Powershot G10 Review
The PowerShot G10 uses a 14.7 megapixels high definition CCD sensor. Although it’s simplistic to say that more pixels equals a better picture, it certainly doesn’t hurt and it offers you a lot more cropping possibility.
Unlike, say the Canon A590IS model, which is geared to amateurs, the Powershot G10 is very much a prosumer model. The list of features alone make that clear.
Featuring a wide angle lens of 28 m.m. and couples that with a 5x zoom. Optical Image Stabilisation keeps the image sharp even when using the long end of the zoom – important in the event that you can’t hand-hold a camera as steadily as before. The benefit of the image stabliser is that more of your shots will come out sharp.
The monitor screen is a 3.0-inch Pure Color LCD II screen. That makes it much easier to line up your shots – there’ll be no squinting to see what’s on the screen. If you’ve never used a large lcd monitor digital camera before then you’ll be astonished at just how much easier it makes life. The Canon Powershot offers a really beautiful display.
The famed Canon Digic 4 processor has been added. Fancy names and acronyms aside, the DIGIC 4 offers faster operation and enhanced image quality – something we all appreciate.
The Powershot G10 is truly a stunning example of engineering and design. For most people it will be a more practical alternative to an SLR. Although it’s not the smallest digital ‘compact’ on the market, it’s probably one of, if not the best specified and well designed cameras available today.
