Drop in optical zoom compared with G9
Rather slow lens (in terms of aperture) by traditional G series standards

Expensive compared to a D-SLR
Relatively slow
Digital noise at ISO 400 and above

*
Should be a little faster shot to shot.
Bulky
Sluggish performance
Can be slow to focus
Spotty ISO performance at 400 and up
Image quality fell a few inches short of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. Canon should have capped the PowerShot G10 at 10-megapixels. ...
The dedicated knobs for exposure compensation and ISO settings are a brilliant design feature. It is a joy to use. And image quality is outstanding, even at higher ISO speeds. To say we are surprised is an understatement. With 14.7 megapixels we expect...
We didn’t dislike the mass of the camera, but for some people it will be off-putting. If you think that compact means pocketable then the G10 is not for you. We think it feels like a real camera!
If we were in the market for a compact camera to supplement the DSLR we would be torn between the G10 and the Panasonic LX3. The LX3 is daintier and has fewer pixels, which we like. It has an outstanding Leica-branded lens that doesn’t have quite th...
Relatively low noise at ISO 800, effective image stabilisation, ideal for low-light shooting, excellent macro performance, natural-looking colours, hot-shoe for flash, can accommodate tele-converter
Shutter feels a little spongy, sometimes missed the focus point, zoom is jumpy
The G10 is compact but it packs plenty of manual features and is ideal for an enthusiast who doesn’t want to lug around a D-SLR. We found it to be very well-suited to low-light photography and macro shots, but it will perform well in any situation...
Abstract: Canons new PowerShot G10 replaces last years popular G9 model, providing some significant improvements in body design, functionality - and also performance. The latter is surprising since Canon has boosted the new models effective resolution to 14.7...
Abstract: Straight up, the 14.7-megapixel Canon PowerShot G10 just looks cool. There's something appealing about its old-school rangefinder styling, and the little lights that glow orange next to the old-timey ISO and EV compensation dials. What's more, this is a s...

Abstract: One of the key advantages of using an SLR-style camera is the lack of lag between button press and shutter snap. The Canon PowerShot G10 retains this feature in it's easy to use form, allowing for more natural-looking photographs and accurate action shots...
Abstract: A camera that sits very nicely somewhere between the ‘point and shoot’ and a DSLR. This unit does have a flash shoe but works perfectly well with the excellent built in flash. In fact the 5x wide zoom and 15MP images make this a very powerful unit....
Abstract: Despite some minor issues, it didnt take long for us to fall in love with this camera. You can pick up entry-level digital SLRs for roughly the same price, but the PowerShot G10 is more than capable of giving them a run for their money and is ideally...
Canons PowerShot G10 is a polished, pocketable performer that offers a high degree of manual control, along with good performance and easy operation. Sure, it does some things better than others, but we think overall, it does an excellent job. The of...
