The G12 was unveiled 4 years prior to the WB50F and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a comprehensive comparison, here is a short view of how the G12 scores versus the WB50F when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot G12 and Samsung WB50F. The full galleries are provided at Canon G12 Gallery and Samsung WB50F Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor its weight and proportions.

Generally, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by researching specifications. The photograph here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G12 and WB50F.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G12 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB50F will result in extra detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older G12 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
