We bought the Canon G12 camera recently for my wife to use. She's not in favor of having to mess with a lot of complex camera controls, but at the same time we wanted a camera with a lot more capability than the little simply pocket cameras can offer. Additionally, we wanted something which has an available water proof housing which would allow the camera to be used for water sports activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, white water rafting and more. Canon offers a perfect housing for the G12 camera which allows full access to all of the camera controls.

Camera Lens Comments and Reviews

The choice of any lens must be made on the basis of what you need the lens to do. You should not buy any extra lens until you know that you have a need for that lens and understand how that lens is going to meet your photography needs.

You must have at least one lens. That's so obvious that it hardly warrants mention but I do so because you have a choice of what that lens will be. You may have a lens which came with your SLR camera or you may have bought the lens separate from the camera. If you are using a compact point and shoot camera or any other camera which is equipped with a non-replaceable lens, this information will not apply to your camera. Single Lens Reflex cameras do have replaceable lenses and here is where you have the choice of what lens to use as well as how many lenses to use.
