The PowerShot G12 is an intelligent, compact camera which not only gives you full manual control but also aperture and shutter priority - making it the perfect model if you're after the precision and flexibility of an SLR in a more compact design. It features a 5x wide angle (28mm) zoom with optical Image Stabilizer and ground- breaking Hybrid IS technology for significant blur-reduction - so you can shoot at longer focal lengths and in lower light conditions without the need for a tripod.
