The PowerShot G10 is the 8th generation of Canon's lovely G-series PowerShot cameras, and is a great choice for any user wanting superior control in a point and shoot that stands out as much for its styling as for its images.  The G10 has dials which change the exposure mode, exposure compensation, and ISO setting, as well as a Canon 'quick control' dial on the rear which mimics the familial control of the EOS SLR cameras.  These traits are certainly unusual in the point and shoot world.  And at less than 2" thick (46mm) and weighing about 12 ounces (350g), it is a camera to take on a long journey without fanfare.

Responsive, stylish, and capable of great imagery, the PowerShot G10 is an excellent 'bridge' between the best of SLRs and point and shoots.

14.7 Megapixel Resolution
The camera's full 14.7 megapixels of resolution creates stunning, deeply detailed images that allow virtually unlimited enlargement and cropping.
5x Wide-angle Optical Zoom Lens
The PowerShot G10 has a 5x Wide-angle zoom lens that gets you right into the action with an equivalent zoom range of 28-140mm. The lens incorporates Canon's sophisticated optic technology to achieve consistent brightness and clarity throughout the zoom range, while precision engineered lenses reduce and correct aberrations, and Canon's SR coating technology virtually eliminates ghosting.
Optical Image Stabilizer Technology
The PowerShot G10 achieves excellent-quality images in situations prone to camera shake and image blurring - thanks to Canon's exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer. Whether you're shooting outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, or at the end of the zoom range, camera shake is detected and effectively canceled by the Optical Image Stabilizer system.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
The DIGIC 4 Image Processor delivers superior image quality, ultra-responsive performance and extended battery life, and also empowers Canon's Face Detection AF/AE, which finds all the faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, while exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, and eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces. In addition, the PowerShot G10 incorporates iSAPS Technology which is an entirely original scene-recognition technology. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Wide Range of Shooting Modes
A wide range of Shooting Modes help deliver excellent results in almost any situation. Preset Special Scene modes assist with picture taking in tricky lighting conditions, including Indoor, Beach and Snow, Aquarium, Night Scene, and more. For creative experimentation, Color Accent and Color Swap modes enable dramatic color effects to be applied to images and movies direct from the camera - you can keep one color and change the rest to black and white with Color Accent, or exchange one color for another with Color Swap. The cameras also feature My Colors photo effects for additional in-camera color customization.
Intelligent Contrast Correction
The i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction) system incorporated into the G10 effectively brightens dark areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark, and more natural transition. Users can even apply the i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were shot without the setting activated.
Advanced Shooting for More Creative Control
In addition to Auto Exposure and the preset Shooting Modes, the PowerShot G10 provides advanced exposure control features for greater creative expression. In addition to Program (P), Aperture-priority (Av), and Shutter-priority (Tv) modes, the Manual (M) provides the ultimate in creative control, where you set ISO speed, exposure compensation and white balance. In addition, a Custom (C) mode lets you define and store your own settings to achieve the effects you prefer, and Stitch Assist lets you build awe-inspiring panoramas by neatly aligning sequential images.
RAW File Mode for the Ultimate in Creative Control
The RAW Mode lets you shoot images without image loss due to JPEG compression so your images are clearer and you'll have more complete creative control when editing. The camera can also be set to allow the simultaneous recording of both RAW and JPEG images while shooting.
High ISO Sensitivity
The PowerShot G10 features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.
Movie Recording
The PowerShot G10 allows you to record broadcast quality VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) with frame rate of 30 fps for recording up to 1 hour or 4GB. With the highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that's perfect for any application.
Large 3.0-inch LCD Monitor with Wide Viewing Angle
The 3.0-inch LCD monitor gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high-resolution PureColor LCD II offers a crisp, clear picture with more spectacular color, resolution and contrast, even when viewing at an angle. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light, and the screen is highly durable with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating.
Compatible with Auxiliary Lenses and EOS Speedlite Flashes
The PowerShot G10 is compatible with many shooting accessories, not only wide and telephoto converter lenses, a waterproof case and High-Power Flash designed for all of the PowerShot models, but it is also compatible with Speedlite EX series Flash Units. By using Speedlites, the G10 is able to have extra functions such as autoflash metering, FE lock and Flash exposure compensation, continuous shooting with external flash and more.
Flexible Direct Printing Options
The Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the camera to a Canon Direct Photo Printer or PictBridge supported printer, press the Print/Share button and print. The Direct Print feature allows for image preview and editing (including cropping) on the camera when connected to a compatible printer. Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images directly to a computer (Windows).
Stylish, Retro Design
The appearance of the PowerShot G10 harkens back to a classic rangefinder camera, with its ergonomic design and analogue inspired controls, a multi-control dial and a customizable shortcut button for faster access to camera settings.

