Are you using an external strobe?
I would make sure that it's set to record RAW files, as these are easier to correct the color, and to a lesser extent exposure, comparred with the jpeg-only files.
Your old picture files contain information on the settings used to take the picture, it called EXIF data. If you have a similar set of photos that turned out well, you should be able to get everything you need to know to set the G12 similar to those G10 settings. You can read this data in Canon's DPP software, and most other software. It's even displayed in flickr if you know where to look. If you can't figure out how to read the information, post a sample photo or two from your G10 and I'll tell you what it says (If someone else doesn't do it first.)

I have a G11. This is off the top of my head but here goes: my settings are ISO 100, RAW, Auto WB, and I generally go manual which means I set my own shutter and F stop. If you wish, you can run a shutter priority and set it for something rather benign like 1/100 of a second. You can look at your F stop and adjust the shutter to adjust the F stop.

Thanks Gilligan your web page tips were some I carried in my bag. Thanks everyone!!
My friend Stanley just held a class on using the Canon G11 & G12, and wrote an article about the experience along with some recommended settings here. It's along the line of what Pat said.
Gilligan's settings look spot on to me, although I didn't see the wide-angle with strobe settings on his page.
