Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: Excellent Camera for Those that Know Photography
Summary: 5 Stars
If you know about ASA's (ISO), high color saturation/ B&W, Sepia, controlling your F-stop / shutter speed, you can read a light meter, AND YOU ARE ON A BUDGET, this is the item. Long back I learned on a Canon AE-1 and later an F-1 - both great cameras. In past years I have used the Powershot S50 and S70 (I actually think the S50 is the better camera). The G10 simply puts a lot more control into the photographer's hands all in a nice small package. I cannot spend $$$ on a camera, this is at the upper end if what I wanted to spend, and it is excellent. Of course on Auto - it takes superb pictures too. There are so many improvements over the S50/S70 I actually have fallen back in love with taking pictures... and my subjects too! Enjoy. (as I read this I wonder if people will think I am from Canon - I am not, and I am a pretty high spender on Amazon Prime too!).Customer Review: The best "little pro camera" ever made!

The 3" view screen is a photographer's dream! A Sharp lens with a zoom equal to 28mm to 140mm in 35mm. A focus diopter on the view finder, a hot shoe for "Professional flashes". (Use the canon 580exII flash with a Gary Fong Lumiousphere and your images will be stunning!) The dual dial on top of the G10 was made for a true photographer. One dial changes exposure modes(M,A,T,P and video plus 2 customes settings and the other quickly changes the ISO. I often change the ISO depending on the scene, it is just the quick turn of the dial instead of going through a menu. The images stabalation is "icing on the cake" and did I mention 14.7 megapixels gives you a 43mb file in 8 bit and 86mb file in 16 bit! Canon put absolutely everything in this camera, it is so much fun to shoot with and if your a pro wedding photographer, carry one in your pocket as a backup! It's that good!Customer Review: Excellent Small Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Canon G10 as a back-up to my Nikon DSLR, but the Canon takes such good pictures (while being small and light weight) that I have taken more pictures with it than with my Nikon since I purchased the Canon G10. I think that it is an excellent small camera. So far I haven't experienced any problems due to the high pixel count of the sensor, nor have I had any low light/high ISO noise problems so far. My only complaints are that the menus are a bit tedious and it's hard to find special functions and settings. Also, the camera doesn't focus if you press the 2-stage shutter button too fast. The camera has an awful lot of buttons on it and it's easy to push buttons when you don't intend to, especially if you have large hands or long fingers. You get used to most of these problems fairly quickly though, and/or learn to avoid them.Customer Review: Great camera for advanced point&shooter
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I bought this camera looking for better image quality than a supercompact digital can provide, but not wanting to spend DSLR prices. We also wanted something somewhat compact. We couldn't be happier. Great images, easy to use. The dial controls on the top remind me of my old Nikons. Feels well made and buttons all seem to be where you'd want them.
Very little shutter lag- already getting good shots of my really fast kids- and good image stabilization. Great photos- very sharp and well exposed.
Built in flash is very good, BUT I LOVE (!) THE HOTSHOE... I can use my old Metz flash to get a little distance. You would need to use a Canon digital-specific flash to use in automatic modes, but I'm an old manual shooter anyway.
Highly recommended if your situation is like ours... Just love this camera.
Customer Review: After False Start - Works Great

Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
I received the camera a few days before a trip to the Pacific Northwest and tested it out at home to make sure I was comfortable with the new features...I was finally upgrading from the original G1! The camera functioned well until the day fo the Father/Daughter dance when suddenly every shot looked like it was over-exposed! I tried everything and took it to a local camera shop where I was told that the camera had a defective sensor. I even called Canon and then i called Amazon and made arrangements for a replacement camera which happened without a hitch. The camera functions flawlessly and the movie mode is better than I thought it would be.
