which is 3000 yuan or 4000 yuan. The price is stupidly high. It is the same level as a Kodak old machine (Z1285) CCD several years ago, which is also 1/1.7. The picture quality of the same scene with the same bracket is not as good as that of the Z1285. If it is hard to imagine compared with the LX5, where can Canon put its face?

summary

G12 is used to shoot sugared water tablets for MM (without SLR). If you want to shoot scenery films, like shooting flowers or shooting birds, you can't choose it at all. Besides, I don't know how many machines are better than this price.

There are several more functions. The control is a sign. The frosted shell does not leave fingerprints. The workmanship is exquisite, and the image quality is excellent in this level of camera.

Most dissatisfied

Some functions are devices. For example, some modes in SCN are not as easy to use as the first level digital camera. There are too many keys, so I can't find a perfect way to hold it. It's too heavy, so I always feel uncomfortable. In addition, the auto mode always feels a bit overexposed. I don't know if it is a common problem of digital cameras.

summary

Some time ago, I asked my friend to buy it in the United States. The tax on the G11 was only more than $450. Later, the G12 was just listed in the United States, so I bought it. The price was a little high. I wanted to buy the LX5, but by comparison, the two prices were the same in the United States. Compared with the domestic g12, it was a little more expensive, and Canon did not cut the price too much. Basically, they are still in the process of getting familiar with it. Nice camera.

Although the sparrow is small and full of functions, it is more convenient to carry than the SLR, and its effect is much stronger than that of the card. Originally, it used to use external cards to shoot night scenes or dynamic pictures, but the SLR is too big. The G12 is a sharp tool. A sharp weapon for going out often.

Most dissatisfied

3600, the price is unreasonable,

summary

I originally liked the NEX5C, but I considered it for portability. It is much stronger than the card, but it is a bit expensive. The price of this product should be set at below 3000 yuan.

The machine delivered yesterday, which has been used for half a day and today, is really the flagship of the flagship. It deserves its reputation and is a good machine. Holding it steadily, like a SLR, it has excellent high sense and convenient functions. Many functions need not be set in the menu, but the most convenient one is the flip screen. It is extremely convenient to shoot films from special angles, and has strong battery life. It is the leader of flagship machines of various brands!

Most dissatisfied

In terms of shortcomings, I feel that the aperture is a little small, but I haven't found any other aspects. Some people say that the price is high, and it's reasonable to pay for everything. Never be greedy for bargains. Businesses are not stupid, nor are customers. ha-ha

summary

It's a good camera worth getting. You don't want to buy an SLR, just use this machine. It will certainly meet your requirements for picture quality.

The color is a little bright, it feels very beautiful, easy to operate, the workmanship is also very good, and the feel is good.

Most dissatisfied

The cost performance ratio is not high. It is a little big based on the card machine and a little small based on the SLR machine. The wide-angle and telephoto are not satisfactory. Flipping the screen does not make much sense, and the function is only average.

summary

According to such a model, more efforts should be made on wide-angle and telephoto. The price is on the high side. The function is average and should be improved.

After several days of groping for the G12, I have preliminarily mastered the common settings and use, and took several photos on the street, and the overall performance is relatively satisfactory. In a word: worthy of the name, the standby SLR!
1. During the trial, I felt that this camera is really fast: it has fast startup speed, fast focusing time, short shutter lag, and almost no waiting.
2. It is really different from the flagship aircraft in previous years.
3. The flip screen is very convenient for viewing from different stand angles. When you turn off playback, you can directly press the playback button instead of turning on the power switch to extend the lens, which is very convenient.......
4. Servo auto focusing is very sensitive. The focusing frame follows the 90 degree moving main body and focuses quickly.
5. Beautiful appearance, comfortable grip, powerful functions, very satisfied overall.

Most dissatisfied

1. The price is too high! It should be about 3K. It is 1K more expensive than P7000.
2. The machine feels a little heavy, and the zoom lever is a little small, which is inconvenient to operate.
3. When holding the machine, the thumb of the right hand is easy to pop other keys by mistake.
4. The long focal length and short focal length are slightly insufficient, and it is ideal to reach 200mm.
5. Other shortcomings haven't been found yet.

summary

It's worth having!

In terms of the screen, the flip design of Canon G12, the design of double wave wheels on the control, and the added level can be used as an entry-level SLR learning machine.
The performance and operation of color are well reflected!

Most dissatisfied

The price is on the high side, which is a big problem. If it can be reduced to over 3000, it will still be a very owned machine.

summary

Easy to use, worth having!

The 1/1.7 size CCD photosensitive original is a highlight, which is relatively powerful and has good image quality.

Most dissatisfied

The 5x optical zoom can't keep up with the trend. If it is increased to about 30x, it will be about the same. The most important thing is that the price is extremely expensive. If it can be reduced by 1000 yuan, it will be basically reasonable.

summary

The overall feeling is that Canon manufactures - not the best, but the most expensive.

