If you don’t own a G-series camera already, then the G12 is a great camera to start with due to its functionality which is hard to beat. However, as someone that owns a G11, I see no need to upgrade at this time due to the limited improvements between the two. I am still looking for a 1080P video mode that is actually usable and not just an add on feature that doesn’t work very well regarding zoom, etc. I do like some of the added features of the G12.
But if Canon wants to keep up with the competition, the next G-series camera better take a larger leap in improvements and not just a few tweaks. They’re recycling the lens and they shouldn’t have. The G12 should have had a higher quality (optically) F2.0 lens to better compete and be a real “upgrade” from the previous model. The swivel LCD and added video mode are fine, but they’ve fallen into the same habit most makers do these days where each incarnation of a camera is just a slight upgrade of a feature or two instead of a truly updated model …..

Nikon Coolpix P7000 Real Canon G-Type Competitor
October 9th, 2010I’ve been a Nikon SLR/DSRL shooter for my entire professional career (25+years), but I’ve also been a fan of the Canon G series digital cameras, having owned a G2, G5, G9 and most recently a G11. Nikon just didn’t make a compact camera that appealed to me until the Nikon P7000. Nikon P7000 is a great effort for first attempt to make a Canon G-type competitor.
The Good:
The color is spot-on under very challenging conditions. The images are rich, detailed and the noise levels are very good for a compact camera. The ergonomics are fantastic, I used to accidentally press buttons on the back of the Canon G11 with my right thumb, the P7000 has a rubber thumb rest and finger grip on the body, making it very comfortable to use. The multi-function dial allows for easy access to settings like ISO, WB, Image Quality, Bracketing and other settings.
I like the pop up/push down flash, rather than having to navigate a menu to turn flash on and off. The camera works great with Nikon SB800 and SB900 strobes as well as the SU800 remote commander and of course Nikon TTL cords. I’ve successfully synced a SB900 strobe via Pocket Wizards at manual shutter speeds up to 1/1000, I like the semi-automatic ISO which can be set to use 100-200, 100-200-400. Very handy feature. In program mode, the camera will drop the shutter speed all the way down to 1/30 with flash without having to go into night portrait mode ….

Nikon D7000 vs. Canon 60D
October 4th, 2010I first saw the Nikon D7000 I was thinking like everybody else was, this camera has a lot of good stuff. But when I really looked closely, well I did not see much different than the 60D at all. Could somebody shine some light on this for me to show me what are the real huge differences?
Now when I look down this list comparing. I really do not see a huge difference. They both have different strong points which do not directly compete with each other. It seems the Nikon is a hair better for maybe sports shooting (though Canon never focused on having as many AF points as Nikon, though in this case they have the same number of cross type AF points) and the Canon is a slight bit better for movie shooting.
The Nikon is strutting a magnesium body which is know is like flashing a gold bracelet to a silver one, but in all practical purposes, they weigh about the same with the Nikon being like a 0.1 lbs more and the Canon being slightly bigger in the hand (by its dimensions) … Nikon D7000 vs. Canon 60D full article.
