We really liked the Canon PowerShot G10, but it’s only for a sliver of shutterbugs out there—especially with a price tag of $450 in the real world. Yes, it takes very fine images at low ISOs with good light. The wide-angle option is also ...

Canon has taken a camera which we liked, and added more megapixels, more external controls, a wider angle lens, a higher capacity battery and a better hand grip. This was done without sacrificing operation speed, and in some ways improved the usabilit...

The Canon PowerShot G10 is a very capable fixed-lens camera that does just about everything right. Its fast, well built, customizable, and expandable. Unfortunately, its biggest problems relate to image quality, specifically to noise. Canon threw the...
The new Canon Powershot G10 carries on where the previous G9 model left off, further establishing the G-series as a realistic alternative to an entry-level DSLR camera, or backup compact for a pro user. Since dropping RAW mode completely on the G7, Ca...

Following in the footsteps of a long and successful line of advanced cameras, the G10 had a lot to live up to. The bottom line in our opinion is that in spite of some minor imperfections, the latest PowerShot G camera proves to be a very well rounded p...
5x stabilised zoom with 28mm wide angle, Flash hotshoe and RAW recording, Great quality 3in 460k screen, Good controls, build and ergonomics.
Slow continuous shooting – just 1.3fps, No G9 time-lapse movies and still no HD, Diffraction reduces detail above max aperture, No HD output - HDMI or component.
The Canon PowerShot G10 is not without its faults: it’s slow at continuous shooting, there’s no HD video or HD outputs, and for the best image quality you’ll need to shoot at 80 ISO with the aperture wide open. Fans of earlier generation...
