I was expecting the perfect camera based on all the fantastic reviews here on Amazon. As of writing this review, 17 out of 25 have given it 5 stars, 7 have given it 4 or 3, and 1 person has given it 2 stars. My previous digital camera was a Canon Powershot S400 (4 megapixel) camera that I got over 5 years ago. It was an excellent camera. I decided to stick with Canon because I loved the S400 so much (and my previous film SLR camera was a Canon too). So I got the G10: a 14.7 megapixel camera marketed as a midway between a point and shoot and a Digital SLR. It has a solid black body design and button layouts reminiscent of the old style of SLR. There is a whole heap of functionality built within this camera.
Image quality is what matters and I'm disappointed with this camera. The problems I have with it are:
1. Pixel noise. As others have mentioned, noise becomes apparent at ISO's 400 and above. However, when you actually analyse the picture taken at lower ISO's, noise is still evident. If you are going to use a camera outdoors during the day or if you are using this for regular prints or photos for the web, then this is not a problem. If you are using this camera for indoors, poorly lit situations, and want high quality images that you can blow up to maximum size then it does become a problem. Using ISO 800 and above is useless in this camera.
2. Focus. The camera reviews here state that the images produced by this camera are super sharp. I didn't find this was the case. When I viewed images at actual size (100%) in Photoshop, I noticed the image to be soft. The sharpness that I would expect is not there. I tested using a tripod, light box and ISO 80 setting, but still notice that the image is soft. I compared images at 100% with images taken with my S400 camera and the S400 was sharper. Once again, for regular prints or photos for the web, you won't notice a sharpness problem. Its when you blow images up to larger size that you may find an issue.
3. Bright lights are not handled very well by the camera. You will notice that areas of brightness (lights) are really blown out in the image.
4. There is already a recall on this camera to resolve fine lines in images issue and a firmware update to fix a hue issue (check Canon website for details).
5. What you see through the range finder and what you see on the LCD screen are two very different things. The rangefinder view is very cropped.
I can only give it a two stars. It is overpriced and doesn't live up to the image quality that I would expect from Canon.

I've had my G10 for about a month now and I have to say it's the best digital compact I've owned. After years of using film based compacts, SLRs and medium format cameras, I started using digital about five years ago and have owned several compacts from Canon and Casio.
OK, the G10 isn't ever going to be as good as a decent DSLR with a good lens but for a compact it's great. The zoom range is roughly the same as a 35mm zoom of 28-135mm, which is pretty much the range I used to cover with prime lenses when I used 35mm film SLRs.In other words, it's fine for most non-specialised photography. The quality of images produced is excellent, so you can expect to be able to make your own A3 prints with no problem and it looks like the images will stand up to quite large size canvas/art printing as well (I haven't tried this yet but the images viewed on screen at 100% look sharp without any additional processing).
This camera has plenty of user control potential and all the main settings can be done with "hard" controls on the camera body, so you only need to go into the screen based menu for the less frequently changed stuff (the screen is fantastic by the way). I didin't think I'd use the two custom mode settings at first but after using the camera for a while I found that they are actually useful and I use one for my basic AV priority mode with all the other settings I prefer and the second is used for all of these same settings but using RAW + JPEG. Of course, if you want, you can shut down all manual control and use the camera on auto without having to think about anything but pressing the shutter release.
Personally, I like the feel of this camera - probably because it has a similar feel to the more advanced film based cameras of 10 years ago. That said, I also like the very compact digital cameras that that are light/small enough to always carry and use just as a visual notebook or at parties and so on. The G10 seems to be designed for quite serious image making but without the weight and size of a modern DSLR. It does have a small sensor, of course, so it has the limitations that go with this but up to ISO 200 the noise is OK (not too many people would have used film faster than ISO 200 for general photography anyway, and ISO 400 and above film was pretty grainy, as I recall).
Yes, there are cheaper cameras that might compare with the G10 in terms of lens spec or pixel count etc but this camera has the performance and the feel of a quality product - it's very pleasing to use.

I used to like this camera, did a pretty good job. Maybe it was a little fuzzier at full resolution than I liked but it was still pretty good.
What makes this camera a 1-star? A well known problem with the G-series - they suck in dust onto the sensor. I tried taking it apart myself but I couldn't get to the sensor (the 3 screws holding it are glued down). The alternative? Probably a 100-pound-plus repair bill and NO guarantee it will work afterwards (my G7 was destroyed when I had it repaired by a canon repair shop - often the G series only perform half the functions after a "repair").
KEEP AWAY FROM THE G-SERIES UNLESS YOU ARE HAPPY WITH A LIFETIME OF ABOUT 1 YEAR. I'VE HAD 2 G-SERIES CAMERAS NOW AND THEY BOTH FAILED AFTER A YEAR.

