    16 years later, I just picked one of these up from eBay. Honestly, I love it. I, like many, have fallen into the convenience of using my phone, but it has no thought process or love in it. This little camera fits in my pocket and gets me thinking before taking a shot. Small sensor, but who cares? The quality is decent. Love the fact I have control again and creativeness. Everyone who likes taking photos should ditch their phone.

    I used to have a Canon G7X and it broke. So I decided I wasn't going to spend that kind of money again on a camera. So I bought a G10 for 1/4 the price of a G7X. I absolutely love it. It does almost everything the G7X did and it takes great pictures. This camera was definitely ahead of its time

      The G10 sensor is much smaller though - do you notice much quality difference in low light with noise?

      Which sensor are you referring to? the auto focus? Light sensor for automatic?

      @@cameralabs I didn't know that about the light sensor...thanks. I take very few pictures in low light, so it's really not gonna bother me too much. But for the price that I paid for the G10, I'll take it. I took it to the mountais yesterday along with a tripod and got some absolutely beautiful pics. Last week I took some great pics at a car show. I am starting to get pretty good at using this camera in different modes and changing the settings. A little practice goes a long way

    @cameralabs  16 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's not a dumb question at all! What you're asking for is called a depth-of-field preview, but sadly the G10 and most other compacts as far as I know don't offer it. But then with most compacts, the depth of field is already large even with small f-numbers, so the out-of-focus effect is hard to achieve - see the gallery in the G10 review at cameralabs . com...

  • @cameralabs
    @cameralabs  16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi GDfromSMSA, I'm not sure what the exact construction of the G10 is, but it's very solid. As a non-DSLR it does have live view - that's what you saw of the lake and the face detection parts in the video. As for the 580EXII, I'd like to do a review, but it could be some time - there's several owners on the cameralabs forum though if you fancy asking them about it.

  • @cameralabs
    @cameralabs  16 ปีที่แล้ว

    It really depends which features are most important to you. If you want the 20x zoom and flip-out screen, then the SX10 IS is a better choice, but as you said, if you prefer RAW and the style of the G10, then maybe it would be better - only you know which features are more important to you personally! But feel free to discuss your options further in the cameralabs forum...

  • @cameralabs

  • @cameralabs

    It depends what you're looking for - zoom range or the most pixels in the image. Take a look at the results and gallery pages on the G10 and FZ28 reviews at cameralabs . com to see which you prefer. There's also examples of their zoom ranges on the features pages.

  • @cameralabs

    It's actually by a lake in Queenstown, New Zealand! But a big lake, so sometimes it seems like the Sea!

  • @cameralabs

    Hi mertinanc, I think you're confusing optical zoom with digital zoom. It is not possible to optically zoom the lens while filming.

  • @cameralabs
    @cameralabs  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @KoSoVaAnGeL The G10 cannot optically zoom while filming - it can only use a digital zoom which just crops and enlarges a portion in the middle of the frame, thereby reducing quality. A digital zoom is not the same as an optical zoom.

  • @cameralabs
    @cameralabs  16 ปีที่แล้ว

    There's no competition! Definitely the 450D - or indeed almost any DSLR - if you want to shoot action. The G10 only shoots at 1.3fps (without AF) so you'll typically only have a chance to shoot one frame before the action's gone. Feel free to discuss this further in the cameralabs forums...

  • @cameralabs

    I can't promise anything, but may do the 990IS in the future. In the meantime, have a great time in QT, and keep an eye open for me snapping away! PS - I have a list of tips for QT in the Travel section of the cameralabs . com forum...

    I have now the Canon Powershot G 10. Wonderful camera! One question.. the LCD screen is so big that I get finger prints on it real easy. 1) does this matter and how to avoid? would the ant glare screen be useful?

  • @devilcry20005
    @devilcry20005 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you film these reviews from your own home or at an office? Either way, I noticed you have a beautiful view. Great compact as well. Cannon has some really nice compacts. I only have the Powershot A590IS, but still the quality is unbelievable. No HD with the G10 is upsetting though. A lot of newer compacts are getting at least 720p video recording.

