I bought this camera and we use it all the time! The kids love playing with it underwater, pictures (especially outdoors) are truly awesome, especially for a point and shoot!!!! Highly recommended. The kids drop it sometimes (it happens) and it is truly made very well. I have a fancy 40D which is big and heavy, so more times than not we grab the D10 beach, pool, skiing you name it.
Pros: waterproof/shockproof, 12 mp, decent flash, video (underwater too!), small and nice feel, gorgeous outdoor pics
I realy love my canon D10, I take it anywere with me: to kajak tours, hollydays with my family, to partys and so on. The D10 has never let me down. Its perfect for persons with small kids also, mine has been trown on the floor many times and still works like the first day i got it.
I must tell you I am more impressed with Cannon than I am with the camera and here is why.
I purchased this camera a couple of weeks prior to a trip to Jamaica. The camera functioned perfectly for our needs throughout the course of our trip, but on our 3rd day we went snorkeling, and I was excited to take this camera with me. I can assure you I double checked all the "covers" were closed (at the battery enclosure), but when we jumped in to the semi-rough seas for our snorkeling, I noticed the cover was open, and the camera completely saturated with sea water. We washed it out, dried it out, recharged the battery, etc. etc. did everything we could and it would not work. I was devistated as I just purchased this camera. We took a chance and sent it to Cannon for repair (knowing that it would be easy for a company to say it was operator error, or that we had not filled out the warranty card yet, I was expecting the worst). To my surprise, Cannon immediately responded. No charge, complete replacement. I was absolutely shocked at the fact there was no resistance. I typically feel like I have to "gripe" at companies for issues such as these, and quite honestly I felt this was a lost cause at the start. Instead, I have been nothing but impressed at the highest level of the customer service we recieved, no questions asked.
Now, for the camera - it is awesome. It does all we asked and more. I have been very happy, and I would strongly reccomend that if this is not the camera for you (should be - it's versatile and fun), I would stick with the Cannon brand out of principle.
I researched and finally got this camera for taking phootos while fishing and outdoors in a saltwater conditions. Good camera to take on a boat in saltwater and not worry about damage. Also good general purpose camera for all other conditions. Excellent sound for video and picks up sound. If you can hear it so dos the camera only you can increase volume on playback.
We have two of these cameras, mine worked fine for the first year and now, I get a lens error often and this morning it will turn on then off immediately, with a full battery charge. We bought this camera hoping it would last more than a year, especially for the price and we are VERY disappointed. I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a long term camera.
Very easy to use great focus under water and above water.it cpature images clear.
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
