- The Only Street Camera You Need? - Canon Powershot G10
After being inspired by @paulcookphotography backroads americana instagram, I took a walk around one of my home town's industrial areas to capture some Urban Nastiness with the Canon Powershot G10

I absolutely love this camera. Had mine for over a decade, does everything I need. I sold off my other cameras. I got tired of changing lenses on vacation, carrying all the extra gear, and always searching for the latest and greatest thing. I am not a pro, and this handles everything I shoot
Yes, I'm totally with you on the camera and the subject matter. I've still got my Canon G10 which I bought new years ago. It still works great. Even if I ignore it for a year, I get it out and the battery is still fully charged. I took one of my shots ever with this camera. I'm super attracted to urban decay and things being taken back by nature, and signage, faded worn out signs, painted on brick buildings, wooden signs, metal signs with rust. It's all appealing to me.
I love the thing. I’ve been tempted to look at some of the newer models like the g16, but then I keep coming back to the g10 and wondering if there’s even a point. As for the urban decay, I can’t get enough of it.
Thanks for watching 🖖
Absolutely fantastic photos David! I just loooooove brickwork!
My brother and sister-in-law gave me one for shooting their wedding in 2009, I think it was. Love that is has RAW format and I like the way Garry Knight sets his up.
I've got a G15 for my everyday carry, went for it because of the fast lens throughout the range and reasonable ISO performance (and love it), always wanted to give one of the older CCD sensor models a go.
Thanks for the recommendation mate. Just picked up one of these in amazing condition for 80 Canadian dollars. So pumped. I can’t believe how fun it is to shoot with this camera.
Oh that’s a bargain! It’s great fun isn’t it, I absolutely love shooting with mine. Thanks for watching 🖖
Yes, stuff like this is super cool.
Thanks for the video
I shoot with a Canon G11 and G15. Great cameras for the times when I want to shoot with only one lens and one body.
Great shots man :) nice vid :)
Lol. In the 90s the band I was in rehearsed over weekends in the change room of a granite and marble supply company in an old industrial area! 😂 I am with you. Tjat is a great little camera and a very useful bit of kit to keep in your everyday carry.
My battered old G9 goes out with me everywhere now, since those original G10 videos you made at the beach. I’ve now just started taking street photos and the G9 (12.1MP CCD, f2.8-4.8, 35-210mm equiv.) has given me similarly pleasing results. It’s heavy and chunky but rugged and reliable (apart from the OVF which aims a little above the AF point). Thanks for the inspiration to have a go!
Haha, the ovf is pretty awful for sure😂
Thanks for watching and have a good one 🖖
Nice work and lovely shots David! You nailed the atmosphere of this place with awesome colors. Hull reminds me of Bochum and the Ruhr Area, where I lived for a while. It's full of defunct old steelworks, mines, enormous slag heaps and brick buildings. Much of it has been turned into lovely recreation and conservation areas, parks and museums, like the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord, a giant former steelworks complex which was saved by activists and turned into an absolutely fascinating post-industrial park and wildlife refuge by the visionary landscape architect Peter Latz. The Guardian rates is a one of the top 10 urban parks in the world. I am great digicam enthusiast as well, my primary cameras right now, the "analog" Canon Powershot G2, which goes with me wherever I go and in my view hits the sweet spot in terms of megapixels, the Hasselblad 500 C/M and the Pentax 67. Also have a Panasonic LX3, great cam.
I bought this beauty when it was new, and had many wonderful years with it before upgrading to something more professional. This video makes me want to dig it up just to give it a spin again. Thank you!
Yeah there’s something about this thing that just makes me want to use it despite having the pro level stuff on m43 and full frame.
Thanks for watching 🖖
Lovely work. Thanks.
Great area to shoot. Love it!
Good one Dave 👍 that must have been the best weather we've had for weeks!
I took the umbrella and was half hoping for the rain to stick around but after about 10 minutes it was done😂
Pretty typical of summer 2023 lol
I love your attitude toward gear. My newest camera is a 2016 release and I often use older models like an Olympus E-P3 and an original E-M5. They are fun, and get me the shots I want.
Thanks very much. I love exploring these older cameras and whilst they of course they have their limitations, they’re still very much capable of producing great images.
Have a good one🖖
oh man the papain I felt when you said about the hype of Sony.... I sold all me new Sony models a few weeks ago BUT I kept my over 10 years old Sony Nex5n, NEX6 and A5000. I use a 30 year old lens on the on the A5000. I also document old building before they are consigned to history.
The latest cameras do far more than I want or need and are eye wateringly expensive for more pixels and things most owners will never use.
My brother has some photographs being displayed at an international art exhibition in London in a few weeks taken recently on a 20 year old 35mm film camera.
Don't believe the hype about digital cameras!!! I like your photographs and the subject matter.
