Canon Powershot G10: First Look Review

[AleseaStokesene38]

hucant seem to find a man who ill treat me like a princess

[ieden5432]

g10 is 14.7 megapixels and the g11 (higher number) has 10 megapixels? any explanation?

[Unstung]

The megapixels do not matter much. A camera can have 20 megapixels versus one with 10 that has a much better sensor and quality. Even ten megapixels is plenty.

The G11 may also have better ISO settings, less noise, etc. It's pointless nowadays to look for megapixels on a camera unless one is going to may very large prints.

Although, the G11 may not have many advantages versus the G10, so it would be worth it to save some money and go with the G10.

[briggs9187]

@ieden5432 I got the G11, it is a bigger sensor that packs a Digic 4 sensor for better Pixel density count, bassically, less pixels more picture quality through a better sensor. Pixels is only what you can see, but a better sensor allows you to see with more clarity.

[kolplam]

she messed up the screen size with the sensor size XD

[Windex32lvr]

G10 or G11?

[marcotogniphoto]

g10.

[diffusedlight]

Yummy.

Camera's not too shabby either.

[smartcookie336]

which camera should I buy?

im thinking either the canon G10 or the nikon p6000, any suggestions?!

Please reply back thanks, because I need to camera next week :)

[j0vencio]

The Canon G10 is a little bit superior than the Nikon P6000.

You understand that these types of camera are the Prosumer types, meaning that it is for the avid photographer that needs the functionality of a DSLR in a compact body.

And you might consider the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. Very good in Low Light conditions, the downside is it has no Optical View Finder and the Zoom is limited to just 2.5x. But picture quality is far better than the two camera you mentioned.

[Draftgon]

Glad to hear that, I just bought the Leica D-Lux 4 (twin of the Panasonic LX3). Aperture 2.0 is just amazing indeed.

[N789A]

Can u help me?:) I have to buy my first camera and i dont know which is the best one Canon G10 or Lumix G1?

[j0vencio]

The Panasonic Lumix G1 is a micro four-thirds (4/3) camera which means you have the quality of an SLR in a small-lightwieght compact body. The Lumix G1 is more flexible that the G10 as the G1 offers interchangeable lens.

So for my opinion, the Lumix G1 is great if you're not concerned with your budget.

:)

[N789A]

Thanks for your comment :) I thought the same:)It seems that Lumix G1 is my Fate & i like it :)Thanks Once Again : )

[j0vencio]

Glad i could be of help.

[sunbeam11]

If anyone's interested, I bought one of these a month ago and am delighted with it. You need to know what you're doing - don't use Auto or P if you can help it, try and use Manual exposure and post process RAW in the very good software for mac and pc provided. It is a bit noisy at iso above 200, but that's the only drawback.

[TangDynasty83]

how's the low light quality?

[sunbeam11]

LIke I said not wonderful, in fact my 1.3 MP ancient olympus does better there, but that's the price of shoving 14MP onto a small sensor! Yes a DSLR will do better in low light, but you have to carry around a far larger, more obtrusive camera. I don't mind the low light noise in exchange for convenience.

[Delaypat]

Won this camera in a contest and it is AWESOME! Having a blast with it, and for free..LOL!

[jeclone]

i think the ccd measurement being in inches through her off. if it was in mm she might have realized that the screen is much bigger then 1 inch ,also the metric unit for ccd size is in Square MM not the old tube sizes like 1/1.7"

[quickystoner]

This dreadful quality "review|" has the power to turn Cannonb'ds business off. She sounds like she does not understand the script she has been asked to recite. Notable is her referring to the 1/1.7" lcd screen. Duh!

[JcWhatCounts20]

Screw this review. Go watch digitalrev's reviews. Megawhat is a joke.

[purepleasure7]

WHICH POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA SHOULD I BUY AROUND 180-220EURO ???? PowerShot SX 110 IS OR FUJIFILM F 100FD IS BETTER??? GIVE ME SOME HELP AND IDEAS THNX

[TurtleVVisperer]

MegaWhatTV- all of your reviews suck.

[viktorgoa]

its £340 from the internet now, this video is a bit old

[MooseOfReason]

I didn't know the internet delivered.

[xxXxxEmoKiDxxXxx]

can any1 help me?!

i have a budget of £200 for a camera

and know nothing of them...

what should i buy?

this sounds like a maths exam question...

hmmm

[JcWhatCounts20]

Do research. That's what everyone else did. We can;t help you determine your camera based off of your budget. It depends on what you need/want in a camera and what features you're looking for. SInce your name is xxxxxEmoKidxxxxx, I assume you wont need something to elaborate to take those overhead, self held, myspace pictures.

[xxXxxEmoKiDxxXxx]

wow, that's so sterotypical

i don't even have a myspace

[FlorinU]

Hi, for 200 you can try the new Canon A2000 IS. Pretty good camera for the money.

[J1MB01]

Did they even watch the video before they put it on youtube :|

[daveawebber]

have i been here before!!!!

[MooseOfReason]

Hell of a review there. She just rattled off the specs.

And did she say the LCD was 1 1/7 inches? Please, that looks at least 3 inches!

[Pingletons]

Judging by her accent, I'd say she's not very familiar with the Imperial system:) You're right though, The screen on the back of that must be around 3 inches.

[dubya13207]

the screen is 3 inches...i think she may have been confused by the fact that the sensor is a 1/1.7 size...maybe?

