A review of the Powershot G10
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.
The G10 features a 28mm wide angle lens and also offers a 5x zoom. Optical Image Stabilisation helps you to keep the image sharp even at the long end of the zoom – important in the event that you can’t hand-hold a camera as steadily as previously. The image stabilisation feature should mean that more of your shots will come out sharp.
The LCD display is a 3.0-inch Pure Color LCD II screen. That makes it much easier to line up your shots – you won’t need to squint anymore to see what’s on the screen. If you’ve never used a large lcd screen 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 everyone will enjoy.
The Powershot G10 is truly a stunning example of engineering and design. You can safely say that it will be a more practical and a better alternative to an SLR. Although it’s not the smallest digital ‘compact’ on the market, it’s probably one of the best specified and well designed cameras available today.
