Canon Powershot G12

I am a makeup artist as well as an artist in quite a few other media. One of the things that many of us artists like to do is snap photos of our makeup to give others a chance to look at what we did and possibly inspire or get constructive criticism.

Well, let me tell you, I was so upset about this secret case of rosacea that I began to stare at myself in the mirror a lot. I mean, when I looked in the mirror, it was not there, but when snapping with my camera on certain days- it was not pretty at all. I looked like I was having a hot flash on a 100 degree tropical day!

Finally when my beloved Kodak Easyshare Z730 fell out of my hands and broke, I had to get another camera. Don't get me wrong- the Kodak took impeccable photos many times, especially outdoors. I constantly got comments on how amazing my outdoor photos looked. As a makeup artist, it just was not flattering me when I needed it most!

Now, before you continue on in this review, please note that I am not a photographer of a professional level. I do not understand many of the adjustments and terminology of cameras, so this review is not going to be overly technical. I am very particular with what I want my camera to do, however, and that is something you might find useful if you are a casual to semi serious user.

TOP MARKS FOR THIS CAMERA.

I HAD BEEN LOOKING FAT THIS WITH OTHER WEBSITES AND THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST PRICED OUT OF ALL OF THEM..

I have owned the Canon Powershot G12 for about a month now, and i LOVE it. I was hesitant about spending so much money on a camera,however i am really pleased i chose this one. I wanted one that would give me really high quality images, without being too complicated to operate. I am no seasoned photographer, and i havent figured out most of the setting yet, but if the pictures i get from simply pointing and shooting are anything to go by, i cant wait to learn. I was also concerned about the size, however it is not as big as i anticipated (especially if you get a slim case as opposed to bulky) and you soon get used to the size. It is not particularly heavy either (lighter than the G11 i believe) but built like a tank. I have no concerns over the durability. I will update my review once i have learnt a bit more, but for now i couldnt be happier with it.