On your doorstep photography, another good 'un David
Thanks, Andy. Living in a reasonably large town has it’s advantages 🖖😁
years ago i gave this camera away and lately i've been wanting a less bulky unassuming camera for walking around... i own sony gear and lenses and I don't always want to lug it about. the young guy I gave it to was just starting out getting into photography, now he's doing it for a living shooting rock concerts with nice gear... i reached out to see if he still had it and if he would consider selling it back to me, he's sending it back and I'm jazzed to get it and mess with it again after seeing your videos with it! (nice work btw)
Great vid about a great camera. Enjoyed your walkabout and your photos. Strong composition. Could have done them all in B&W IMO. lol. I have had the G10 for over ten years, bought it off a customer at the camera store I used to work at. Took it to Alaska a few years ago and used it on a skiff on the open see to photograph rocks jutting out of the ocean and puffin flitting about. The reviewers back int he day raved about its resolution at low ISOs of 80-200, even 400, and I found the image stabilization was like using a tripod. I could shoot at 1/8 or 1/15 of a second if needed in dim light.
Hey David, wonderful video! I recently just got a G10 as my first ever camera, and I’ve already got some pretty sick shots with it. Wanted to ask if you could make a video on how you approach your photo editing, I think that is a skill I lack as a beginner.
I love my G10, Portable, Capable and Fun in it's own fashion.
I'm sure I left a comment, but I think TH-cam has eaten it. What an awesome set of shots on this one David, I love old buildings so this one is right up my street, particularly the old extracting building.
It’s been quite a while since TH-cam ate one of your comments, so you had a good run😂
I love that building and I’ll definitely be doing another video like this🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial That'll be awesome, they photograph so well (or at least they do when you shoot them), and that little Canon is so impressive too.
Nice video and images. I bought my first G9 in 2007 and a second one in 2017. Use them both.
Thanks for watching 🖖
Thanks!
Very kind, Jacques. Thanks for watching 🖖
I have a G15, a S95 and a S120, but have a weak spot for the G9/10s. They were the ones I fancied when I ended up with a Pentax system based around the K7 and in the end, got properly back into photography with the M43 system. I do somewhat prefer the LX series over the Canons, though.
Really like these videos on affordable cameras, inspired me to buy a g15 a week ago and I’m surprised by the look of the photos, started with an a6500 but didn’t find it much fun to use, great to have something you can fit in your pocket
I genuinely had no complaints with the images from my Sony cameras, but I completely agree, they’re no fun to use unlike cameras like this.
Thanks for watching 🖖
I’m not a good photographer, but have been interested in photography for a while and following various TH-cam photographers, more to improve my family travel photos, and seeing the gear obsession. I have come to the conclusion I think these perfect quality images are a bit boring and I don’t know maybe less artistic?
I love using old manual lenses specifically to get a less perfect look.
They sometimes give a colour cast because of coatings or distortion in the out of focus areas and I’d much rather have that than a soulless, edge to edge sharp flat looking image👍
I am a µ4/3 user, but I also still have the Canon G10 that I bought years ago, and recently found the original box in a the back of a closet still in mint condition like the camera too…
😏
Nice colours although I’d have been taking shots of all the street art rather than the industrial architecture. My G9 produces colours like your G10. Bought my G9 for £30 in a junk shop. Thought it would be just a bit of fun but it has really surprised me. Really impressed with the colours in any weather and ability to get shots quickly.
might dig out my old G9 and give it a go! (once I found the charger lol)
I have the G15 and it's a good option too.
I was looking at a G15 earlier but someone beat me to it. I think I’d like to add either a G15 or G16 to the collection. Thanks for watching 🖖
Full agree.
I have a G10 as my engineering "Crawl into nasty places camera".
Along time ago it became my convenient, any day, kids birthday etc camera (Just wipe the grease off it).
Capturing movement is tricky, so don't use it for that then !
Nicer to carry than a half ton Canon full fame with white whale lens.
Loved it. 'Post apocalyptic vibe... nature taking back' etc - very much my kind of thing too. Great material there - bet you sneak back with the 50-200 to get up close and personal with some of the details on offer. Tangental reference: have you watched Tarkovsky's 'Stalker' and, if not, do. It's a Must See for you and your wavelength (don't ask me how i know 🤨). Stay well, amigo, and thanks for the cool vid.
Haven’t seen that, but I just did a quick Google and suspect you’re right. Sounds like my idea of fun.
Thanks for watching, mate. Have a good one🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial Colours, textures, mood - the whole cinematography aspect of it - with a post-apoc / rewilding dimension. A++
I grew up with stuff like Logan’s Run and Planet of the Apes so it’s probably the old man’s fault for planting that particular seed because loves all that stuff😁
@@DavidFlowerOfficial I felt a whole lot better about the future when i saw the tip of the SoL sticking out of a beach. What goes around... etc.