  • @Aannon
    @Aannon 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there is one fairly important feature that did not survive the transfer from G9-G10. I was surprised to see that the Time Lapse mode has been completely omitted. (If anyone knows otherwise let me know). I found this to be more than just a gimmick and was sad to see it missing. Also, am i wrong in saying that the G9 actually had better video resolution? (wasn't it like 1024 or something?)
    Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

    It might be the shooting mode you're in. If you're in auto, try switching to the programmable, manual, or aperture/shutter priority modes and then see if you can use RAW.

    @fairbasa 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review as usual.
    Any chance of a review of the IXUS 990 IS? I'm trying to work out what compact to use as a pocketable video recording backup to my 40D when traveling. Either the G10, the SX1, or the IXUS 990.
    You're also very lucky to live in Queenstown, as you have great subject matter to test the cameras on. I'm heading over there in July and will give my 40D and Tokina 12-24 a work-out.

  • @cameralabs
    @cameralabs  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Remember the zooming while filming with the G10 is digital, not optical - so you do lose quality while doing so.

    i can't help but wonder if a g10 will suffer from dusty lens problems as the previous g9. i've had first hand experience and bunch of problems with that, so i'm afraid of the same issue arising again. for my current needs, i'm thinking of maybe trying out the sx1, so can't wait for your review on that one. always enjoying watching your very interesting videos.

    Are the ISO Noise issues really that much of an obtrusive problem in regards to image quality at higher ISO settings? I've read from a couple reviewers that the noise at anything over a couple hundred ISO is annoying. How would you compare this camera to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3?

    Does the g10 still have the mode where if you have it focus on one color that it will bring out that color and everything else will be black and white?

    I keep this camera with me at all times. When my 5D Mark II isn't handy, it's a great workhorse that captures fantastic images in decent light. It's built like a tank and has every feature a photographer could want. Where it's definitely not a DSLR is in low light. You'll need a good noise reduction app in your tool kit if you shoot at ISO over 400. I use Noise Ninja profiled for the G10 in Aperture with RAW.

  • @mertinanc

    it is possible to zoom in and out while capturing a video.

  • @cameralabs
    @cameralabs  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @jqwalls For good quality in low light, you'll need a DSLR, but they can't focus as close as a G10 / G11 without fitting a macro lens. So it depoends how much you want to spend. a DSLR with a macro lens would be perfect, but it'll cost a lot more than a G10 / G11.

  • @c2thew

    Hello, I currently have a JVC video camcorder with the ability to take photos. I was never really satisfied with its image quality because there always seems to be a lot of noise in the picture. Anyways i was checking out the G10 in the store and i was surprised to find that the same problem was visible on the screen.I tried changing the ISO and a couple of other things but nothing seemed to reduce this noise (almost looks likes dancing pixels). Anyways, any clue what is causing this?

  • @alpinewonders
    @alpinewonders 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good review, thanks.
    I`m looking for a high-end compact that focuses by moving lens elements that are behind the diaphragm, so that the entrance pupil of the lens does not move at all. This would enable me to stack photos in Helicon software, perhaps from 1:1 to infinity so as to get infinite depth-of-field, without parallax issues. I understand the Canon A710 and 620 definitely have this characteristic. Would you know if the G10 does too? Thanks

    As soon as I saw "Canon Powershot G10" I was freaking out, I just bought a G9 this summer and i've been thoroughly enjoying it. But I see the improvements are minor. From 12.1 MP to 14.7 I think you said, not much of a difference I guess. The improved face detection though, is Fantastic. All in all, it seems quite close to the G9. Panic session over.

    It doesn't have less features than the G10.. the only thing that went lower is the Pixel count which fell to 10MP.. which is better for using high ISO without producing much noise.. also it has much better pixel ratio.. also the flash sync is 4x faster..

    It's actually a good thing that you cant zoom while filming as it is always a horrible thing to do and the mark of the amateur. You will notice that you rarely see a zoom during a professional film unless for a very specific effect. The zoom was invented to allow users to preframe shots as wanted, not to move forward and back during filming, for that you use a dolly. Anyway, the g10 is a still camera, the movie function is a superfluous.function. Get a dedicated vidcam.
