Not reliable
on December 8, 2010
Posted by: John
I bought this camera at the beggining of the year and was very happy. But after my first surftrip the camera broke down. Sent to Canon and they repaired it, but at the first time in the water it broke down again.
The camera is good, little too big, but it's not reliable at all.
I'm gonna send it for repair again... And I won't have it for my New year's holiday trip. Will I receive a reliable camera at this time?!?!
Think twice before buying it.

Cons: Heavy/Bulky, not reliable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best camera so far.

I purchased this camera in 2009 for a January 2010 mountain climbing expedition to the Argentine Andes. The reason I purchased this model is because I had cameras ruined due to rain and from being dropped.
My Powershot D10 has been dropped countless times on rock, concrete sidewalks, and has been subjected to the sub zero temperatures and extreme altitude of Cerro Aconcagua in Argentina without failure.
I am also a professional firefighter, I carry my Powershot D10 in my turnout coat pocket during my shift. While in my pocket, it has been inside several burning structures and been soaked countless times from fire attack hose lines. It also has been dropped several times on the engine house floor without damage.
Just recently, I took my Powershot D10 on two trips to the high Sierra in California and it took great photos and video.

I'm up to four!

Absolutely the best camera for the price and size on the planet. My surfer/fisherman/student son has one and loves it. My daughter who went diving this summer in the Caribbean (down to 85') took gorgeous under and over water photos. My wife and I just returned from Cat Island (Bahamas) and we love ours. The fourth we just gave as a wedding present to friends who honeymooned in the Caribbean and they love it. Not just for underwater, but all photos. Only minor cons I would say is that the zoom is a bit inconvenient, and the video - although great quality - really eats battery life. Great, great camera.
Pros: quality above and below water, ease of use, size
Cons: video really eats battery life, zoom is a bit incovenient
I would recommend this to a friend!

flooded D10 came to life again after 3 months

Okay... this is freaking awesome for CANON Powershot D10 - also known as their (words here) PROOF camera...
and this is no joke!
I guess what they meant with waterproof is way beyond its exterior but also its internal mechanism.

I've written a review before about this camera when i got this last year of june. And i totally loved it, we loved it.
And another review after it got flooded.
This is my 3rd review of this camera.
And another review after it got flooded.
This is my 3rd review of this camera.
We got this June 2009... Have been very useful in our nature trips both for taking underwater photos and videos... most esp. with salt/fresh water. We've used this in so many places which involves salt water!
April 2010 -- was about to use it for our night swimming at a workmate's place.
Was able to take 5 photos in the pool shower. While dipped in the pool, i tried to take shots, was able to take one shot in the pool and a short video, then it suddenly turned off... Bham! Wont turn on. Looking at it, screen and lens began to show waters in them, guessing water went in the A/V port seal, because when i checked all seals, its the one wet inside.
When i got home, it got even more obvious, the water totally flooding the lens like it's crying and so as the mists on its screen.

So we bought a new D10 for me to be able to use for my upcoming spelunking/trekking trip in the highlands.
My then BF now hubby, brother and I even kept it as a secret from my parents... =)))

I left it in the **** for my brother to use *lucky him* and bought all possible protections for it in case they will use it underwater (dicapac -- weird but i did bought a dicapac for my 2nd D10), and brought the flooded D10 to the US since it was ordered here.
September 11, 2010 -- was cleaning and rearranging stuffs at home... then i came across my flooded D10, no more water in the lens, and only got some few mists / fog on the screen but barely noticeable......it has been looking dry 2 months ago but its still dead each time i attempted turning on its power...
*we have not thrown it yet coz we planned to return it to canon which we forgot to or we can just dissect it and play with it in the future *

i know it's broken, but i just want to mess with it this time, putting the battery on the camera and pushed the power button...
Waaaaaaaaaah! -- it turned on!
I took my first shot ever since it got flooded...
I had a decent one!

And took more shots to test it...
All photos turned out so fine and there's no sign of weird markings that the flooding may have caused.
Plus... its original canon battery, still has charge in it. The last time it was charged was April 2010, and it's already September 2010. This is a wow for me and my husband!

Now my concern is my camera's accessories which i left in the **** with my brother having my 2nd and newer D10... case, strap, charger, and extra batts.
It's working like its never been flooded...
This is a case of RESURRECTION!
CANON i salute you and i love you!
Imagine, my once dead Powershot D10 has revived life on its own!
To CANON:
if you want to see the before and after photos of my D10, feel free to email me for it. it's even on my FB coz i was soooo happy about it and so astounded. I knew some people who had to bring their flooded D10's in the repair centers and leave them there instead of having it repaired since the centers are asking for almost the same price to fix it...that's nuts.. but hey... this is something you should check on your next waterproof camera, if you will be producing a new one. Test it for the same accident i had.
Though i know people doesnt have 3-4 months to wait for it to completely dry up internally. Like us, we bought a 2nd D10.

Pros: tough from inside-out, takes good underwater videos and photos, works well with all water types, if got flooded give it some drying time
Cons: bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great camera for all-in-one starter

After destroying 2 power shots in harsh travel conditions- one by water emersion and one by dropping- I received the D10 as a gift. After 18 months I can say I am in love with this camera. It is a fantastic choice for the beginner who enjoys photography in all conditions. The macro images are crisp and impressive. The sunset feature allows for truly remarkable images that rival professional photographers. It is a welcomed companion at the beach above and below the ocean waves. The D10 does have some weaknesses: it could use a more hand friendly design and its screen could use rubber bumpers to protect it from the elements. However, If your new to photography and enjoy a compact camera with lots of features this is the cannon D10 is a fantastic choice.
Pros: powerful features, excellent auto mode, good value, waterproof
Cons: housing design, screen protection
I would recommend this to a friend!

As many have found, the D10 was only waterproof until submerged.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Camera is not waterproof

Purchased camera for our three week Hawaiian vacation. First day of our vacation took it to the beach to take a few underwater pictures and water leaked into the lcd and shorted out the power. Needless to say we had to relay on our cell phone cameras for the rest of our vacation. Useless for is intended purpose.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
