Display stops working
on June 16, 2012
Posted by: david92014
I was very pleased with this camera until I used it under water (snorkeling, so not very deep). It takes good pictures and has good features. However, the first time I used it under water the display stopped working. The camera still takes pictures, but you cannot see what you are taking a picture of and cannot change any settings, so the camera is essentially worthless now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

You won't believe this!

I bought a D10 because I spend a lot of time outdoors, and I wanted a camera that could handle winter weather. After using my D10 for several years I have been very happy with the picture quality as well as the movies I make.
On 1/27/2012 after ice climbing I discovered the camera came out of the case while walking down a canyon. Unable to find it in the snow I went home. Last weekend 6/10/2012 I went back into the canyon to look for it. To my surprise I found it laying next to a bush. I picked it up turned it on and took a picture. Not only did it take the picture but it downloaded all the pictures from my ice climb 5 months before when I got home. It still works perfect. The camera has been at 7,000 feet for 5 months, through 4 snow storms, 2 rain storms, single digit tempertures and now laying in the sun for several months. I don't know what more anyone could put this camera through. If you need a camera that can take the weather this camera has been tested.

Great Underwater Camera
on June 9, 2012
Posted by: Q
from Puerto Rico
I researched underwater cameras to use on my trip to Puerto Rico and looked at some other brands besides Canon (to give them a fighting chance). I chose this one because of it's range (up to 33ft underwater), 12.1 megapixels, durable design, wide temperature range, and shock resistant abilities.
This camera made a great companion as I climbed waterfalls in the rainforest, and snorkeled off the coast. It has a great battery life and takes amazing pictures in and out of the water. Its range of settings lets you take full advantage of many different scenes, from low-light to bright.
It not only functions well as an adventure camera, but it is also great to carry with you anywhere you go. Due to its underwater abilities, you can take it to the beach even if you don't plan on going in the water (no worries about sand and salt spray), or where ever you want (no worries about getting caught in a rainstorm!)
The only drawbacks are its slightly bulky design; it won't fit in your pocket as easily as others can. Also, the outer case scratches easily- this is only a cosmetic problem. I do wish the zoom was better, which seems to be available in the D-20 model with a 5x zoom.
One word of advice is to soak it well for a few hours in fresh water immediately after exposing it to salt. When you do soak it, make sure to take off any wrist lanyards attached to one of the 4 corner attachment sites. (I didn't, and the little attachment at the end of the lanyard became corroded because the fresh water could not get in to wash out the salt, and it almost became permanently attached.) If sand gets on any outside part of the case, rinse it off rather than trying to wipe it with your hand- this could lead to scratches. If sand or moisture gets into the compartments, remove it with a q-tip. MAKE SURE the rubber seals are lint and particle free when you close the battery and computer attachment compartments. I suspect the failure to do this is how some people end up with 'leaky' cameras. Water pressure will take advantage of any gaps, no matter how small.
Besides the superior designs which have made me appreciate Canon, their service department is the best I have ever encountered. They are very quick, honest, and if you have a legit problem with their product, they will fix or replace it quickly.
Pros: Bright LCD, good button placement, versatility, quick startup, easy to use, crisp pictures, nice battery life, kid friendly
Cons: limited zoom, slightly bulky shape

A very good camera for Water Lovers
on May 24, 2012
Posted by: kayaker2
from Washington State
My Wife and I are kayakers. I was shooting very good camera and it started raining. $300 down the tube. My wife could not use this camera anyway. So we looked and said we would try the d10.. It can rain on us all day long and a little water from the paddles don't hurt anything either. For us it is a very good water sports camera. My wife can even operate it. Thank you cannon.
Pros: very good water sports camera

Shock proofed by me !
on May 17, 2012
Posted by: Plumeria
Today I fell hard on cement taking pictures of my daughter & baby with her digital camera & my canon powers-shot in my hands, I have to replace hers, but mine works after that hard hit ! Just why I went the extra mile & bought this camera, I knew I wanted to snorkel & boat without worry. I'm still learning how to use all the extras of this camera.

the best vacation camera you can possibly own. you can't beat this this camera with a stick. install a large memory card and you will have great pictures and video rain or shine, in the pool, or in the ocean. i have gone on 3 cruises with this cam and have been very satisfied by the underwater snorkeling video each time. get it and you will be glad you did
Pros: great underwater video, great jpeg pics, not cumbersome easy to use and keep with you, vacation must have, good battery life

All that it claims to be
on April 23, 2012

I just got back from a long weekend in Yosemite National Park with my Canon Powershot D10, and it's all that it's cracked up to be. I've had this camera for almost two years now, and it does exactly what I want. It is a little large, not quite comfortably fitting into a pants pocket, but I'll deal with the inconvenience.
I travel extensively, and I don't baby my gear. If it can't handle my lifestyle, I don't want it. Among other things, I'm a long distance backpacker and a scuba diver. I go to cold, dusty, rough, remote places, as well as the standard spin around town. I need a versatile, high-performing camera to fill in the gaps where my SLR is too bulky, too heavy or too fragile to go. I've taken the D10 diving (down to 12 meters, oops) and gotten amazing pictures that were the envy of my peers (even compared to someone shooting with a G12 in an underwater housing!). I've been dunked in a stream overflowing with snow melt, and the camera hasn't missed a beat. I throw it in my backpack for three days in the backcountry, and it takes amazing pictures.
The startup time is negligible and the features are all familiar from my Canon SLR. I shoot on program mode, and modifications and settings are quick and easy. It's not as customizable as I'd like (can't manually set exposure time or aperture). I'd love to be able to attach a remote to it for some time-lapse or super-long exposures. The zoom range isn't too impressive, although it does have digital zoom (I usually ignore this feature, since I think quality dwindles). Battery life does leave something to be desired, especially in the areas that I take it. I need to get a second battery. I'd love it if this camera could charge off USB. All that being said, I've taken some truly amazing professional-quality pictures in places that don't welcome professional-quality gear. I love my Powershot D10 and don't go anywhere without it.
Pros: rugged, waterproof, quick startup time, customizable settings, high quality pictures, excellent qualitiy underwater scene setting
Cons: Short battery life, limited zoom
