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
Versatile wide-angle zoom, Terrific shots in good light, Great feel and ergonomics, Excellent LCD screen, Optical image stabilization
Expensive compared to a D-SLR, Relatively slow, Digital noise at ISO 400 and above, Video should be higher quality, *
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 ...
At base ISO and in high contrast conditions, this is the highest resolving compact we have ever tested, Capable of very good results at lower ISO settings (Below ISO 400), and very usable for standard sized prints (noise and NR effects are visible on scre...
Rather slow lens (in terms of aperture) by traditional G series standards, No articulated LCD (another traditional G series feature), Price is very high considering other cameras in its class and low end DSLRs, Some noise visible even at ISO 80, Noise Red...
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...
Very good photo quality (in good light), Nice 5X zoom lens with 28 140 mm range, Optical image stabilization, Solid, well built body, with easytoaccess ISO and exposure compensation dials, Generally snappy performance, High resolution 3inch LCD display...
Lots of noise reduction in low light; images get noisy quickly in good light after ISO 400, No white balance bracketing or finetuning, Continuous shooting mode wont win any awards for speed, Lack of HD movie mode a disappointment, Design annoyances: t...
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...
Richly detailed highresolution images, Superb wideangle lens, Excellent LCD is large and crisp, Lots of dedicated controls should appeal to serious shooters, Snappy performance in most areas,
Images are objectively noisy, Continuous shooting speed a drag, Weak video options, Large, heavy, intimidating, and expensive for casual shutterbugs,
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...

Functional and fun shooting design; great enthusiast-oriented feature set; very nice photo quality
Should be a little faster shot to shot.
The Canon PowerShot G10 is a solid enthusiast digital camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR. Specifications: Resolution: 14.7 megapixels; Optical zoom: 5 x; Display type: 3 in LCD display See full specs Price range: $482.49 -...