I went back to this from a G12 because the screen is fixed and is not articulated. The articulated screen in the 11/12 is a failure point that is a pain in the ass to deal with and not easily, if at all, fixable.
I love this type of photography, I have a sony a390 with a ccd sensor, the minolta beercan lens, got for about £12 and the minolta 35-70 for £15, the results are not the best by todays standards but it's something about the ccd sensor that makes up for that in my opinion. Great video btw.
I think an old Sony is going to find its way into my collection very soon. Thanks for watching 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial I was using a sony nex c3 with the 18-55mm kit lens for about 5 years, wanted something with a bit more range, looked at the 55-210 but at around £150 used I couldn't afford it, always on a tight budget because I'm my disabled wifes full time carer, so decided to change to sony a mount, I also have the sony 18-70mm and a sigma 70-300mm lens, managed to get all 4 lenses for under £60, I just need to get out a bit more and take some photos :)
I have to say the photos are beautiful, definitely a camera on my radar, very underrated.
I enjoy getting as much bang for my buck re cameras, part of the joy of photography for me is getting a beautiful.image out of a budget camera.
Oh I absolutely agree. I’ve made quite a few videos using older cameras and have managed (in my opinion at least😂) to get some great images from even the most basic cameras. I always seem to get something nice with my dad’s old canon 400d and you can get those things for about £40 👍
Looking for videos about Coolpix 7100 .. Canon PowerShot G10 videos pop up.. Very nice video and photos!! Thank you!
At the end we all need to have the time to know the real potential and usage of the products.. marketing "make" miracles and then throw them away for the purpose of himself!
Excellent video! I subbed!
Can you please show us some prints?
I was going to like this until you hated on my precious 😂😂😂
Great video mate and proves there is always something to shoot in Hull, regardless of what some people think
Haha, it’s not hate if it’s true and any sane person can see that right now those prices are bonkers 😂
Thanks for watching, mate🖖😁
@@DavidFlowerOfficial I am glad I got mine before all the hype...like you say it's bonkers
Yeah and it’s now having a trickle down effect. Because people can’t get or can’t afford the big boy, the demand for the older bodies is going up too so we’re at a point now where garbage cameras like the x30 are twice the price they were just a year ago. Madness😂
This a long with the Fuji x10/x20 are so good. No better cameras for compact traveling (outside of phones)
I actually used the x30 and didn’t like the image quality compared with the G10. I’d be curious to use one of the newer Canon models to compare this ccd sensor to the more modern cmos ones🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial wasnt much of a fan of the x30 as well just because they got rid of the rangefinder
I love the colors you are getting. Are you shooting jpeg or raw? Care to elaborate about processing or an in-camera jpeg profile?
I always shoot raw just to get everything possible out of the sensor and I usually edit using my free presets as a starting point (Clearly Autumn at about 50% and fine tune from there).
I choose raw for one simple reason, you can convert raw to jpeg but not the other way around, so if you want the best possible dynamic range etc, you should shoot raw🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial where can I find those presets? Cheers.
@juanposada9319 They’re on my website, there’s a link in the description 🖖
I just bought my G10 and was wondering if there i a good tutorial out there, that explains how to adjust settings like the ones mentioned at 5:20? (I‘m new to photography)
Well program mode allows the camera to change the aperture and shutter speed for you, leaving you free to just use the dials on the top of the camera to adjust the iso and exposure compensation to fine tune things.
I don’t know of any tutorials specifically, but in most daytime situations I’ve used this camera in, P mode, iso 80 and exposure comp at -0.3 pretty much nails it. I have a few more videos with the G10 and I think I’m one of them I talk about the controls in a bit more depth🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficialThank you for the detailed answer! 🙌
I had the X100V for 5 months and swapped with MPB for other stuff. Sure it is not worth the price.
I order canon eos m10 to go back a bit and focus on proces of making photos rather the quality of picture wonder whats that camera like there was eos m3 as well for 180 quit not bad
I’ve never used any of the eos m cameras but I have noticed they seem to be holding their price since canon won’t apsc on the RF mount.
Apparently you can do some great things with the original eos m and magic lantern🖖
Those images are they SOOC or PP? B&w especially .. is it possible to get good b&w straight out of the camera?
Unless I indicate otherwise in the video they’re all Raw and processed in Lightroom. I found the JPEGs coming out of the camera a bit flat and I always shoot Raw if the camera is capable so I never tried tweaking things in camera to make the JPEGs better🖖
I just gave one as a gift to my niece. I may pick up another after I sell my X100S
is it just as much about post process now rather than the camera as such? Don't get me wrong, i also use old cameras, well 2018 models, one APS-C, one MFT. Does it really matter what you use if the image is significantly post processed after the fact?
