Positive: Compact range finder, rugged metal body, usable features, feels comfortable in the hand, equivalent picture quality to cheap DSLR if taken in well lit circumstance, big bright LCD, viewfinder for bright outdoor shooting.
*
Negative: So-so lens w/ barrel distortion at wide angle, Images show significant digital noise in low light, slow shooting in low lighty, important shooting adjustments require accessing menu.
*
I'm waiting for Canon to release a nice compact rangefinder w/ interchangeable lenses and a better image sensor.

Nice piece of equipment

Great camera, all the bells and whistles... A lot to learn but the basics have suited me just fine, I use a DSLR as my primary camera, still this is a great camera. I have utilized my 550 flash with this camera with fabulous results...a little awkward with that big flash, onboard flash works exceptionally well when bounce is not required.
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: shutter lag not up to dslr

Best Canon I've owned!

The G10 takes the best macro pictures on the appropriate setting, without a separate macro lens. I love the weight; a little heavier than a point and shoot, but so much easier for me to handle than a big SLR. I frequently use a tripod with it also. Battery life is great! I find excellent low-light performance. All settings are true to their name, especially RAW setting that produces fantastic colors and wonderful capture of light and shading. Tough construction (I am disabled and have dropped it more than once).. All the control buttons are easy to manipulate.
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use, meegapixels are awesome

Red Eye REALLY works!!

O.K. I've had several CANON cameras including several AE-Programs and the SD1000. This is the ONLY camera that I've ever had where the RED EYE actually works. Just took a photo of four sleeping barnswallows. It turned out that two of them opened their eyes because the flash went off (I'm learning the camera features). The second time I tried to take the photo, one opened his eyes and looked at me directly like, "What are you doing?" No red eye. I've been waiting to get a "G" for three years. Finally, thank you, Canon.
Pros: Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use

A Great Camera
on August 7, 2009

This is not quite a pocket camera. I weighs almost a pound. On the other hand, it outperforms an early model EOS Digital SLR that I have and it is much more portable that my EOS Digital SLR. I feel that considering the features, this camera is well worth the size and the weight. It is hard to take a bad picture with this camera ... really hard ... so long as you keep it in the automatic mode or the program mode. In the modes where one has complete control, the pictures can be okay, great, or bad (all subjective, depending on what one was after). I really like the way that the camera can do anything from taking a grab shot to taking a photograph that one works on for minutes until it is right. I also like the way that in the modes where one might need a RAW image, the camera can be programmed to keep an additional RAW automatically. I do not entirely agree that the High-Power Flash HF-DC1 is a recommended accessory. Look at the Speedlite 270EX, instead. I have both. The HF-DX1 is small, but the 270EX has features that make it worth the extra size.
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Good Low-Light Performance, good battery life, durable, has enough mass to keep it from shaking
