Digital camera reviews of Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Canon G10
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very pleased with this camera, great zoom, and relatively easy to use. I am not a photographer, so have not used a lot of the features. My goal was to have a small size camera to carry on my hike to Machu Picchu, Peru, but one that would take great shots, at 14.7 mp, it's hard to beat. SLR cameras may have been better, but much to much to carry on the trail. The camera is relatively light, fits in a fanny pack easily.Digital camera Review: Canon G10
Summary: 4 Stars
The camera takes great photos and seems to be very well built. That being said, it is a fairly heavy and not really a pocket camera. It takes great pictures, allowing all the same control as a DSLR at a fraction of the size and expense. I do wish it took HD video, but this is a feature I can live without. The menus and dials are nicely designed. I don't feel like I will out-grow this camera and think it's durability will last for many years to come.Digital camera Review: Canon G10 - Good product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have it for a few months. My previous one was the G3 and I also have a EOS.
The G10 is great for a camera in its level. It gives you full control when you want it or full automation.
Size is small compared to performance. I was hesitating between this and the thin Sony cameras since I wanted a small camera that is easy to carry when I don't want to carry a big SLR. Eventually I decided to go for this and I'm happy I did. I even took it instead of an SLR for a 3 week vacation I was on just now and pictures are good.
It does take a bit of time between one picture to the other but this is the price of using this type of camera and not SLR.
Battery life is really great. I kind of forget I need to charge it once in a while.
I recommend this product.
Digital camera Review: Canon G10 - Just What I Was Looking For
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned nothing but Canon's for years and have a Rebel as well as a number of the pocket point and shoots Canon makes. The G10 is the best of both. Compact yet with all of the controls that I need and want. The pictures are very sharp and yet the camera will still fit a big pocket.
Great product by Canon
Digital camera Review: Canon G10 Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera has all the benefits of a point-and-shoot and many of the functions you expect from an SLR. I took it on an extended trip for it's/my test run and used it in a multitude of conditions. It's a bit heavier than most p-and-s cameras but the improved features for manual operation are handsome and laid out more like a film camera. They make sense and feel good.
Canon's great lenses have never disappointed me. I got beautiful pictures in daylight conditions and was especially impressed by the macro shots. In low light, auto focus is somewhat compromised and there is still a fair amount of noise (though certainly less than previous Canon point-and-shoots, i.e.Canon PowerShot SD950IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 3.7x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Titanium))The lag time associated with all p-and-s cameras is a factor with the G10 as well. It's minimal but it really counts when you're taking pictures of a moving target.
I still don't feel I can leave my SLR at home but this camera is a good attempt to close in on a more portable fun camera for perfectionists.
