RIP G12
Farewell my beloved G12! You served me well. Although, I'm a little disappointed our contract lasted only for two years. I regret treating you too harshly, why I already once had to get you cleaned at the camera repairs shop. And now you finally stopped working entirely, supposedly because one of your electric cables broke out of heavy use. I'm sorry but I can't afford to keep you alive any longer =(

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to .t.a.o.n.I'm almost sure your problem is with the counter.
Once it hits a certain amount of pictures the camera ceases.
You have to send it to get rolled back.
(it's crazy right?)
I've done this twice with my G11 and I have to do it again.
I'll find the address (it's in Texas) and post it.
They are much cheaper than sending it to Canon.

What exactly causes this issue on Canon G12 is very likely the same what happened to my friend Wertti (Ipernity account name 'wierd'). There is sort of a manufacture error on some G series cameras. The cable that goes to lens/zoom motor is very very thin, and lens barrel edges are sharp, and therefore by the time the lens barrel edge will just cut that thin cable.
And we do have camera repairs shops even here in Tampere, FInland ;-) As I said in the caption, I already had to get the camera cleaned last summer. It cost me around 200 euros. Moreover, the "camera smith" told me about the possible lens error when I asked about it. He said it will be also rather expensive to fix it.
I could of course take my camera to this local camera smith, but even diagnose will cost something, just as would if I post it somewhere else, even abroad. EDIT: Just called to service, and diagnose will cost 45 euros.
Nevertheless, thank you for the advice =) If you still think that is the reason, then maybe this local guy can fix that as well.
%name% has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… clubif this is a problem with the G12 I may not purchase one in the future.
I think of all of the G series the G9 was the most durable.
I carried that thing in my coat pocket everywhere I went.
The reason I suggested this place in Texas is that they specialize in the G series.
I'm sure Finland has excellent photo shops. : )
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to %name%Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Wierd Folkersma clubThat is 2013 model, and no idea if they will continue that line, but currently it is somewhat only G12 like "compact camera" with fully rotating display.
