Advanced amateur photographers are a discerning group, and theyve flocked to Canons G-Series for its
ability to meet and exceed their demands. The third-generation PowerShot G10 is a stunning successor,
loaded with uncompromising specs like 14.7 megapixels, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and Canons new
DIGIC 4 Image Processor for notably improved face and motion detection. This is a camera that supports
and nurtures creativity, with a full range of shooting and recording modes and compatibility with exciting
accessories including Speedlite flashes.

Great Camera

Great camera big improvement from the earlier Canon G series, and a strong contender to take use away from a DSLR.

I don't have much to say, the camera speaks for itself. For a point and shoot camera, this is the absolute best that you can get. Excellent Camera.

What The?!?!
»
I bought this camera based on the reviews, intending to use it as an everyday camera that would produce images that could easily be used for publication. I had the Canon G2 years ago, and actually shot a magazine assignment with it (using Safesync so I wouldn't blow up the camera with my strobe equipment). That job paid me 850.00, which paid for my G2 and hooked me on digital and the Canon G-series.
Although many reviews had reservations at the G10's noise level above base ISO, I couldn't ignore the superlatives being draped over the G10. I've been spoiled by the legendary 6mp Fuji Finepix F30, which, although no longer in production for a couple of years now, is still considered to be the litmus test for low noise images at relatively high ISO. There are many geeks out there comparing the Canon G10 and the Panasonic LX3 against the F30, and quite a few are saying that the F30 is still the champ.
I have to say the F30 would beat the G10 at higher ISO's like Pacman beat De La Hoya in that recent embarrassing title fight. When I tested the G10 at ASA 200 at the highest JPEG level, which I thought was a reasonable ISO, I was horrified by the noise. Blown highlights and purple fringing.
Disappointed, I quickly returned it. It might be great at base ISO, but when you pay nearly $500.00 for a camera, you shouldn't have to run ISO 200 images through a noise processor to come up with a usable image.

I've been into photography for more than 30 years and although I am not a professional, I do have some technical skill with the old SLRs. My first digital camera was a Nikon4300 which was the first generation of cameras of this type. It was an "ok" camera. Pictures came out decent but the lag time in between shots was annoying. It had "some" manual function which I liked but after 4 years of owning it I was ready to move up to something more similar to my old Minolta X700. So I decided to try this Canon and I'm not sorry I did. I've taken some great evening shots of NYC Times Square and I must say that they look fantastic!. I have pets and grandchildren who are always moving about and it's hard to get a great shot but this camera came through with flying colors! The auto focus and face detection is a life saver for sure. And it has all the manual controls I need to keep me busy with my creative side. All in all, this camera is a gem. It is "high end" for point and shoot and I'm just surprised that I paid the same amount for this camera as I did for the Nikon4300 (when it was new) but hey, that's technology for you.
