Do not purchase
on July 30, 2010
Posted by: ITchic
We have sent our camera in 3 times due to technical issues. First off we found out this camera is not to be used in Salt Water. This is after we bought it specifically for our Hawaii vacation and had it in the water only to see bubbles coming out screen and it ate the inside up. So we were without a camera on vacation. Another time the lens had an error so we had to send it in again. And now something else is wrong and were sending it in again. We have 2 other Canon camera's that work fine.
Cons: add a con
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great waterproof camera. This is my pool, ocean and canoe trip camera. Takes great underwater pictures. Has been down to about 4 feet or more and no problems. Just wish is was a little smaller. Quite bulky compared to the other cameras out there.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rugged "Boat Camera"
on July 28, 2010
Posted by: JFWawol
from West Palm Beach Florida
I have owned my D-10 for about 6 months; the camera was bought for use outdoors on my boat while fishing. It has performed flawlessly so far. After reading several reviews on the D-10 I am convinced that it IS NOT WATERPROOF; however I can attest to it being VERY WATER RESISTANT.
I have had it out on several offshore fishing trips here in south Florida and it has worked great as a “boat camera”. It has been dropped, shaken and rattled around in the glove compartment of my boat. It is scratched up and looks worn but still works great.
I have not submerged the camera more than 18” or so underwater; however I have done so many times while taking shots of fish being landed next to the boat and it has not leaked or become waterlogged yet.
The camera looks to be built to handle rugged conditions and so far for me has lived up to the claims made by Cannon regarding performance and its ability to handle harsh conditions.
I do not treat the camera with “kid gloves”, it has been covered in fish slime time and time again, rinsed off and continues to work just fine.
If you are considering purchasing the D-10 I would recommend the following:
Do not dive with it… or submerge it for prolonged periods of time at depths any deeper than two feet.
If possible, frequently wash it off with fresh water throughout the day while using it in salt water.
NEVER open up the camera unless it has been dried completely first.
I did not buy the camera with the intention do dive with it, as stated, I purchased it as a “boat camera”, if you are looking for the same, the D-10 should be considered.
Pros: takes very sharp pictures., very easy to use., very water resistant.
Cons: may not be waterproof.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Little Camera
on July 24, 2010
Posted by: Bob
from Evansville, IN
I found this camera easy to use. It takes great pictures. How easy is it to use? My 3 year old granddaughter successfully took pictures with this camera. I was amazed that she actually got some very good shots. All I did was explain to her how to hold it, wait for it to focus and press the proper button slowly. I use this camera when I am just visiting friends and don't want to "lug" my DSLR around with me. Oh, by the way my granddaughter used the camera while playing in the water.
Cons: i wish it had more zoom.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Housing, please!!!

It's an amazing camera. I've used it in the snow and under the water.
I just miss one thing, a water proof housing to take it when I dive below 10 m.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Would be great if it worked
on July 21, 2010
Posted by: Badbirder
On our first snorkel trips last year with this camera it produced great pictures. Its got a nice feel in the hand and seems robust.
On the second trip this year, to the Red Sea, we were really excited to get some good images. And then the display failed just minutes after getting in the water(snorkelling on the surface - well within the limits). By pressing all the combinations of buttons - the screen came back and then failed again. Seems like an intermittent fault, not water leakage.
The problem is compounded by the fact that there is no way to adjust the camera if the screen is not working, impossible to figure out how to do a reset, even if this might help. The shutter button worked and took pictures that I was able to view by putting the card in another camera. But you can't see what you are taking pictures of if the screen is dead.
This is a problem that I have seen mentioned on several posts for the D10 and there appears to be no solution. So beware there are reliability problems with this camera.
Cons: not reliable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Needed a waterproof camera
on July 12, 2010
Posted by: Booker 3
from Glencoe, OK
I needed a waterproof camera and I love Canon products (The best cameras out). I hunt, fish and spend many days in the field being exposed to bad weather. I have tried other waterproof cameras with little satisfaction and hoped the Canon D10 would be the last one I would ever buy. Overall the picture quality was outstanding good speed from picture to picture and good features. THen I got it into the water and then we started to have problems. On a trip to Grand Cayman we swam with the Stingrays and after about 10 minutes on in and out of the water the screen began to flash and look distorted. So I took it out of the water opened it to let it dry and the screen began to work again. This was a disapointment to say the least. But it did redeam itself, in Belize we visited some Ruins and it began to rain. The rain was very hard at times and lasted almost all day. The D10 worked great all day in the rain with no screen issues. All those memories I would have missed! So overall the Canon D10 is a great camera but as for waterproof NO, It is what I would call water resistant.
Pros: picture quality, speed, night shooting, tripod adaptable
Cons: not waterproof/it is water resistant
I would recommend this to a friend!

Leaked first time in water
on July 12, 2010
Posted by: sad parent
My 18 year old son loved this camera until he took it in a lake. He never took it deeper than 5 feet but kept it in water for about 20 minutes. It clouded over and we realized it was full of water. We checked all openings and they were sealed so we do not know how water got in. We cannot find warranty card, but will try to get exchanged.
Pros: good pictures
Cons: leaked first time in water
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
