The new Canon PowerShot G12, successor to the PowerShot G11 released in October 2009, incorporates the HS System, which combines a 10.0-megapixel high-sensitivity CCD sensor and Canon's high-performance DIGIC 4 image processor, to enable the capturing of beautiful images with reduced noise even in low-light conditions. This technology allows users to take clear, blur-free photos that capture the moment, even when shooting night scenes or in indoor settings, without the need to use a flash or tripod. In addition, a revised noise-reduction technology algorithm delivers improved resolution quality during high-sensitivity shooting.
