Canon PowerShot G10 Review

Don't buy the Canon PowerShot G10 until you have read this review! The Canon Powershot G10 review gives you all the ins and outs of this compact digital camera.




Canon PowerShot G10 upgraded from the G9, the Canon PowerShot G10 includes a change to a 14.7 mega pixel as well as a 28-140mm zoom and better screen resolution.

The outward change is not as noticeable as other aspects of the camera. This is the first G-series digital camera that offers the option of wide-angle imaging.

FeaturesA 5x zoom with a state of the art image stabilizer, the Canon Powershot G10 is great for providing image quality without blurring. If you love to get photos of landscapes or buildings, the telephoto reach is perfect for this type of photography.

With shots that were taken inside, the problem of most digital compact cameras still exists.

Noise was present at ISO 400 and if still life is taken using ISO 1600, this was speckled quite extensively.

If you are looking for the best in control via post-processing, the G10 has a mode - RAW shooting - that allows this as well as supporting professional software for professional photographers.

Using improved calculation and algorithms with the DIGIC 4 processor allows this camera to get photos with two major advantages. The operation is quite fast and great images with the very best color and clarity are two of the best features. Resolution is 461k dots and the LCD screen is a 3.0". The G10 features fingertip access for the basic settings that will be used most often.

This camera is designed for the amateur as well as professional photographers. As a solution to the problem many digital camera operators have with blurring and movement, the following technologies have been integrated into the G10:* Motion Detection Technology* Servo AF - constantly adjusts the focus based on the movement of the subject being photographed.

When the use of a tripod is desired, the RS60-E3 remote switch allows for the ease of the shutter release.

A menu that is dedicated to the print options for direct access is another of the features included with the Canon Powershot G10.

PictBridge support is still yet another option that allows users to print to a printer that is PictBridge compatible without using a PC. The one-touch printing is supported by a print/share button and the uploading to Mac or Windows is accomplished with ease.

Supporting 26 languages, the G10 is one of the great aspects of the user interface. A 32MB memory card is supplied and the memory cards that can be used with this camera also include the MMCplus and the HC MMCplus.

Canon Powershot G10 The purchase of the G10 also includes software. Zoom Browser EX 6.2 for Windows and Image Browser 6.2 for Macintosh are included for editing and organizing purposes.

This is a wonderful option for making digital photo albums. If panoramic photos are an important aspect, the Photo Stitch 3.1 for Windows and the Photo Stitch 3.2 for Macintosh are also included.

This allows using multiple images to create the panoramic photos you desire. At approximately $500 for the Canon PowerShot G10, barring the noise problems all digital compact cameras seem to have, this is a good camera that can take excellent pictures.
