floods 1 month after warranty
on July 11, 2010

My canon d10 has flooded with a decent amount of water only 1 year and 1 month after warranty. It could have been the kids who were taking pictures with it, but i very much doubt it since we were having problems with it a few weeks prior. I noticed a couple weeks ago that the pictures were becoming kind of hazy, but i dismissed it as me photographing in very humid conditions, then yesterday less than 30 seconds after i gave it to one of the kids she said it wasnt working, and indeed the buttons were not functioning correctly, and I had been using it for about 10 minutes prior, so my blames lies on canon. Nothing irks me more than when a product goes bad right after the warranty expires.
also bear in mind that this was one of canons first d10's off the line so it may just be new product growing pains, which is the main reason i am considering buying another.
Image quality was great when not high contrast situations.
This camera took a real beating from us too. Ocean and Beaches of Mexico, dust fields and flood plains of North Texas, Freezing rain, sleet, and snow of Akita Japan, Thunderstorms and Hail of Texas, and swimming pools.
I doubt this might have anything to do with it, but may be a decent theory considering how many flights it has been on, maybe the airpressure in the camera pushing out during flight may have damaged it.
you cant put a submarine in space you know.

Good but not Great

I'm spoiled with my SLR and it will take time to adjust to the limits of this camera. However, I would never take my SLR to the pool, the beach or on a boat.
Having used the camera for test shots so far and not used it on an excursion I can say this:
I am happy with video and audio capture
I am happy that it is waterproof
I am happy with 12.1 MP
I am happy it is small
I am happy that it is waterproof
I am happy with 12.1 MP
I am happy it is small
What I don't like is this:
Digital zoom is horrible, analog is okay but limited both with wide and telephoto limits
Clarity underwater (I still have some experimentation to do)
NO FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION!!!
Clarity underwater (I still have some experimentation to do)
NO FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION!!!
Over all, camera would be a good addition to additional equipment and should not be trusted as a sole camera in one's bag.
Pros: small, 12.1 mp, video and audio capture
Cons: no flash exposure compensation, digital zoom
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good all purpose camera

An easy to use point and shoot that shines with underwater shots. I used this camera at the beach, in a hotel swimming pool and at home in our backyard pool. The photo quality was excellent. The videos were good as well, ahthough not high def. The camera is a bit clumsy compared to the average point and shoot - not one to fit in a pocket like some of the others on the market. In addition, the speaker in the camera was never very strong and died within a month. The built in mike picks up sounds but you have to crank up the audio to hear it. Aside from those complaints, it's a very good camera, yeiding some very good underwater photos.
I would recommend this to a friend!

CanonPowershot D10 is by far the best camera I have owned. It is durable, takes great pictures, and is easy to use. I've used it on cruises, in the ocean, and in the rain.
Awesome camera!!!

Cons: none

great for families with kids

I had this camera for over a year now. I purchased it as soon as it came out. I bought it for our vacation in Hawaii. It was great! Underwater shots, views, night shots were nice. Although the continuing shots did not work as I expected, overall, the camera is great. Had no problems with my 2 year old dropping it on the floor. I had great pictures from the Niagara Falls with all the mist from the falls.
Pros: durable
Cons: slow continuing shots
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great pictures, but defective

I have owned this camera for nearly a year. I bought it solely for wet applications (snorkeling, white water rafting, pools, ocean, etc), since I have a Canon 40D and another Power Shot. The camera takes great pictures, when it works. My first outing in Mexico, it worked flawlessly. The last two times I have used it, it quit working about ten shots in. It just would not power on, despite the battery having a full charge. Several days later, on the same battery with no additional charge, it would power on again. Possibly just a defect with this particular unit, but it is disturbing.
When it will take pictures, the quality is very good. The features of the camera are also very good. The menus are not quite as intuitive as on the regular powershot I own, but not bad given the vast array of options.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

passed the ultimate test!

I got the power shot D10 camera for christmas. I am terrible with things like cell phones and cameras- i always break them. This camera is not breakable! it is perfect for me. This morning my boyfriend accidentally ran over it in his huge truck and it is still perfect! I was pretty impressed. Just a few scratches on it from other things that broke in my bag around it when it got run over. The lense, screen, flash are fine no cracks or anything. Great camera... VERY DURABLE !
Pros: can withstand being run over by a truck
I would recommend this to a friend!