I have been disappointed in recent weeks with a different manufacturer's Canon G12 replacement battery, but this one from Maxim is the business. It has plenty of power and it holds its charge well. It's on a par with the one that came with the camera and might even be a little better. Just the job.

You can't really compare this camera to a digital SLR, but then if you wanted an SLR you wouldn't be reading this would you? This is a compact camera that can fit in a coat pocket or the corner of small bag. It may not always do the job as well as an SLR, but it will certainly take better photos than an SLR that you left at home because it was too big to carry.
It's basically a digital rangefinder style of camera for those who want more than a point and shoot snapper and want manual control options. It may not be cheap, but it's not silly money either. OK, the f stops are limited and the optical viewfinder isn't great, but you don't have to use it. However, those who have used optical viewfinders will appreciate the difference from SLR viewfinders. It's a different way of making photos, and although it may not appeal to everyone it's a technique that has kept many famous photographers using Leicas when far better technology has been available for years.
In normal lighting conditions the camera is capable of results are little short of amazing. The lens quality makes good use of the 14.7 megapixel images, and you can produce the sort of photographs that would have required a medium format camera back when film was the only viable option. My only regret is that this camera was not available ten years ago, there are so many times when it would have been very useful over the years.
In short, the camera isn't perfect, but there is not much on the market in this style of camera to compare it against. It's capable of excellent results under the right conditions and it's well made. Those who choose it, do so for what it is, not for what it isn't.

I was moving toward upgrading my Eos 300D with a 40D but decided to go down the route of a prosumer compact instead (frankly - some of the hikes I've been on recently have been hampered by dragging around a DSLR plus two lenses and assorted gubbins). After much deliberation, I decided on the G10 - I know it's about a week before the G11 comes out but I wanted something with approx 15MP resolution for large scale prints, and the G11 has been reduced down to 10 for some reason. The G10 on first use is a fantastic piece of kit - I've printed off the 306 pages of manual and I'm thinking it's going to take me at least a year to explore its functionality. Better photgraphers than me have reviewed the camera in appropriate technical detail but I have to say, compared with every compact I've ever used, the pics on this are as good as you can get. Very little shutter lag (which I absolutely detest on other cameras because you always lose the moment) superb auto functions - controllable for all situations, and, if you want the additional reach, you can buy a telephoto extender. An 8GB card gives you 1072 superfine images so no shortage of space. Initial results show photos that I should have no real right to take - seriously! - even the most mundane snaps have a professional look to them. If you can get one before the new inferior version comes out, sell your soul to do so.

Why buy a Canon G10? For about the same price you could get an SLR with a much bigger sensor. And whilst at base ISO the 14.7 megapixel G10 actually gives better resolution than Canon's 1000D SLR, at high ISO its resolution falls away and noise increases significantly. But at the SLR's base price you would not get a 28-140mm (equivalent) zoom; and being far lighter and much more compact the G10 is a camera that you can take with you everywhere without it being a burden.
The most direct competition in a compact comes from the Panasonic LX3. While not quite matching the LX3's low light performance the G10's superior zoom (5x as opposed to 2.5) makes it far more versatile, and at low ISO it has superior, not to say stunning, resolution.
And while the G10's low light performance may not be comparable to an SLR, it's still better than the vast majority of compacts. In many situations it's possible to reduce noise by keeping the ISO down to 400 or less. In low light I use aperture priority mode to keep the aperture at maximum and the shutter speed as high as possible. You can set the ISO to 200 on the dedicated ISO dial, and shoot at slow speeds thanks to the very effective optical image stabilisation. In continuous mode this allows shooting down to 1/15 sec; at 1/8 and below single-shot mode is more effective, enabling hand-held shots at 1/4 sec. with little or no camera shake.
With its excellent 3" high-resolution screen, RAW shooting, a host of manual options, customisable menus and incredible macro capability, the G10 has a lot to offer; you get a feature-packed camera that fits in your pocket without making too big a hole in it.

I purchased this product on the advice of a professional photographer. My aim was to have a camera which would allow me to develop an interest in photography and have facilities to explore as my knowledge grew.
I have owned the camera for about a month and have used it and have aslo taken tuition from the person who recomended the camera.
I am very pleased with the product and commend it to you.

