G10 Best point & shoot
on February 26, 2009
Posted by: joeH
from Tampa, FL
I've owned a G2 for years, recently gave to my nephew, still working great. I purchased the G10 to complement my Canon 20D SLR for when I air travel and can't carry-on all my SLR gear. The G10 works great!
Pros: easy to use, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good camera
on March 4, 2009

Pros: Excellent quality, sturdy build, easy-to-access features.
Cons: Not much optical zoom, not that good in low light, no HD video, a bit big.
Cons: Not much optical zoom, not that good in low light, no HD video, a bit big.
Overall this is an excellent camera. It feels good to hold and it is super easy and quick to change the ISO, the mode, and the exposure with the three dials on top. This is much better than going through menus. I also like the fact that you can delete a photo with just 2 pushes of a button. The LCD screen is excellent. I wish the programmable button would accept Movie Mode like my SD 870 did (very handy when taking movie clips of children). I am generally very pleased with this camera. I will probably also buy the new SD 780 to have a really small pocketable camera. (The smaller the camera the more likely I am to have it on me.)
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, durable
Cons: Missing features/settings, Poor Low-Light Performance, Heavy/Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

64bit RAW support
on November 10, 2008
Posted by: Dean S.
from Kalamazoo, MI
I've only had this camera for a couple hours (just bought it tonight) so I can't give a complete and objective opinion right now. But so far I am very impressed except one thing... There apparently is no support for this camera's RAW files in Windows Vista 64 bit. The RAW codec downloadable from Canon is only supported in Vista 32 bit and so far (apparently) support in Photoshop / Bridge CS3 only goes as high as the G9. The included software can open and edit the RAW images but I need support in Bridge and Photoshop. Canon... When will there be 64 bit support?
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, portable, durable
Cons: no 64 bit raw support

this has been a great camera so far

from western North Carolina
I purchased the G10 to have with me all the time rather than carrying my 40D constantly. I have had the camera about three months and in general am very pleased with the camera. The build quality is very good, images using lower ISO are excellent. Noise in the upper ISO is somewhat disturbing but I don't generally shoot above 200 so this is not a real problem with me. I love the control knobs on top of the camera, it makes it so easy to make changes on the run. I would have rated this camera all fives if it wasn't for the noise level at higher ISO's.
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance

The G10 is an excellent compact camera. Works great as a point and shoot yet offers many advanced options. Great travel camera. Excellent underwater case option.
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, good battery life, durable, optimum performance/size/value
Cons: would love 24mm wide

Great Travel Camera
on February 19, 2009
Posted by: rmg
from Philadelphia
There are a few minor problems with the G10 - LCD doesn't handle bright light sources properly. That said, it's a terrific travel camera. It's so nice to be able to leave my pro SLR gear at home when I'm not on assignment and just take my G10.
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life
Cons: lcd performance with bright light sources
I would recommend this to a friend!
