Great image quality. Awesome architecture and build. Full gamut of features.

Image quality fell a few inches short of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. Canon should have capped the PowerShot G10 at 10-megapixels.

Dials abound on this camera. The Canon PowerShot G10 is equipped with a mode dial that rests atop an ISO dial, a configuration that resembles a two-layer cake. We loved the instant gratification of shifting to a particular ISO level right after ...

Straight up, the 14.7-megapixel Canon PowerShot G10 just looks cool. There's something appealing about its old-school rangefinder styling, and the little lights that glow orange next to the old-timey ISO and EV compensation dials. What's more, this is ...

Appealing design for prosumers and pros RAW mode

Can be slow to focus Spotty ISO performance at 400 and up

Overall, the Canon PowerShot G10 was a pleasure to use, but I wish the company had focused more on noise control instead of just cramming in more megapixels. I loved carrying this sturdy camera around and I appreciated its highly useful dials, but for ...