I brought this camera after a recent trip to the snow and found my Olympus U725SW seriously lacking through the lack of a viewfinder. I didn't want to lug around an SLR, so had to squint and cross my fingers while trying to frame up the shots.
When I first picked up the Canon G10 I was amazed at how heavy it felt. Not like a brick, but solid. This is one serious camera. The finish is excellent and it is well balanced in the hands. My wife picked it up and said "Wow! Can I have this camera?" She was particularly impressed when I plugged it into my Canon printer and produced a high quality print straight from the camera, shot in RAW. I know this is not new, but it is the first time I felt that this function is relevant. Shooting with a DSLR. the images are shot with a purpose or image in mind, so adjustments in Lightroom and Photoshop are almost mandatory. Shooting with the G10 is fun and spontaneous, which are the images most suited for adding to the photo album.
I haven't had a chance to put the camera through its paces yet, and I am still waiting to try out some of the new functions, particularly the i-Contrast. What I do like is that this camera is just like picking up a Canon DSLR. The menu, controls and functions are almost identical. It was a very comfortable feeling to grab the camera and almost instinctively know how it all worked. The screen size is huge, and the information it displays is complete, without taking over the screen. The display showing the aperture and shutter adjustments pure genius.
What I like most about this camera is that I now have a professionally built compact with a great zoom range, RAW, and heaps of Mpx that I can take almost anywhere. It fills the space between my wonderful little underwater Olympus and my superb but bulky DSLR's. Not only that, but with all of the Auto settings, it is a camera my wife and kids can use as a point and press. (The first time I haven't been grilled over a camera purchase)! Watching the green square on the screen that follows the faces around to focus is amazing, and the green beam that is emitted to pre focus with the flash is like something out of GhostBusters!
I'm looking forward to trying out all of the other myriad of features, such as the movie mode, custom settings and the self timer for group shots. For the life of me though, I can't ever see myself coupling up my twin flash macro system.
I'm pleased to say that this camera has lived up to my expectations, and apart from the lack of a CMOS sensor, I can't foresee any reason to upgrade for many years to come. This is a beautiful piece of gear and is well worth the money.

I have three other Canon cameras: a 30D, a 50D and a 5D Mark II, and I bought this camera to have something I could carry easily in my pocket. The G10 is well-built, flexible, and has a good lens. It should be top-flight point-and-shoot. However, it takes great pictures at ISO 80 or 100 but digital noise begins to become noticeable even at ISO 200. The 25.3 Mpx/cm2 pixel density of its small sensor is the problem. I wish Canon had resisted the marketing appeal of more megapixels and instead concentrated on image quality at higher ISOs so that this camera would be more useful in low-light situations. I had also hoped to use the G-10 (and the LA-DC58K lens adapter) for digiscoping with a Swarovski scope but discovered that it would not work because of severe vignetting when coupled to the scope. Eventually I decided to return the camera.

Best Camera of this class Canon has made. Outstanding features, rugged, good battery life. Acceptable noise even at 3200. Every serious photographer should have one of these in his bag, for ease, back-up, and convenient shooting.

    i wanted to step up from my past point-and-shoots. this G10 gives you a lot of control of your image, or simply place in auto mode and let the chip decide.
    the case is metal and is rock solid. controls are also tight.

    Comments about Canon PowerShot G10 Digital Camera (Black):

    I purchased this camera for use on business trips and for other times when using a larger film or digital camera was inconvenient.

    Image quality is very good at the base ISO but degrades quickly at higher settings.

    The controls are well placed although the menu structure is a bit complicated.

    The camera seems to be very well made and robust but I've only tested it briefly.

    All in all, it seems to be a good choice for the intended purpose.

    Comments about Canon PowerShot G10 Digital Camera (Black):

    This is my second G10 -- quickly replaced it after original was stolen (along with my Nikon DSLR) by a thug in Denver.
    Powerful camera in a compact package.
    Durable, solid build. I've taken the G10 with me on trips to the Dominican Republic, Iraq, and Korea, and used it as a backup at Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
    It's bigger than many point and shoots, and doesn't easily fit into a shirt pocket. But, it has great battery life, excellent image quality, OK (not great) low light performance, and is a perfect all-around travel camera.

