'The G12, which updates the acclaimed G11, is an option for those who want better pictures and better features than a less well specified compact will deliver, but don't actually want to go the whole hog and plump for a DSLR.'
'the camera is replete with advanced shooting features.'
'The LZ's pack a lot into a relatively compact package'
'the images were a little on the dark side and a little soft in some areas'
'Unfortunately, this camera's motion-picture features are particularly anemic: there's no microphone for recording audio, and resolution is limited to 320x240 pixels at 10fps or 30fps'
'flash coverage wasn't great, with significant edge falloff'
