Yes Paul. Due to their lenses they need a long eye relief eyepiece to have a hope of unvignetted views eg Kowa 25x LER Eyepiece.
They are both very good and I like having the rotatable screen with the G12 but I prefer the video of the P7000/7100.
There are some threads on the G12 and the P7000 ( same lens as P7100).
Neil.

Cheers