I bought my G10 from Amazon 2 years ago. Main likes are the extensive menus, ISO and aperture dials, large display and solid feel. My only dislike is an occasional lens blind stiction which is annoying but can be picked up when framing a photo. Additionally low light requires a tripod, like most cameras which is not convenient.
I have an Ixus i80 and and EOS350D also so this forms a great intermediate camera. Probably better than the EOS in fact.

Canon PowerShot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera - 5x Optical Zoom, 3 inch PureColor LCD II Viewfinder - Black
Received from Amazon within a couple of days of ordering, this camera exceeds my expectations. As a user of Canon digital SLR cameras, I am very impressed with the results and A3 size prints can be made from the JPEG files virtually straight from the camera. Even RAW files need minimal editing although there is plenty of scope there should it be desired. Forget about the digital zoom as I have successfully made crops from small areas of the optical zoom images with no great deterioration in quality. Negative comments have been made about noise levels, however I have used this to my advantage producing flower closeups at 1600 ISO which have ended up with a beautiful watercolor effect - the noise also works well in in monochrome (memories of grainy black and white film) so I think that too much bad comment has been written about noise problems. In any case, it always is the case that low ISO setting will produce the finest results, so think positively, not negatively and buy and enjoy this camera. For the next version of this camera, I would like to see the digital zoom eliminated (as I think it is surplus to the needs of most users of cameras of this quality) and HD video incorporated.

Its a great camera, with all the right features that I wanted, but had to research various cameras before I purchased the G10. The Camera feels very solid & sturdy, and has all the Automatic & SLR features necessary for an enthusiast trying to improve his/hers photography skills without using a Full SLR camera. The price is now right which means that its great value. The Image quality is excellent, and the bundled software allows you to transfer RAW photos for picture tweaks and manipulations. The zoom is good, and the digital zoom can add extra functionality to those that need it. Other camera that cost more, but are worth looking at are the Leica LX3, or the Olympus PEN (but they cost a bundle more). If anyone is looking for a solid, automatic or with Manual SLR Camera then I would recommend you buy this camera.

I bought this camera to strap it under a T-Rex600 Electric RC helicopter and do some aerial shots; but it has proved to be a good tool for lots of other shooting.
If you ever used one of the early Lieca M series cameras you will recognise the format. But, many digital derivations of that format lack charm and feel; they just get in the way of a good image and slow you down with idiotic menus. The G10 feels like engineering, not electronics; I can forget the camera and "See" again.
This will never be a studio workhorse like my Nikon D-SLRs, but even there it feels good and makes me smile. A small sensor like this can't deliver the clarity of a big one and it suffers if you crank up the ISO, but the rendition of tone is kind and the controls are so easy to live with I can forgive the rest. You will soon be choosing to use it over more serious cameras, even when weight is not the main reason for doing so. You just hit the On/Off button and start using it.
Positive: So far - most of it really.
Negative: The zoom function lack the precision of a bigger camera and the tripod bush is NOT under the lens axis WHY??
Enjoy

I've had this camera for just a year and although pleased with wide angle lense I've encountered problems with the so-called lense protection actally scratching the lense! I've had to return it and it was repaired free of charge but I've now lost total confidence in the camera and am expecting that the problem will reoccur! I treat my digital cameras with great care and have had them since 1997.
I would therefore NOT recommend this camera.I hope the G11 doesn't suffer from the same defect.

What a brilliant piece of kit, well done Canon, I'm glad i did my research on this camera as it proved invaluable when choosing, it was everything it said it would be and more.Please take my word for it, i havn't put it down since i got it.Takes brilliant quality and clear pics without the flash and with....it overshadows my DSLR CANON 400D a little as far as the digic4 processor is concerned, but will probably use the 400D more and keep the G10 for going out for the evening or something, when all my other gear is too heavy to carry.

I bought my Canon G10 on recommendation from a teacher of a Compact Digital photography course. I was using a 3 year old Nikon Coolpix S1 and became aware that it really didn't do what I wanted it to do. What I was looking for was a camera that would give me aperture and shutter control, image stabilisation and a viewfinder. In the future I would like to get an SLR but at the moment I was looking for something I could take out walking. I felt an SLR would be too bulky and needs extra lenses which would work out more costly.
I am very pleased with the pictures I have taken so far using the aperture and manual settings. I have taken some really good close up pictures of flowers. I have also found that the people Mode gives far superior pics to my old camera.Having said that I chose the Canon as I wanted more manual control rather than lots of fancy modes.If you want a camera that does all the work for you another model may be more appropriate.
The Canon G10 is a lot heavier than my old Nikon. To my uneducated eye it looks like an old fashioned 35mm camera. However I have decided it way outperforms my old Nikon compact. I think it's weight and chunkiness helps keep the camera steady improving the quality of your pictures. It does feel very easy to hold.
I am disappointed that the camera doesn't come with a paper manual. When you are learning photography you need something you can take out with you. I also find the manual is a bit confusing. I think I will learn more by playing around with it.
Overall though I am very pleased with my purchase and am looking forward to taking some great pictures.

