Canon PowerShot G12 digital camera is the key objective of last fixed camera, and the direct successor of last year, the PowerShot G11. The Canon G12 offers the same ten-megapixel CCD sensor as its predecessor, which was presented with the same DIGIC 4 image processor that both G10 and G11. The coupling of the sensor and the processor type of the brand is now described as "SH" with the initials stand for "High Sensitivity".

The Canon PowerShot G12 offers the same features 5x optical zoom on the PowerShot G10 and G11, length 35 mm equivalent focal length of 28 mm wide angle to telephoto lens is a useful 140mm. And like its predecessor, the Canon G12 includes true optical image stabilization to help combat camera shake.

Like its predecessor, the PowerShot G12 has a 2.8-inch tilt / swivel LCD screen with 461,000 pixels. Other features of the G11 to get a high definition video output with HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI-CEC), compatibility and the ability to record still images not just as compressed JPEG files, but also as a raw file.

So what's new? There is a new button on the front of the camera, mirror camera Canon EOS digital SLR cameras, and optional support for an adapter FA-DC58B filter glass, which is consistent with the same lens to accept over 58 mm Canon filter. The top panel of the ISO dial is also thinner, so that adjustments in 1 / 3 stops, and there is also a new user-configurable Auto ISO. Another addition is the ability to autofocus tracking.

The addition of an electronic level function allows photographers to secure its own horizons. The PowerShot G12 also offers a variety of new proportions of 4:3 (native), 3:2, 16:9, 1:1 and 4:5.

A Smart Auto mode automatically selects the scene of 28 species, depending on the subject. The Canon G12 is now certified as an Eye-Fi connected, which allows access to certain management functions of the popular WiFi-enabled SD card into the camera.

The Canon PowerShot G12 also adds a new high-definition 720p video mode with stereo sound - a major upgrade of standard definition video G11 VGA with mono sound. A miniature effect during the video recording feature in the Canon G12, something we have seen in various models of Olympus digital cameras - and early indications are that, as in cameras, so it has an impact on the framerate.

There is also a new High Dynamic Range (HDR), the firing mode that captures three consecutive frames at different exposures and then combines them into the camera to an image with greater dynamic range for production. Since the function is based on several source images, is used only for relatively static scenes. It also requires the use of a tripod, and therefore can not be used, handheld, because the micro-alignment of the Canon PowerShot G12 can not be the source of the images before the merger.

Availability for the Canon PowerShot G12 in the U.S. market began in early October 2010. The list price is about $ 500, the same as that of his predecessor.
