Wideangle lens; great image quality; accessible controls; good low-light performance
Some noise problems; not the fastest burst mode
Still the Godfather of compact cameras, the Canon G10 is a worthy successor to the G9. A wideangle lens, accessible controls and a list of features as long as your arm put dSLR power in your pocket ...
Abstract: With the introduction of the G10, Canon has remedied one of the few criticisms of itsexcellent G9, that it lacked a wide-angle zoom, by changing the lens zoom ratio to ahandier 28-140mm f/2.8-4.5 range. Like its predecessor, the lens on the G10 is opti...
Canon’s semi-pro G-series gets its first wide angle (28mm) camera with optical image stabilisation, and it’s a beauty. Hewn from black metal, the G10 is both war-zone-tough and catwalk-friendly, thanks to a crystal-clear lens, face tracking an...
Now that SLRs have Live View, movie modes and lower price tags, there’s less of a reason to stick with compacts, even ones as well built as the G10. Burst shooting is also sluggish at about 0.7 frames per second, so it’s not ideal for sports p...

Easily accessible settings on top deck; 28mm wide-angle lens; natural-looking colors in photographs; speedy performance.
Heavy and a tad bulky; no major improvements to feature set from G9.
The G10 is going to be tough competition for the Lumix and other pro-level point-and-shoots, but it boils down to the image quality which is subjective. The features have not changed much, though it should satisfy those looking for a compact shooter to co...
Abstract: La Canon PowerShot G10 es la sucesora de una amplia gama de cámaras de calidad. O al menos esta es la conclusión general del test. De hecho, el concepto de cámaras PowerShot G ha estado funcionando desde hace ya un tiempo, y se han ido incorporando nu...
Abstract: Dans le monde des compacts actuels, le Canon G10 est un gros appareil, volumineux et surtout lourd puisque son poids se rapproche de celui des reflex les plus légers. Si vous envisagez de lemporter en permanence avec vous, prévoyez une grande poche tr...
