  • "The lens is scratched because the cover rubs against it"

    Pros: Takes good photos before lens scratched.

    Cons: Lens scratches when opening and closing. Appears to be a somewhat common problem.

    Summary: Caution!

    Canon G-series. They scratch their own lenses.

    I love this camera. Lots of pro-level control, small enough to carry with me always. I agree with the many people who rank this one highly. That's why I bought it.

    Except for the fatal flaw, noted below.

    The lens cover blades scratch the lens. Incredible, but true. I compare with every G10, G11, and G12 owner I meet, and scratches such as mine are common.

    Canon won't acknowledge this, it appears.

    I like the camera for somany reasons. But if Canon won't fix this, it's not worth owning.

    I had the same problem with the G11. An awful pity for such an otherwise great camera. The lens eventually jammed on mine and wasn't worth the cost of repair. I was hoping the G12 wouldn't have the same problem! Too bad....
