My G10 was the best digital camera I ever owned. No issues nor complain until after 3 years of heavy use. The retractable lens cover started rubbing against the lens and left a scratch visible in the pictures. Got that fixed by the factory for a reasonable cost. A year later, the upper left corner of the pics show dark clouds that are bad enough that it shows on all the pics, unless it is a dark background. i have used the camera heavily @ 3000 pics a month. Not sure if the camera was built to withstand such usage. For the cost of getting repaired and the price of a new one, I chose to buy a new camera with the latest technology, warranty and possibly more durable.

This is the camera I always take with me. Small enough so it doesn't stay at home but still takes high enough quality images and offers enough features to handle 95% of what I want to do. I fell off a mountain, landed on this camera and it still works fine. I love it.

Love the size and crispness of the lens, but slow in low light and speed.

Great Cimoact camera, picture quality is great, especially at low light conditions.

This camera is lack of the basic but very important of the digital cameras. It does not have time/date stamp. How can you tell when the pictures were taken after couple months. The much cheaper ones even have this feature. Very ridiculous.

I use this mainly for shooting the grandkids and time when I reaaly want to travell light. The viewfinder is usless as it only covers a fration of the actual image. Guessing where to aim it is a real art in itself. All in all it is a very nice camera especially in it's class.

This is a great camera for anyone that wants a DSLR but does not want to pay for one. It does draw short of a true DSLR, but has almost the same capabilties. You can't change the lens, manual focus is in a rough form and does not have HD video mode like the G9. I use it for racing, diving and even special shots like a DSLR. Once you learn all the different modes this will surely meet your expectations, unless you really need a DSLR. I previously had a G9 which had the 720p video that is now gone on the G10. This I miss the most. Don't understand why they did this. Also the Dive case does not allow for the rotary dial on the select nobe to be used. Overall this a great camera.

I read several reviews about cameras and even asked questions about what I was looking for. I chose the G10 based on what I heard. This is a Good quality camera. I love the quality and functions but the performance as far as indoor sport shots(volleyball and the continuous shooting feature are in need of improvement.

O.K. I've had several CANON cameras including several AE-Programs and the SD1000. This is the ONLY camera that I've ever had where the RED EYE actually works. Just took a photo of four sleeping barnswallows. It turned out that two of them opened their eyes because the flash went off (I'm learning the camera features. The second time I tried to take the photo, one opened his eyes and looked at me directly like, "What are you doing?" No red eye. I've been waiting to get a "G" for three years. Finally, thank you, Canon.

This camera makes me feel like a pro! The manual that comes with it is pretty weaksauce, but if you play around with it, you learn it quickly.

Recently spent 26 days on a Western Med and transAtlantic cruise. I have D5 MkII SLR and several lenses but this is the only camera I took with me. It performed perfectly in all conditions from dim light inside churches to bright sunlight. I don't regret leaving the SLR home at all.

Another fine Canon product. Even dropped it on a rock while hiking and it's still firing away, no problems.

I've owned my G10 for two years and pretty much put my 30D in the closet. I do a lot of local traveling on a motorcycle and take photos when I can. This images have been great. Put a Canon speed light on indoors and get great bounce flash images. All was great until today when the strap came off. I thought the strap itself came undone. Further inspection revealed not 1 the the screws that held the strap loop to the camera had come out but 3 of the 6 screws that hold the body together have worked themselves out.

The G10 takes the best macro pictures on the appropriate setting, without a separate macro lens. I love the weight; a little heavier than a point and shoot, but so much easier for me to handle than a big SLR. I frequently use a tripod with it also. Battery life is great! I find excellent low-light performance. All settings are true to their name, especially RAW setting that produces fantastic colors and wonderful capture of light and shading. Tough construction (I am disabled and have dropped it more than once).. All the control buttons are easy to manipulate.

Nice Camera! Prefer the G10 body over that of the G11 body. Don't really care for the swing out display. Also, I shoot outdoor photos and architecture. It would be nice to have a wider angle. A G10 body style, the current features, and a 24mm wide angle lens would make the deal!. I know there is a screw on wide angle adapter, but really. Build-in the 24mm wide angle, get rid of the swing out display, and keep all the other features. I'd say NICE!!

