Canon G12


Sorry, this is a little off topic...... I was wondering what price a 2nd hand G11 is selling at now? I tried to find one in B&S but I could not find one listed.

I have an opportunity to buy one at $455. Is this too much or just about right?

$455 is pretty reasonable if condition is excellent and there is warranty remaining.... otherwise u can pop another $200 to buy the G12.

Thanks, I bought the camera today. It is brand new with full warranty. I considered the G12 but from I can see they are pretty close in features. The G12 is a little better in video but I use it mostly for stills. I can use the $200 buy some accessories and maybe a nice meal.

How does the original case from Canon that you get as part of the package/gift looks like?

the original one is just a black leather pouch by canon...
boring cos everytime when i need to shot with my G12 still gotta take out but the leather case i bought is damn cool, no need to take out to use my G12... ;)
 

Only manage to play with the G12 today. I took it out to take some shots when i went out for lunch. It was snowing, and the G12 is quite tough for a P&S. I took no special care. got slightly wet due to snow as I enter the cafe, but it is still working fine. Pictures' quality are very decent for such a small sensor. But I feel that lens is not as sharp as I hope. Than again I am comparing against a 7D + CZ lens which i am current using now.

On the whole, I like it as I can use it like a RF by turning off the sound and using the rotating LCD. It allows me to take more candid photo without alerting my subjects.



Here are some of the shot I took, and did some PP on it, ie WB & EV. No sharpening nor noise reduction were done.

Took this pic with the lens full extended @ 30.5mm Av mode f/4.5 iso-80 cropped to isolate the subject.

Minature effect of the park @ 30mm. I up the saturation and increase the highlights a little more.

Same composition @ a wider angle (13mm). Does not look as nice as above... what do u all think?

hey, where can I still get this deal?
 

any can get G12 lower than $710 with GST in singapore?
 

how much is it selling recently?
my friend wish to get one :)
 

I just checked DDE and the G12 is selling for $697.

Someone is selling a used G11 on the B&S for $700! Somehow the math just doesn't seem to work.
