Some experts made reviews on Canon Powershot G10 and the summary are given as following:
- Leonard Goh From Cnet asia gave out Canon Powershot G10 Review like that”The good: Easily accessible settings on top deck; 28mm wide-angle lens; natural-looking colors in photographs; speedy performance.The bad: Heavy and a tad bulky; no major improvements to feature set from G9.The bottom line: 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 complement their dSLR setup.” Read more…
- Cliff Smith From Trustedreviews concluded the Canon Powershot G10 Review and Verdict with”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 is beaten on picture quality and portability by the smaller, lighter and slightly cheaper Panasonic LX3, and is beaten badly on value for money by most entry-level DSLRs. 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.” Read more …

Some Customer From Amazon.com Look at Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
- By ChrisInCali (Westlake, CA USA) - Excellent crisp photos by day, noisy DNR detail-less photos by night“I had the G10 for a week and it took amazing pictures in the daytime, easily DSLR quality shots. The were very crisp, and when set to “Vivid” mode they were perfectly saturated and gorgeous on my 50″ plasma HDTV. Unfortunately, the shots I took at night, in dim light, and indoors were a different story. They were all plagued by noise, or strange smeared looking detail-less photos because of the extreme digital noise reduction that takes place inside the camera. In less than optimal lighting the camera tries to compensate for the high amount of noise brought on by too many pixels packed into a tiny point and shoot sensor on longer exposures by using DNR right when you shoot.Another huge flaw for me was the lack of ability to shoot HD video. Last years model had this feature, why remove it now in a time when HDTVs are now more popular and affordable ever! On top of that the video format used in the G10 is a horrible .mov apple format that won’t work with Windows Movie Marker, one of the most easy to use and not to mention free programs around. Before, I was able to pop my SD card out of my camera, and into my PS3 and watch the movies I took on my HDTV instantly. Now with the G10 my PS3 doesn’t even play the video format, and the PS3 supports nearly ever popular video file(avi, WMV, mpeg2, mpeg4). So that sucked for me big time because my other three Canon cameras do just fine, with a much more popular .avi video file.The G10 was going for $455 a few weeks ago(12/10/2008), and now can be had for $375 on sale if you watch the prices enough… looks like the word is getting out. As a matter of fact, it’s more expensive to purchase last years G9 model new. That’s saying something. Hopefully these camera companies will stop the megapixel race or buff up their sensors. In the mean time I recommend you either get a much cheaper regular point and shoot like the Canon SD 790, or a true entry level DSLR like the Nikkon D40.Also to note, my camera shipped with a slight lens error, and I sent it back for a replacement through Amazon’s excellent customer service, and that worked fine. Yours probably won’t, it’s very rare and can happen to any camera, but I just thought I would mention it.”
- By D. Mark Levin - Great camera no matter what!“I was hoping to find a camera that felt like a camera, handled more like a digital SLR, but was still highly portable. I researched and researched several and kept coming back to the G10. I read reviews from every camera rating service I could find and then I read the reviews by the typical user. I took this very seriously having already purchased two pocket-sized digitals which were “okay,” but not what I wanted and in my job I have experience with the Nikon D70, D90, and D40 and didn’t want a full-sized DSLR. In the end, I decided that even if the camera produced “noise” above ISO 200–it was the camera for me. So, I plucked down my credit card to Amazon and ordered last week. It came a few days later and this weekend I got to spend several hours snapping away. I will say I am SOLD on this camera. While I’m not a professional, I do quite a bit of photography as part of my job. I made the right choice. Thanks Canon.”