1: I can't think of it. Just give me a color to look good
2: I can't think of it. Just give it a portable one

Most dissatisfied

1: The price is much higher than that of similar models, and much higher than that of foreign g12.
2: The handling performance is not as good as that of the p7000. The aperture depends on the wheel, which is not worthy of the flagship reputation. The shutter speed and aperture of the p7000 depend on that wheel, which is very convenient.
3: The camera cannot focus all the time, and the exposure cannot be adjusted, while the p7000 can.
4: Charging time is too long, 2.5 hours, while the p7000 takes only 1.5 hours.
5: The LCD screen is only 2.8 "460000 pixels, while the p7000 is 3" 960000 pixels.
6:.........
Forget it, don't write it, or C powder will start to thicken

summary

It's not worth buying.

My friends around me are always 5D2, D7000 and DMARKII. I don't need such a good camera, but I just want to take good photos of the product. So I chose G12. Its various functions definitely meet my needs. At the same time, I can shoot more things in depth. Now I take G12 everywhere, which is very convenient and powerful. This camera was bought for 500 Canadian dollars, very good! It's worth having!

Most dissatisfied

As the flagship of the small DC, I tried to connect the computer to control the shooting by various means, but it was unsuccessful. It seems that only the 5D2 and other specific models can. However, I also accept the price. The zoom is not available in DV mode. This is a fatal weakness, but it's too wasteful to use this camera to do RECORD. It doesn't matter

summary

Price, performance, worth having!

The machine body is of excellent workmanship, good feel, and good shooting effect. News and creation can be expressed. The flip screen is easy to use when shooting outside. A few days ago, I took part in a large-scale folk activity and grabbed position with a group of SLR players. When I couldn't squeeze in, I raised the machine and took many precious shots. If it was a normal head up camera, it would be terrible.

Most dissatisfied

There are some shortcomings in positioning. If the SLR is used as an auxiliary machine, it is too large and too heavy. It takes up a lot of space in the SLR bag. If it is used as a host for beginners to learn, it is obviously not powerful enough. It can't cope with the wide angle and distant stage. The card machine for entertainment is too thick, too heavy and too hard to see.

summary

The G series will definitely be a classic by 12. Just like the D90 of the SLR, 10 and 11 have made too many breakthroughs, bringing many problems. No new design concept has appeared in 12, which may be one thing.

My mother asked for this when G7 was broken. Go straight to G12. Say more popular. The flip screen is more convenient, and the effect is much better than that of ordinary card machines. The aperture is actually large enough for the consumer level. The operating buttons are easy to operate on the bright side. 720P high-definition home is enough

Most dissatisfied

It's bigger than G7, a little stupid. The battery is not in common use with the previous series. The smallest aperture F8 is a little bit close

summary

Not professional ordinary household is enough. It should be choosy. Why not buy fixed focus or SLR

The shooting effect at night is very good. The picture quality is better than that of ordinary cards. The rotating screen can take a self portrait

Most dissatisfied

The battery is not durable, the color is not sharp enough, and the image quality is not bright

summary

It's OK for home use, but I don't think it's cost-effective. It's quite large and heavy to carry around with you. It's not convenient to have a card. The picture quality is far inferior to an introductory SLR, like a chicken rib product

The picture quality is good (in a small DC). It has complete functions. I bought it because only Canon's DC has a shutter cable interface and a flip screen. The rest are not as good as Panasonic's lx5 or flat

Most dissatisfied

HD shooting is rubbish, even if you can't zoom, there is no real-time focusing, hateful Canon, a toothpaste squeezing upgrade!!

summary

If Panasonic lx5 has a flip screen and shutter cable interface, it must have bought Panasonic. Unfortunately, Panasonic does not have one, nor does Olympus's new flagship dc. The smart Canon has accurate positioning and absolutely added all the functions used in professional photography. From this point of view, don't they understand what professional portable computers should have? I wanted to buy Panasonic gh2, but there is no shutter cable interface

The fuselage has texture, good image quality and high sense effect. HDR mode is very powerful. HS

Most dissatisfied

Distortion is obvious at wide angle end, and macro distance is affected; The price is a little high; The shutter and zoom knob positions are unreasonable, affecting operation; The front operation key is too tight, easy to operate by mistake

summary

G12 is a professional DC, 5 times light is enough, not suitable for beginners and beginners

Compared with G11, CCD is upgraded to HS SYSTEM style; Add front adjustment turntable; Upgrade video capture to 720p format; Optical anti shake upgrade to dual IS; Add electronic level.

Most dissatisfied

The continuous shooting function [about 2.0 pictures/second in P mode, about 4.2 pictures/second in low light mode] needs to be enhanced. The maximum aperture at the telephoto end is not enough to handle handheld night shots.

summary

It is one of the flagship cameras besides SLR and SLR!