I made a video recently proving that the camera matters very little when you shoot raw and these are all processed images. These ccd sensor cameras produce lovely JPEGs though that need very little work 👍
How would you compare the g12 and what is the price i should be looking at
I haven’t used the g12 but I know a few of the differences between that and the G10.
The G10 had the highest resolution of the original G series and from the G11 onwards the brought the megapixels down from 14.7 to around 10 on the G11 and G12. This was apparently done to improve low light performance but with such a small sensor I doubt the difference would be significant.
Regarding prices of compact cameras they seem to fluctuate quite wildly. I got my G10 for about 1/3 the price the are today but the G10 and G12 seem to be readily available for between around £150-250 here in the uk.
I've been wanting a g10-15 for awhile now, but I keep getting told autofocus is useless for anything moving? Is this true? As I want it for train spotting etc, so moving subjects. Thanks
The only moving subjects I’ve used it on really is people on the streets and never had issue with the af. With that said, with such a small sensor, everything after about 10 feet will be in relative focus even at f4👍
hi, pleae may i know if these shots are straignt outta camera with an in-camera customed settings, or just edited them on pc ?
I always shoot Raw and edit in Lightroom🖖
How would the G10 compare to the G9? Are they more or less the same?
Based on what I’ve read, the only real difference would be the resolution with the G10 having a couple more megapixels 🖖
I still have the g9….in a box somewhere
Get it out of the box, you won’t regret it🖖😁
Eh, I have over 50 cameras not in storage right now. @@DavidFlowerOfficial
Do you think the articulated screen on g11 is worth having or the higher megapixels on the g10 ?
The fixed screen on the G10 has never felt restrictive to me so I guess it depends on how you like to shoot. It’s unlikely you’ll notice the difference in resolution 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial thank you that helped alot 🙏😊
Mega pixels for sure.
I have g10. My problem is the memory card it is always error or card lock. I don't know what to do. Please help me. Also i reset it but always busy
If you’ve tried a new memory card and still get the error I’d say it’s either an incompatible card or possibly a fault with the card slot on the camera🖖
I had this camera the first time round, sold it as I thought it wasn’t good enough. Lol, should have kept it. I did shoot my honeymoon on it tho.
Been going through your videos the last 2 weeks and have really enjoyed all the content. Thanks dude.
I appreciate that, thanks very much 🖖
How does the g10 compare to the Nikon d200 ? 😮🔥
In terms of image quality I don’t know, I haven’t used the D200. In terms of size, the G10 wins hands down 🖖
Definitely G15 or G16 F1. 8 lens.
I never shoot faster than about f4 for street unless it’s dark and if it’s dark I’d never use a compact camera anyway. Thanks for watching 🖖
Its actually the same sensor from 50D....
It’s approximately the same resolution, but that’s all. This has a 1/1.7inch ccd sensor whereas the 50d has an apsc sized CMOs sensor. Unless it’s not the Canon 50d you’re referring to. Thanks for watching 🖖
can't beat a Ricoh gr
It can certainly beat it in price 😂
@@DavidFlowerOfficial used gri+II are quite cheap, just a bit rare to find in good condition
£500 and £750 respectively isn’t what I’d call cheap for a fixed focal length point and shoot🤷🏻♂️
@@DavidFlowerOfficial got my GRii for $300 several years ago, when GRiii came out. Could probably sell it for the same price now. Might not be that easy anymore to find GRi+ii in ok condition for a good price now tbh...
GR is really hard to beat though, I find smaller sensor compacts are really hard to recommend nowadays considering image quality from (flagship) phones...
I find image quality on 4K monitor hardly bearable from phones and smaller sensor compacts... but that's just me (pixel peeper)
Found one for 75 euros 😊
hello i am new to this camera, how do i know what’s the best setting for it?
Settings change for pretty much every photo, so if you’re unsure, I’ve found that using ‘P’ mode with iso set to 80 gives great results in good light👍
@@DavidFlowerOfficial thank you!
G11 has the flip screen, G12 is more common than G11
The G10 is special in that it has that higher resolution sensor. Not the most important factor I know, but it kinda makes the G10 stand out.
Thanks for watching 🖖
Where are you, David? I mean geographically?
Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial Cool! I'm not so far away from you at the moment, looking after my wife's dad in Selby.
Ah cool. It’s been a while since I was over that way. In my former life as a heating engineer the company I worked for did work for the York Diocese so that put me in that sort of area quite a bit🖖
Mate, be careful on fountain road
Ah don’t worry, mate. I’ve been wandering around there for years👍
You know what song is missing don’t you….
I know what song will never be in one of my videos 😂
Nice shoot men 😊 im follow you in insta 👍
Thanks very much. I appreciate it 🖖😁
How do you transform the camera photo into pc
If you’re asking how to get the photos from the camera to the pc, I just remove the memory card and put it in my card reader
