 The G10 is a Canon blunder--here's why November 23, 2008
I have many Canon cameras--35mm film and DSLR models. I bought the G10 to give to someone. However, I soon learned that this model is flawed. It's a great camera for shots in perfect outdoor light situations, but when the ISO increases the images are the worst pixilated images I've seen. For example, at ISO 400 and minus 1 stop exposure, even RAW images aren't recoverable. At ISO 200 you'll have to work in Photoshop to get a good image.
Generally, photographers consider that the small sensors used in P&S cameras barely make the grade--they can't handle low-light and the on camera flash is an out of control light-source. The G10 goes a long way to prove how bad it can get with a P&S.
That said, the reason I purchased the G10 from Amazon is because of their no-hassle refund and I'm glad I did in this case.
 great camera November 23, 2008
this is a great camera.
I used to shoot with a Canon 5D that has exceptional image quality but being too bulky with lenses I rarely took it in trips.
the Canon G10 on the other hand is very easy to pack and carry around and the image quality is very good also . has so many features , it takes time to learn how to really use them all.
I highly recommend it to people who care about good quality photo equipment !
it is an excellent tool in the hand of creative photographers.
The prefect point and shoot November 22, 2008

I'm a semi-pro photographer. I own several Canon SLRs. I wanted an easy-to-carry, feature-packed, "sneaky cam" -- something that I could take great shots with that would not bring attention to me. This camera is absolutely perfect. 0 complaints. I LOVE that most of the camera settings have a dial or button right on the camera (I hate software menus); ISO, Exposure, Aperture, shutter, manual mode dials are all easily accessible.
If you're looking for a camera that shoots in RAW and takes stunning pictures, this one is for you.
G10 exceeds expectations November 18, 2008

The G10 is an amazing camera. I bought it two weeks ago based on Michael Reichman's (luminouslandscape website) and Thom Hogan's (bythom[...]) reviews. I am an advanced amateur/prosumer -- I sell fine art landscapes, and have been photographing for about 35 years.
The G10 is heavy at about a pound, but I like the heft. It is quite compact (at least from my perspective) -- the lens fully retracts and it will fit in a large jacket pocket. I have a medium-large Zing pouch I put it in and carry in my backpack, or alternatively put the Zing pouch on my belt loop.
I'm astonished at the image quality and functionality offered by the G10. I haven't shot any jpegs, only RAW (using DPP to process RAW; the RAW images will no doubt be more malleable with other software when they support the G10 -- DPP is fairly limited). In RAW, at ISO 80 on a tripod, I think the detail rendered by the G10 exceeds or at least equals the Canon 5D. It may have a weaker or virtually no AA filter.
The lens on the G10 is fantastic. There is very little resolution fall off, even wide open, edge to edge and into the corners.
In my mind, the closest equivalent to the G10 is a Fuji 645 medium format rangefinder (remember the small zoom range Fuji 645 compact?), but the G10 is better in almost every way. The G10 is far lighter and more compact, offers a great zoom range (and is sharp throughout the zoom range) and image stabilization, and has enough resolution to produce fine art quality prints, up to 18" or 24" in the long dimension without stitching.
I think the G10 is opening up a whole new world of landscape, street photography possibilities, and what about the incredible macro versatility?
There is a substantial drop off in image quality from ISO 200 to ISO 400 on the G10, but ISO 400 is still very very good (again shooting RAW), much better than the panasonic LX3 that I tried for a week or two at ISO 400.
I must be crazy. I can't believe a compact with such a small sensor can render detail this well. I'm seeing the G10 as a whole new tool that will open up different possibilities and different ways of seeing (and have different limitations than a Canon DSLR). I haven't been this excited about a photographic tool since I purchased my Canon 5D over 3 years ago.
The Canon G10 offers "automatic" settings that I haven't tried. For an advanced photographer it offers a wealth of manual controls and customization, which I'm still learning. One very nice touch is that the custom settings on the top dial (there are two) allow you to save the zoom settings and manual focus setting -- so I have one saved at a 35mm focal length equivalent and another at a 50mm equivalent. This allows quick, street shooting, similar to what one can do with a Leica rangefinder, though the G10 has a much different look given the virtually infinite depth of field due to the small sensor.
FAST & RELIABLE Canon G10 November 16, 2008
The G10 will respond right away, it won't jam like the typical point and shoot cameras that the moment is gone by the time you get to take the picture. Various shooting modes and the lighting techniques from cloudy to tungsten light make it very nice for setting the mood. The only problem as I have read from previous reviews, at night it's quite grainy. Most of this is solved with flash but sometimes you don't want it. I recommend you adjust the exposure and shoot manually.
