Hello there,
Anyone can recommend a good compact camera for mountaineering? I was comparing the Canon SX 30i with the Canon G 12, any suggestions? the budget is 400 - 500.
Regards,
JP

That said, the Canon S95 is also very good (some would argue as good as the LX-5) and is much much smaller. The S-95 will fit easily into even a small pocket, while the LX-5 requires a large pocket to fit.
I would recommend either the s95 or the LX-5 over the G12. G12 is much bulkier, and that bulk doesn't really get you any additional image quality.

I pretty much agree with you Kai except I would add that the buttons on the S95 are incredibly small and hard to operate with gloves.
