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
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...

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...
