Фотоаппарат Canon PowerShot G12

Canon’s flagship G-series compacts have built an enviable reputation for being the backup cameras chosen by professional photographers and for good reason. The G12 is built like a tank and is designed to go where most compacts can’t, the 5x zoom lens is superb (albeit limited to 28mm at the wide end) and there’s even a viewfinder for those sunny days, although the articulated screen works like a charm.The G12 also has Canon’s new generation 10MP sensor up its sleeve. Dropping the resolution of the sensor was a brave move but it’s paid dividends in a big way as the G12 has low light abilities that seem improbable in a compact. This is one of the best point and shoot cameras available today because the G12 can be left to its own devices and the images will almost always be realistic, properly exposed and sharp pretty much regardless of the ISO setting. Shots from the G12 were the best of any of the compacts on test and its 720p video output was also top notch.

Slow continuous shooting at full resolution.; Can't optically zoom while filming.; Lumix LX5 and PowerShot S95 compelling alternatives.; No longer smaller than a camera with a DSLR sensor

Canon's PowerShot G12 may only represent a modest update over its predecessor, but by addressing some of the criticisms of that model while adding a few small but neat new features, it's become a preferable camera overall. So the first headline is...

Ferraris get updated every few years. And so do Canon's “G” series point-and-shoot cameras. Last year we tested the G11 and liked it a lot, but it still had some drawbacks, notably the lack of high-def video recording. The company rectified that...

Very good picture quality, Low noise even in very low light, Tweaks galore, HDR a great option for still subjects

Expensive, Too much noise at elevated ISOs, No dedicated video button, May be the end of an era

The G12 delivers excellent image and video quality; and it backs up its manual controls with fun scene modes, an optical viewfinder, and a tilt-and-swivel LCD screen.

Like the competing (and also excellent) Nikon Coolpix P7000, the 5X optical zoom G12 (28mm to 140mm) offers fast access to ISO and exposure-compensation settings via top-mounted dials, a proprietary hot shoe that supports an external flash, an...
