I just ordered one. It's used but in relatively good condition from an ebay user. I am really excited to have something a little better than my SD1300.
If you have one, could you post pictures? I'll probably follow you to learn some tricks
I have one which I use when I don't want to lug my DSLR around with me. It tends to be quite often in winter!! Here are a few of my pics from my G12 (which I love by the way :))
I have a G10, which I mainly use underwater.
Not sure what they've changed in the meantime, but I've been very happy with it. Bought because I wanted a small travel camera that could shoot RAW.
My shots are very eclectic. I had a Canon A640 with variable screen before and loved it so got the G12. Almost a year and 15 000 shots later, I'm still learning all the things I can do with it. ENJOY yours!
I have the G12 and I love it.
I'm thinking about buying my very first dslr, probably after I complete my 365, but I'll keep my G12 and will still using alot.

@kiwichick@alia_801@woot@kbradbury@lilbudhha@carli2012 I have a question. If I just want to take pictures of me and my friends, which is the best setting? Obviously there's portrait. But is there something better? That makes people look more.... vivid, I guess?
I generally just use the normal settings. There is a 'blink' mode which I've never tried, I guess it depends on the light, distance, colours etc as to what would work best... (not that I know the first thing about photographing people!)
The modes on the dial are about aperture and shutter speed, not colour saturation. If I want to enhance the colours, I do that on the computer. Not sure if there is a setting for this on the camera.
There is a vivid colour setting I think but I usually shoot in manual so I'm not sure. I sometimes use other settings, have tried the fish eye, tilt shift, low light etc. Have a look at the manual (or look online for instructions) and just have a play. I'm still figuring mine out too. There are a lot of cool features (blink and smile mode for self portraits) that I haven't even tried yet. @alia_801@lilbudhha
The vivid setting you get to by pressing 'Func Set', then selecting the second thing down the list (little paint tube), and the 'v' option. There's also neutral (the opposite), sepia, B&W,Positive (film-like - this might be what you want?), Lighter and darker skin tone, blue, green and red emphasis modes and a custom option. (I've only used V and G - the rest I do in the computer).
The SCN option on the top wheel gives you a few other options - I've never tried face select, but that might be useful?

On this one, I used a macro accessory lens.
