Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica D-Lux 6 is significantly lighter (103g ) than the Canon G12 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica D-Lux 6 nor Canon PowerShot G12 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
