Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: HORRIBLE LOW LIGHT 1 Stars
DOES NOT LIVE UP TO HYPE AT ALL...so far.THIS IS A GREAT CAMERA... IF YOUR FAMILY VACATION PLANS ARE A TRIP TO THE CENTER OF THE SUN.......other than that it is a very very noisy low light camera.
So I agree with the other reviewer, if you are a bright light outside type, then get it,..... no problems there...nice!!!
If you bought into the low light DITCH-IT 4 processor hype, then it is a real let down.
My old 1 megapixel powershot (8 years old) did just as well, in the low light noise area...with zero image stabilization.
I will do some more tests, but so far this camera is a major let down.
Requires a lot of light, and looks like it has the RAW measles above ISO 200.
Honest, wait for more reviews to come in, by the way, I have a Rebel, an XTI, and an XSI as well. Also 4 other Canon Digitals, I am (was) a Canon fan, and thought this would be a breakthrough product...but it wasnt.
Simply cannot deliver on the hype.
Unless someone can get a better handle on the low light noise settings, it wouldnt take a Nostradamus to predict this camera will get yanked faster than the G9.
As usual if you try to compesate with one board flash, it has the Frankensteins lighted lightning labratory garish effect.
I dont really shoot JPEGS much so I dont know about those yet.
Pretty much shoot raw. XSI was less noisy in raw mode.
I really had hoped this would be the first practical digital do all art museum camera. I will try some more tests at the Detroit Art Institute on all types of light and media, but for now any hopes I might have had are shattered.
If you do have good indoor lighting at ISO 100 and 200 under good light the color is wonderful very nice pictures. In most museums they wont let you use flash, same with other artsy places. Wide angle is nice great museum camera from that perspective......but low light and Image stabilization are a must.....

This camera is awesome for what it is supposed to be; a compact camera with lots of power and versatility. Everyone loves my party pictures because they beat everyone elses compact cameras. Face detection is awesome. The camera really lets you be as creative as you want to be or it can do it all for you. It's idiot proof (my GF took it to france and did ok!) I just bought the underwater housing and that is gonna be so awesome.
My D300 is a lot better but i've been using it a lot less lately. I Try to keep the ISO on 80. It is noisy but high ISO pics i turn blk and white and they look great. Seriously its no big deal. Also i picked this over the lumix because the controls are easy to reach, really easy!
I gave it 1 star just to piss people off and to get attention on my review. =b (Haters feel free to hate.) My conclusion is that i like it a lot and you should try it out.
Customer Review: The G10 is a Canon blunder--here's why
Summary: 1 Stars
I have many Canon cameras--35mm film and DSLR models. I bought the G10 to give to someone. However, I soon learned that this model is flawed. It's a great camera for shots in perfect outdoor light situations, but when the ISO increases the images are the worst pixilated images I've seen. For example, at ISO 400 and minus 1 stop exposure, even RAW images aren't recoverable. At ISO 200 you'll have to work in Photoshop to get a good image.
Generally, photographers consider that the small sensors used in P&S cameras barely make the grade--they can't handle low-light and the on camera flash is an out of control light-source. The G10 goes a long way to prove how bad it can get with a P&S.
That said, the reason I purchased the G10 from Amazon is because of their no-hassle refund and I'm glad I did in this case.
Customer Review: use it for a while and the problems appear
Summary: 1 Stars
dust gets on the sensor and in the lens casing very quickly. don't take it anywhere the wind is blowing. and don't count on canon to repair it. not a problem with one, but many of these cameras. takes great pix though.
