If money is an issue but you are interested in high quality results
you would have been far better of with a used DSLR, rather than a G12.
These cameras are just fine for anyone with limited photographic
ambitions, but the fact that you cannot change the lens, means they
are far from ideal for more serious photography.

I thought a lot about a second hand DSLR camera but firstly I'm not an
ambitious photographer, I simply want to be able to take some decent
shots of little critters in the garden and suchlike plus decent
holiday photos (I wanted a viewfinder for long distance stuff as I've
never been able to see the LCD screen in the sun on any camera I've
had). Every DSLR camera I saw was really too bulky. Secondly, whilst
I'm not against second hand per se, I was uncomfortable with going
"used" on technology that I wasn't familiar with. I'd never know
whether the bad shot was down to a faulty camera or my lack of
knowledge about settings. The G12 was relatively simple when demo'd in
the store.
