While mostly a minor update, there are some nice additions, starting with a front command dial, making the G12 a two dial camera, which is much faster to operate (incidentally like the recently announced lookalike <a href="http://www.digitalhomethoughts.com/news/show/100082/nikon-p7000-announced-previewed-by-digital-photography-review.html" target="_blank">Nikon P7000</a>). There's a new 2.8" HVGA LCD on a swivel arm, and the camera now records 720p videos at 24 FPS. Like all of Canon's new compacts, built-in HDR is available (shudder) The megapixel count and lens remain unchanged, at 10 megapixels with a 5x zoom lens at 28-140/2.8-4.5 equivalent. The camera will be available next month for US$499.</p><p><MORE /><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1284470835.usr15670.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p>