[tanhockjun]

LOL,you are right,the LCD is 3 inches but i think the 1 1/7 inch is the size of the CCD sensor.

[hanzakbar]

" One, One Point Seven LCD screen at the back"

WTF Lady??

[hopeless128]

this is embarresing

[xxwalkamongusxx]

i just got mine today it owns

[vitto]

Megacrap..the girl cute but she doesnt know nothing abouth cameras

[yurity]

I'm not sure she knew what she was talking about

[JcWhatCounts20]

Megawhat... Your reviews are horrible. Just letting you know. When your girl tells us the size of the sensor instead of the LCD screen... yeah.

[ejkaull]

A friend lent me his G9 - INSANE!!!!

Now, I cannot get it and I'm nervous about the

G10 - any opinions ?

[JcWhatCounts20]

Get a DSLR if you're going to spend that kind of money. A nikon d40 is about the same price and it's wayyyy better.

[ejkaull]

Thanks for the advice.

[coaldust01]

Er what about size, Not everybody wants to carry a heavy DSLR with lens, DSLR biggest downfull is size and weight.

[JcWhatCounts20]

I was talking about her inability to differentiate between the size of the SENSOR and the size of the LCD. Not the camera itself.

[coaldust01]

I take my comment back, Just got a d40 and theres no comparison

[JcWhatCounts20]

Good. If you want a quality camera, buy a DSLR, forget these so called "higher end" point and shoot cameras. They don't do anything more than the regualr PASs.

[vitto]

if u want amazing shot use the DSLR

[thegreat0mi]

that CAN be true... but this digic is a rangefinder and it takes brilliant photos. i just bought it and taking 1/30 shuts with iso 800 at f3.5 at dusk is nothing to sneer at for a fast camera. theres a dial for ISO, backlight comp, and a wheel that you can swap between aperture, shuts, and manual F (if you dont wanna use AF), or 2 saved presets for those last 3 functions. theres also a telephoto lens and a speedflash you can buy for it. like hell you cant get amazing pics from this.

[2Fathom]

"if u want amazing shot use the DSLR"?

An "amazing shot" has infinitely more to do with the moment and photographers skill than what camera.

DSLRs usually sit at home or a car trunk. Serious photohounds often carry a high end compact such as Canon G or Lumix DMC-LX (for obvious reasons).

Even when I carry my DSLR I carry a compact. The G9 fits a Pelican 1020 Micro Case in pants cargo pocket or even many button down shirt pockets in a zip lock bag.

And all PASs the same... ROFLMAO!!!

[brotherkaka]

..am planning to buy this one if not g10,i'm just a casual photographer not yet even amateur.. photography is my hobby. do you suggest this one?

[MauriceFlower]

I agree with you. You really can not compare. This is a POCKET camera! Of course it is hard for that camea to do the same job as a very large DSLR camera!!

[levraiartist]

sorry, for 489 Euros and not 449!!!

[levraiartist]

I was waiting until the g9 gets cheaper...but know for me there is no doubt that the g10 has some really incredible features which the g 9 doesn't: Just the one with the wider angle an with this the bigger amount of light which comes through the objective is worth to go for the g10.Here in Germany it will be available for 449 Euros, officially for 550.

[reemaazizotaishan]

I'v just bought this camera and it's awsome

i bought it from B&H and it's 499$

[AmericanGatoona]

There's an option to lower the MP count on this camera, so having 15 MP is an extra option to this package.

[herojig]

i just wish there were decent reviews on this cam...it's been out long enough. frustrating!

[averezzi]

3.0 PureColor LCD II (461k dots resolution) with wide viewing angle and optical viewfinder

[Lazalaza]

Correction: The size of "1/1.7 in" is the that of the sensor, not the LCD screen in the back! The size of the LCD screen is 3 inch.

From this glitch, I think the lady knows little about camera, and she is just reading lines from the script, and even that, she got it screwed up....!

[jacoby308]

lol!!

[weing]

Would be a awesome camera if it had a 6 megapixel sensor. 14 mp just means you cant use this thing below 200 ISO.

What a waste.

[bababibi1991]

look like a tank.....

[tbird2006]

Did she say it would retail in the UK for 650 GBP? That's over $1,200! Why???

The same camera here in the US can be pre-ordered for 500 USD ( 277 GBP).

This is just not right.

[SRHawk24]

in the US its $500

[baldurus1]

The Lumix FZ18 is smaller cheaper and better.

And it has a 18X zoom.

And the extra 6Mp that the Canon has, are useless.

[jodde73]

Eh...The FZ18 is NOT smaller 117.6 x 75.3 x 88.2 mm G10

109 x 78 x 46 mm, Lumix is 10g heavier.

The Lumix can not save RAW format, has no flash shoe, can only do 10fps in movies (really bad) has a smaller sensor

1/2.5" G10 has 1/1.7" more zoom I can agree, but better, forget about it. When it comes to button and handling. Canon is a killer and it's built lika a tank!!!!

[AjnabiZ]

I was just thinking of buying a Canon G9, i think ill have to wait and see how Canon G10 performs.

[1650million]

Too many megapixels for such a small sensor.

Too big and heavy to carry around comfortably, even securing it with your belt.

Too expensive for what it is.

Just my opinion.

[buptor]

may be,but have you got one?

[jhonatancastillo]

It's the best compact on market at this moment. Furthermore, the sensor it´s not too small as in the ultra compact cameras.
