Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: Totally Stoked!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been searching for the right camera that was small yet gave me all I wanted. I've owned 4 digital cameras, so I knew what I wanted and what I didn't. I wanted a compact that would give me everything an SLR could, yet smaller. The Canon G-10 gave me everything I wanted and so much more. You only have to read the reviews here on Amazon or anywhere else for that matter. In my case, I'm dyslexic so I needed a "hands on" source for viewing the cameras operation. This was handled by a great series tutorial on youtube. Almost everything I wanted to know I could find on youtube or just in the process of using the camera. The pictures I've taken have been awesome. The only thing that takes a little getting used to is the weight of the camera. If you're used to lugging around an SLR you know what I mean, but with the G-10 you'll only have some of the weight but none of the bulk. Outside of that, I'm completely stoked.
Customer Review: Great and fun to use camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed to have a good camera as a backup to an SLR and something I could shoot the occasional video with. This is a go everywhere camera for me that allows for many more shooting opportunities than my SLR. After quite a bit of research I selected the G10. In the few weeks that I have had it I have shot about 3.5k pictures and about 50 short videos. The results are fantastic. The colors a vibrant, the sharpness is great, the flexibility (for me) in the small size makes for some new shooting angles which is quite fun.
Of note, this camera for me, is not suitable for fast action shooting, it requires a bit of planning to capture good quality shots because of a small shutter lag. Once I got used to the lag I was able to capture some quality action shots but it is more of a hit and miss affair for me than an actual repeatable occurrence.
I am really pleased with my choice and use it every day.
Customer Review: Great camera no matter what!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was hoping to find a camera that felt like a camera, handled more like a digital SLR, but was still highly portable. I researched and researched several and kept coming back to the G10. I read reviews from every camera rating service I could find and then I read the reviews by the typical user. I took this very seriously having already purchased two pocket-sized digitals which were "okay," but not what I wanted and in my job I have experience with the Nikon D70, D90, and D40 and didn't want a full-sized DSLR. In the end, I decided that even if the camera produced "noise" above ISO 200--it was the camera for me. So, I plucked down my credit card to Amazon and ordered last week. It came a few days later and this weekend I got to spend several hours snapping away. I will say I am SOLD on this camera. While I'm not a professional, I do quite a bit of photography as part of my job. I made the right choice. Thanks Canon.Customer Review: Best All Around Compact Today!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi everyone... I am a travel photographer and generally shoot Nikon SLRs; however, they have not caught up in image quality in this area (compacts p6000) yet.
I originally bought the LX-3 by panasonic withe the Leica 2.0-2.8 glass; and what they say is true, it is better in low-light. But mainly only because of it's faster aperture; if you were to compare the two at ... say iso 400 at 5.6.. the g10 wins. I also didn't like the 35mm equiv of 24-60 on the lx-3, so I brought it back and got the G10.
The G10 is much more versatile with better controls and ergonomics. I didn't care for the lx-3 having a lens cap either!! The G10 also has exceptional image quality for a sensor of this size. Basically if you want the BEST all around compact get the G10; however, if you are really into landscapes and shooting with available light indoors then take a look at the lx-3.
Customer Review: Replaced my Leica CL
Summary: 5 Stars
Though there are limits to this camera they are not in any way shot stoppers for most photographers. A little wide angle chromatic aberration - easily fixed in post, some sensor overload (blue halo) if used in blown out contrasty situations, and poor noise performance at mid/high ISOs. The last you know about, the first two you may expect. That's it. After that it's all just good to great. Very useful and smart electronic features, great body design with an extremely solid quality feel, well thought out ergonomics, a BIG bright screen, and a really sharp lens that captures more than enough to make me go wow! It is my new Leica CL so to speak, and a very welcome replacement at that. RAW is great and the JPGs are too. A fifteen dollar eight gig card stores about 350 of one of each. Fun shooting is fun again.
Perfect? No, but for the money spent vs. quality obtained close enough.