i bought the G10 to replace my trusty combo of a Fuji S7000 & a Casio Exilm Z75, both died on me within 7 days of each other... i took the G10 with me on a recent trip & despite being no pro' photographer i managed to get fantastic results using it, the zoom especially...i even took it along to a recent gig with me & although i was stuck right at the back of the audience photos were crisp, despite using nigh on maximum zoom & the video footage was by far the best i've ever achieved with the sound close to perfect, no distortion as with previously owned cameras. the G10 has received many great reviews & deservedly so.....it's the most i've ever spent on a camera but a purchase i don't regret..

I bought this camera after a friend recommended it. It's a great camera and I have got excellent photos with it. It performs brilliantly in low light conditions. On auto mode it takes super photos. There is a range of nice settings in the Scene section to allow you to select the correct mode required easily by turning the control wheel. The zoom features are excellent and you can get sharp focus even at the maximum digital zoom. There is a nice movie function, with crisp sound and sharp pictures. It's a great camera.
I was in Jordan recently with colleagues from National Geographic, and they were saying what a nice camera it is and that I bought right. I guess you don't get a better recommendation than that.

This camera has been a constant companion with me when I cant take a bulky DSLR. I was always weary of the iso noise issue (which canon have seam to addressed with the G11) but after seeing the results at low iso's i was stunned with the detail and sharpness, for a compact it is stunning. I mainly use my G10 for friend and family snaps, travel, journalism style all of which it excels at. The lack of high iso use is a pain but a flash does help if you have access to one otherwise a tripod can get around this. four years ago technology and resolution like this was a dream and now its here,yes it is still flawed but after you get used to its gimmicks its a great photographers camera.

Having been a keen photographer some years ago, I wanted a camera which had advanced features but which was also moderately compact so could at a pinch go in a pocket, and had fully automatic modes if I had no time to play with it. I also wanted a camera which was well built, and being quite heavy stops it being borrowed by my daughter. Which magazine made it their best in category, as did the editors of two digital photography magazines.
The camera came as quickly as ever (thanks Amazon). The first photo opportunity was a trip to a bluebell wood and the pictures I took from first use and in subdued lighting were outstanding quality. The macro feature allowed superb shots of the individual stems.
The two things I would point out is that it definitely benefits from a fast, high quality memory card, as this reduces the transfer time after the photograph is taken, and having a card of no more than 2Gb will allow it to be used in computer card readers (I bought a 4Gb and a 2Gb memory card; only the 2Gb card is recognised by my card reader and WinXP). You can of course connect the camera to the computer but it is quicker to upload using the card alone.
Well recommended.

Canon PowerShot G10 Digital Camera - Black (14.7MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 3.0" PureColor LCD II Viewfinder
I have had the camera for a month or so now and am extremely pleased with it.
I bought it because I did not want the bulk and hassle of a DSLR but wanted the flexibility of full manual control and high quality images. I was keen to have a view finder for those long exposure shots when you don't have a tripod to hand and have to brace nice and firmly. The view finder is compromised (77% field of view) but is better than nothing. I looked ay the Panasonic LX3 (lens range too limited) and the Nikon P6000 (Gimmicky) and decided that the Canon was the one for me.
I have used it in a variety of conditions from sunny landscapes to poorly lit restaurants and have managed consistently good images.
The build quality is excellent and battery life has been good even when using the camera hard with lots of flash work in a short space of time.
Using a decent 8Gb SDHC card I have found the write speeds good even when shooting RAW.
My only issue has been the size of the camera which is fine for a winter coat pocket but nothing smaller. Getting a case to fit has also been a bit of an issue. The one I have at the moment is too bulky but does protect the camera.
Overall a superb camera and one I would recommend to anyone who takes their photography seriously.

This is my first digital camera after many years of using Pentax and Nikon SLR film cameras. It is just about small enough to carry in my pocket which my SLR is not. The images are fantastically detailed truly incredible. I have not yet managed to explore all the features the camera offers, however the macro facility is brilliant. Pictures of flowers are exceptionally detailed. The camera is well built and the controls are easy to use even for my large hands. The battery life is good, downloading to my computor is easy using supplied software. I was going to buy a replacement Nikon digital SLR, now I am not so sure as this camera is so good.
