Canon G10
A close look at the Canon G10's images makes it clear that the Canon G10 meets the enthusiast's standard. We've used no finer digicam and it easily earns a Dave's Pick.
The Canon PowerShot G10 is still going to be the benchmark by which all other high-spec compacts are measured, but it's no longer the top dog...It's still an impressive camera and can produce excellent results, especially in Raw mode, but the price means its appeal is a little too specialised for some.
If you are one who isn't quite ready to jump into the dSLR world, but wants one of the most powerful and easy to use digicams on the market, look no further.
Like its predecessor, it’s not perfect, but closer than most to fulfilling the brief.
The G10 has a wealth of features that will appeal to the DSLR owner looking for a backup compact, or the enthusiast who wants DSLR functionality without the added bulk.
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.... All this took a camera which already had a lot of gadgetty appeal and made it better.
The latest PowerShot G camera proves to be a very well rounded package. In short, even in the face of high expectations, Canon delivered the goods with its latest flagship PowerShot.
If you're doing most of your shooting in good lighting and don't plan on shooting at the highest ISO settings, then the PowerShot G10 is worth a look.
The Canon PowerShot G10 is a solid enthusiast digital camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR.