I've used this camera for five months now. I love it. It's easy to use. The screen is big and bright. You can see the picture on the screen, where with my last camera, the screen was so tiny that I had to wait until I put the pictures on the computer to be able to see them. I can take pictures in a dark room and they turn out light enough. The battery lasts long. I bought an extra one so that I can replace it immediately when it dies. It has almost 15 mega pixels. My last camera had three. These pictures are so sharp and clear. I recommend setting the camera to reduce red eye. I finally did that and now there's no red eye in the pictures. I also bought a memory card and a case. I'm very happy with the Canon G10.

Great camera, all the bells and whistles... A lot to learn but the basics have suited me just fine, I use a DSLR as my primary camera, still this is a great camera. I have utilized my 550 flash with this camera with fabulous results...a little awkward with that big flash, onboard flash works exceptionally well when bounce is not required.

Positive: Compact range finder, rugged metal body, usable features, feels comfortable in the hand, equivalent picture quality to cheap DSLR if taken in well lit circumstance, big bright LCD, viewfinder for bright outdoor shooting. * Negative: So-so lens w/ barrel distortion at wide angle, Images show significant digital noise in low light, slow shooting in low lighty, important shooting adjustments require accessing menu. * I'm waiting for Canon to release a nice compact rangefinder w/ interchangeable lenses and a better image sensor.

Aloha as an amature photographer, I have to say this camera by far exceeds every other digi. cam i have ever bought. both video and stills are the best. I have archived everything in my life with it last year since i bought this camera in Germany, I was on tour with Simply Red and the memories that this camera has given me is absolutely incredible!!! the very best than all others, none will replace it until i become a full fledged photographer. I'm even thinking about doing a video shoot with this camera and making a DVD for sale and see if anyone could tell the difference between some High Def video camera and the G10!!! wish me luck!!! mahalo nui (thank you very much) Uncle Willie K

I bought this camera as a replacement for canon A570IS. I am very happy with it, I was intimidated at first but then I found youtube videos and it all became clear. It takes great pictures and fits in my purse. The battery life is good too. I bought a second battery, for emergencys. I also bought the opteka lens package that is supposed to be compatible with the G10, but I found them unsatisfactory. Even though this camera can add lenses, it isn't necessary. I am very happy with this camera.

This is an outstanding camera! The image quality is fantastic and the controls are easy to access. I upgraded from a G7 and was especially glad to see exposure control now a dial instead of a menu selection. I use the underwater housing extensively. This takes great shots in good lighting. Not so good at High ISO low light. Very noisy at anything over ISO 400 with little to be done to control it. So far the best non-SLR camera I've used both above and below the water.

This camera was amazing! I LOVE the screen, i find that to be something i look for in camera. I love some settings, such as being able to pick one color to stand out from a black and white photo. The quality of picture is great. One thing that dissappoints me is not being able to have lenses. I would highly recommend this camera!

I absolutely love the Cannon G10. I was going to buy the G11, but I am a student and therfore I didnt want to worry about breaking off the LCD screen that was able to rotate. I picked the regular LCD screen and its wonderful! It is huge and allows you to really view the image quality of the picture. The functions are great. I have done a lot of traveling and it is a very easy to use camera WITHOUT all the bulk! I recommend this to any college student. You get great images and you dont have to worry about a huge lens sticking out all the time. It is also a great camera to take into Clubs. Takes wonderful night and sunset shots. I also got it for a great price, so that is another reason why I purchased the camera.

I bought this as a carry around camera when I couldn't take my Nikon D300. And, for a small compact camera, it more than meets my expectations. I won't hesitate to use it as a back up camera, as well.

I'm a faithful Canon user and the G10 is packed with features. I use it when I don't want to lug around my digital SLR. It's quality is impressive. It's battery life has surprised me, it can go along time between chargings. It's not lightweight or slim, but considering that it's one notch down from an SLR, I'm still impressed with it's size.
