Canon PowerShot G12 prices and specs
The PowerShot G12 was released on Sep 14, 2010 and is on sale in USA for 594.99
The PowerShot G12 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The PowerShot G12 has different automatic modes but you won't shoot photos of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The camera can shoot images at 10 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This model has a 1/1.7' (7.44 x 5.58 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot G12 will take images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot G12 has small dimensions and weight. And if you want to make images of the best quality pay attention to Sony Alpha 7S II.
The PowerShot G12 has max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for making action images of a satisfactory quality. The PowerShot G12 has articulated LCD that will let the photographer to shoot amazing selfies. The photographer will be able to shoot HD videos that guarantees a good picture quality.
The lens is built into the camera and you won't be able to switch it. The lens provides satisfactory 5x optical zoom.
The PowerShot G12 battery life will be enough to make approximately 370 images.
