To sum up, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G12 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon G12 will provide greater detail with its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger G12 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
