Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: Great alternative to dSLR
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to take this while on vacation instead of my dSLR and lens. It proved a worthy alternative. I usually had the Canon on a wrist strap with lensmate hood or in Lowepro terracline 50 bag. Either way the camera was easily accessible for quick photos.
I mainly shot jpg+RAW and was pleased with the auto exposure. I often used the exposure compensation on left dial and quickly was able to judge exposures using the LCD monitor while adjusting. The multitude of shooting modes were not used except for the aquarium and night scenes. These produced excellent results.
The main difference that I noted with the Canon G10 and my dSLR is that because it is lighter and because of its image stabilization, I was able to take handheld night scenes with the shutter down to 1/16 and even 1/8 second.
Items that were more appreciated with use: the large bright LCD monitor (I might even get used to using instead of a viewfinder), the histogram function, the wide angle lens, and being able to compensate exposure while shooting and seeing results!!
Customer Review: 99.9% perfect!

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this remarkable camera? It is hands down the best point and shoot camera on the market today. I know many professional photographers that reach for this camera INSTEAD of the old professional standbys. You'd have to nit-pick to find something wrong with this camera. Canon did their homework well on the G10 and it looks like no doubt the up and coming G11 will be setting new standards. Lensmateonline has great adapters made specifically just for the G10. Without a doubt the G10 also has one of the best batteries that we've ever seen on a product like this, as it seems to last forever. If you're a professional, or just want the best point and shoot camera on the market, the Canon G10 will make you a happy camper! The video that this camera shoots is also quite remarkable. Google for the best price and you won't be sorry that you bought this camera. I take a LOT more pictures than I ever have before, and it's all because of how well made this camera is, and how well it does everything.Customer Review: G10 - Great quality photos
Summary: 5 Stars
I previously had owned a Canon PowerShot SD600 and was looking for something to upgrade to after my daughter was born. I was always happy with the SD600's quality, but was looking for more capabilties. I started looking at several DSLR's (Nikon D80/D90) but finally decided on the G10. I understand the G10 won't have the same quality as a DSLR, but I made the decision based on needing a camera that my wife can actually operate and the fact that the G10 is much more compact (i.e. I'll be more prone to bring it with me).
I have been very happy with the pictures I've taken so far with this camera. Most new cameras seem to come with face tracking and it works pretty well on this camera. It messes up if someone turns their head away and back, but I wouldn't expect a point and shoot to keep tracking when this happens. I like having the ability to select a specific ISO without having to go thru any menus. My wife still has blurry pictures sometimes, but most of them turn out nicely.
I'd highly recommend this camera.
Customer Review: Excelente !

Me costó decidir que tipo de cámara necesitaba. Estuve observando amigos fotógrafos con cámaras y lentes grandes; pero no me pude ver a mi mismo con un gran estuche lleno de lentes, filtros, baterías, cargador y otras cosas. Por eso busqué una cámara de alta calidad, muy inteligente, práctica y que la pudiera cargar durante 4 o 5 horas sin desear que pesara menos.
Esta cámara G10 de Canon cumple con todo lo que necesito para fotos en paseos, con mi familia, con un trípode, bajo el agua cuando buceo (con un estuche contra agua), para tomas de cerca.
Lo mejor : El tamaño cómodo y práctico con ese detalle de la alta definición que es excelente !
Lo neutral: Sus funciones "Scenic" que simplifican el trabajo
Lo no deseable: A mi gusto 5x no es suficiente, y con un lente de telefoto se pierde definición.
En resumen: La cámara me facilita disfrutar de la libertad que me gusta.
Customer Review: How can a point and shoot camera get better than this?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this camera for a few weeks now, and love it. I stepped up from the Canon SX100, and have found this camera to be worth the extra money. The auto mode works extraordinarily well. I was afraid that the G10 would be more complicated than I could handle, but I just use auto and experiment as I choose.
The video is remarkable. My camcorder ran out of room on the card, so I recorded a singer on the G10, and, all things considered, found the music very listenable. It is small, so I can carry it anywhere, in contrast to a larger DSLR. The images are sharp. Macro is fun to play with as well as the digital zoom. The SX100 had 10X zoom, and I did lose a little bit, but with a tripod, the G10 goes up to 20X, though the images are rarely useful....but sometimes it all comes together. The li-ion battery lasts forever, and I am sure the cost for a spare will come down. Not having to fiddle with a lens cover is great. All in all, a great investment in fun. Hugh
