The editors didn't like
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...
Image quality is a mixed bag
Noise management could be better above 400 ISO
Burst mode disappointing
No HD video and no HDMI output
Viewfinder imprecise
A little bulky
Heavy. Useless optical viewfinder. Too many dials and buttons

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...
Abstract: Way back when, before DSLRs became affordable, compacts were the only option for enthusiast snappers who wanted to join the digital revolution.Since 2000, Canon’s high-end G-series cameras have proved popular with enthusiasts and professionals alike th...
Abstract: If you want to create stunning images and exercise a greater degree of control over how they're captured, conventional wisdom says invest in a DSLR rather than a compact. However, there are times when, for size, packing a DSLR or even a bridge-style ...
Abstract: Canons G10 is aimed squarely at photography enthusiasts, with businesslike styling and lots of hands-on control. At 350g its no featherweight, but unlike most enthusiasts cameras - namely SLRs and ultra-zoom models - it fits in a pocket. Thanks t...
This is a fantastic compact camera: maybe a bit fiddly to navigate through the menus and predictably noisy at high ISO. But as a carry-anywhere camera, enthusiast photographers will love it. Use it as a happy-snap party camera – you can’t go wrong. And...
Overall, the Canon PowerShot G10 is a pleasure to use, but we wish the company had focused more on noise control instead of just cramming in more megapixels. We loved carrying this sturdy camera around and we appreciated its highly useful dials, but f...
