Canon PowerShot G12
The Canon PowerShot G12 is a compact digital camera from Canon's enthusiast-oriented G-series, introduced in 2010. It pairs a fixed zoom lens with a tilting rear LCD and an optical viewfinder, positioned when new as a high-end compact for photographers wanting manual control in a pocketable body.
At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the PowerShot G12 have spanned roughly £45 to £180, with only a small number of recorded sales making any single figure indicative rather than definitive. As of 2026, what a G12 is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on whether the camera is offered with its original battery, charger and working LCD, and clean, complete examples sit toward the upper end of that range while untested or cosmetically tired bodies sell for much less.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