      Comments about Canon PowerShot G10 Digital Camera (Black):

      This camera is outstanding. I love the ability to carry something smaller than my Nikon D300 and still work with RAW files. The wide angle and telephoto is sufficient for all my point & shoot needs. Plus the availability of a waterproof housing made by Canon specifically for this camera was the straw that said I needed this camera. I struggled over this model or the new G-11. This won out. I saved the extra 4 megapixels at the minor expense of a little more digital noise when used at higher ISO's. Not worth the loss in my opinion and professional reviews have since convinced me that was the right decision. I also added the Canon 270EX flash and that corrects the weak flash output that all point & shoot cameras have.

        Comments about Canon PowerShot G10 Digital Camera (Black):

        This is my first 'own' camera, but have been taking many many photos with friends/ families cameras for years before. I wanted, and still do, a DSLR, but decided to go with a little less mainly because of costs. After much research this is what i came up with, for a camera with similar DSLR power, w/o expensive interchangeable lenses. I am extremely happy with this camera. It is small enough to bring along anywhere, yet large enough for that substantial, confident feel. Low light is slightly lacking, with a little more noise in higher iso than I like to see.

        I have only shot about 10 out of 700 pictures in auto, and I love the ease of changing settings in manual mode (with the scroll wheel and easy navigation) compared to with many compact digitals with annoying menus set up mainly for the "auto" user.

        The colors and quality of the images are amazing!! I havent shot as many action shots as I would have liked to yet, but the scenic pics from fall time have been amazing.

        The std. wide angle on the camera is great when shooting in tight spaces. I plan to get the tele converter later down the road for outdoors. The std tele is ok, and the digital zoom clears up wonderfully, but I do find that in some instances I wish it had more tele, mainly when shooting RAW and dont have the digital zoom back up.

        Very solid build and construction, I am extremely protective of my gear, and I like not having to worry about every time I set it down. The strap slot should be bigger to accommodate different strap clips.

        When I was looking for a small camera for our radio news department, (news images for website) I wanted a high quality camera with options for myself as a pro and also be usable for amateurs.
        I contacted a former colleague who is a longtime photojournalist and recent winner of the Pulitzer Prize. He said that all the pros he knows carry the Canon PowerShot G10 when they want to make high quality images but don't want to lug around a lot of gear. That was all I needed to hear. I've been using it for 2 weeks and it's a great piece of equipment, very solid feel and great design.

            Comments about Canon PowerShot G10 Digital Camera (Black):

            Quick access to all the 'mechanic' functions, like shutter and Iso, but the features on the dispaly are not immediately available. The flash works very well even in outdoor. The zoom is good and the 28mm wideangle allows almost perfect panoramas. The 14,7 mp sensor is great, but the camera is pretty heavy.

              I bought this for my wife (well, and a bit for me :)) and she loves it. It's definitely got a bit of a learning curve for her as she would like to learn the manual settings, but for those times she just wants to shoot photos - the green AUTO setting is there.

              Photos turn out well and it's quite the step up from the old Nikon Cool pics. Turns on and it ready to shoot in seconds, and very little wait time for the next shot (one of her biggest gripes about the old p&s). We've yet to really take it out, most shots just shooting around in the yard, but thus far it's a great camera.

              A touch bigger than a lot of p&s, but the weight is nice and it feels a bit more 'professional'. Controls are great, easy to access and quick selections with the jog wheel and quite intuitive.

              Would recommend to anyone in the market for a great point and shoot.

                Raw files. This is big for me as a stock shooter.
                Easy to change ASA settings. Easy to change exposure and see the effects. Not menu driven. Real knobs that turn and give you what you want. A very professional camera in a small footprint

                      I'm not a professional photographer, but I am an artist and graphic designer by trade. I wanted a camera I could use both professionally for projects and to take quality personal snaps. This camera is the juice. Easy to travel with. Can carry in a coat pocket (too big for pants pocket) and included shoulder strap is a nice bonus.
                      Picture quality is high and settings seem vastly adjustable. Built like a tank.

                        I am an amateur photographer who recently broke my point-and-shoot. I was looking to upgrade, but could not afford to get into the DSLR "game." I solicited advice from three good friends, all of whom are professional photographers. The first recommendation given by all three was "Canon G10". It has proven to be a perfect median between point-and-shoot & DSLR. The image quality is excellent & it offers the option to manually adjust most camera settings. It is easy to use, small, lightweight, & a perfect camera for an amateur/hobby photographer.

                          If you read the manual you will be astounded at all the bells and whistles.
                          The quality is very good for a powershot.
