purchased as a gift but I know she loves it! March 7, 2010 tennis mom (usa) This camera was purchased as a gift so I would not be able to personally rate each part of it. I do know that the recipient, a photographer, is extremely satisfied w/ this and happy to carry a smaller piece of equipment, daily. Is also very satisfied w/ the quality of the photos.
Best Best Best!!! March 3, 2010 Phannaroath Pheav (Oakbrook,IL) G10 is the best Point and shoot camera that i ever owned the picture quality is incredible compare to the camera in its class,Large LCD and advance feature,every picture i took it shock me with the good picture even in low light what else you looking for? I used to own Nikon D-90 but since i had G10 i rarely carry D90 around..For the battery its has long life too since the first fully charge and i never buy any back up battery with me...I recommend for everyone.
Great camera February 28, 2010 Imelda Sy (Valenzuela, Metro Manila Philippines) I bought the G10 and the waterproof case in place of my old canon powershot SD850 IS. Although the SD850 worked pretty well, its macro function is very limited. I am just starting to do underwater photography and the SD850 just could not take very small creatures like nudibranch and pygmy seahorse. I have used the G10 underwater and I am very very happy with the results. For a novice scubadiver and underwater photographer, this camera was easy to handle and delivered wonderful results. I definitely recommend this camera.
Excelente ! February 18, 2010 Angela Lopez Quiros (San José, Costa Rica) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Me costó decidir que tipo de cámara necesitaba. Estuve observando amigos fotógrafos con cámaras y lentes grandes; pero no me pude ver a mi mismo con un gran estuche lleno de lentes, filtros, baterías, cargador y otras cosas. Por eso busqué una cámara de alta calidad, muy inteligente, práctica y que la pudiera cargar durante 4 o 5 horas sin desear que pesara menos.
Esta cámara G10 de Canon cumple con todo lo que necesito para fotos en paseos, con mi familia, con un trípode, bajo el agua cuando buceo (con un estuche contra agua), para tomas de cerca.
Lo mejor : El tamaño cómodo y práctico con ese detalle de la alta definición que es excelente !
Lo neutral: Sus funciones "Scenic" que simplifican el trabajo
Lo no deseable: A mi gusto 5x no es suficiente, y con un lente de telefoto se pierde definición.
En resumen: La cámara me facilita disfrutar de la libertad que me gusta.
compared with LX3 February 15, 2010 hellfire (seattle, wa) summary : good in daylight, terrible for available light
i've spent about half a year with my g10. i've a canon dslr (1ds) and an sd790is and a leica d-lux 4 (aka panasonic lumix LX3). the lx3/dlux4 is its primary competitor, and i've spent time with some micro four-thirds (EP1, GF1), so i feel pretty good about this assessment
pros
+ very usable zoom range (28mm-140mm in 35mm terms). LX3/DLux4 is 24-60.
+ fantastic controls. love the EV compensation dial and the ISO dial. works well with gloves, and one-handed. you can grab out of your pocket and turn it on in one swift motion, and the camera will be ready before you are to take the shot. LX3/Dlux4 very hard to use one handed or gloved.
+ @ ISO 80, the 14 megapixels go to great use
+ wide set of peripherals available (the waterproof case is pretty awesome)
cons
- horrible iso noise going above 200. in fact, in iso HI mode, the camera avoids going over 200 even though it gives me a 0.5 to 1 second exposure! LX3/Dlux4 is decent at 800-1600, especially black and white.
- very slow lens. starts at f/2.8. you cannot shoot hand held without a flash indoors. contrast with LX3/dlux4 which lets me shoot at f/2.0
- noticeably bulkier and heavier than LX3/Dlux4
- wider 24mm lens would be helpful.
- 480p movie recording only, no high-def
i originally got the g10 to help me document a roadtrip (the one handed use is great for driving, and it had a versatile zoom range. i did have to use my 16-35 for wider shots though), and for that purpose it rocked, except when it got dark. it was also not very discreet (not very pocketable)
knowing what i know now, i would have gone with a panasonic GF1, with kit zoom and 20mm f/1.7...the GF1 (and EP1/EP2) high iso performance blow both the LX3, G11 and G10 away, and they are far more compact than a DSLR. the lx3/dlux4 is still great for indoors or surreptitious street shooting.
however, if you're shooting static subjects in bright light, the g10 is hard to beat.
