Still playing with the G12 and have a few things to share with you. I am very pleased with image quality, colors, sharpness and the noise (under 800). Love the small size and find it so much less intrusive when people see it. I really have struggled with the ergonomics and controls. It’s a far cry from the SLRs I’ve been using for the past few years. Over time I will be able to know the camera better and be able to change settings quicker than I do now. I hardly use the viewfinder, finding the LCD display to be the better solution for me. Seeing the histogram before taking an image is helpful. The above image was taken out at the Arapahoe Nature Area. Just across from this nature area is an old abandoned farm with a barn, couple of silos and some corrals. I knelt down low and placed the early evening sun between the silos and used the widest aperture the camera has: f8.0. I don’t think the lens did too bad a job with a starburst.
