The Canon G12 is a handy little camera. I was in Papua New Guinea last week and had to use to take video after my Sony EX-1 malfunctioned. The video quality looks all right, but a shallower depth of field like what you see with DSLR video would be nice. You can't zoom while recording video and the auto-irsis can be annoying as well. I've heard it can be controlled manually with the scroll-wheel.
@dfnq8 She would not know. Simply Electronics is based on Hong Kong and has non-existent support (which is why I don't buy from them). Sophie was recruited for these videos because of her british accent and can read the facts from the autocue.
While I think nothing compares to a DSLR.. I think you might be missing the point of this camera and its still significantly less than an SLR. The expensive thing about an SLR is the lens you have to buy for it. With all those lens taken into the equation, it becomes unwieldy to lug around for point and shoot purposes. Your picture taking has to be very deliberate with an SLR. This camera is like the compromise between a standard point/shoot and SLR.
also no internal memory and there is a hideous shadow whenever you take macro shots with flash...again after less than a month of owning this camera brand new I am sending back to Canon because it freezes
This camera is a tragic waste of potential for a variety of reasons too long for listing here. The viewfinder has been mentioned already. It is worse than you might imagine. The zoom range of 28-140 is too limiting considering the competition. The aperature only opens to 2.8. And 28mm is the widest angle available. I truly want a camera in the category the G12 sits in with regard to size and construction quality, though one done right. Still waiting for some company to take my money.

This camera looks really cool, but if I was going to spent that much money, I would just spend a little more and get a DSLR

If the "viewfinder" is like the G11's, it's much more of gimmick than a serious feature in my opinion, which is a shame.
