Re: Comments on Canon's G12

[asharpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Well, I bought a used A590 about 1 year ago, and it's ok, but certainly
the noise is pretty bad above ISO 400. It does go to down to ISO 80,
though. And, I bought it for about $77 on ebay. As the G12 is about $400,
I would expect that it should perform at least 4 times as well as the 590.
And, the G12 shoots RAW, which I would have loved to have on the 590. But
for general usability, manual modes (which is why I bought it) and value,
the 590 is very good. I heard very good things about the G10 when it came
out; I'd be surprised if Canon made the G12 worse than the G10.

In short, it's probably a very good camera for what you are looking for,
as I would expect a $400 P&S to be.

Have you read the dpreview of it? They are usually quite complete in terms
of IQ and performance. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonG12/
