Manufacturer Description
Advanced amateur photographers are a discerning group, and
they’ve flocked to Canon’s G-Series for its ability to meet and
exceed their demands. The third-generation Power G10 is a
stunning successor, loaded with uncompromising specs like 14.7
megapixels, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and Canon’s new DIGIC 4 Image

Power G10 Highlights
14.7-megapixel resolution 14.7-megapixel digital camera for the
highest image quality
The Power G10 is equipped with a 14.7-megapixel CCD.
Combined with unsurpassed DIGIC 4 image processing, this
impressive pixel count delivers richly detailed photos that
resonate with lifelike depth from shadows to highlights.
An important benefit to the G10’s lofty pixel count is the
flexibility it lends to the editing process. With 14.7 megapixels
of resolution, any portion of any is a great candidate for
ment. and crop as your creative vision demands,
confident that the detail you need is there for you.
High-powered 5x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer plus
a 28mm wide-angle lens
The camera is equipped with a long 5x optical zoom, and Canon’s
own Optical Image Stabilizer Technology keeps images steady and
blur-free all through the zoom range--even in low light--by
detecting motion and generating a corrective signal. Because it
is an optical system, more corrective movement is allowed and
there is no degradation of image quality.
New DIGIC 4 Image Processor improves Face Detection, adds Servo
AF, Face Detection Self-Timer and Intelligent Contrast Correction
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon’s proprietary DIGIC Image Processors have long set its
cameras apart from the competition, and the new DIGIC 4 sets the
bar even higher. Faster, more accurate noise reduction delivers
better image quality, even at high ISO speeds.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-re
technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an
internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works
with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed
and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
A new Face Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the
number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. For
instance, to include photographer’s face in a group , there’s
no need to rush in. Just put the camera on a stand or tripod, and
specify Face Self-Timer, and the camera will wait for the
photographer’s face to get on-camera before it takes the .
Motion Detection now tracks moving subjects in a much larger
range, and the new Servo AF retains focus on a moving subject
after the shutter button is pressed halfway -- allowing you to
wait for the perfect without refocusing. Also, Face
Detection and Motion Detection are markedly improved.
Intelligent Contrast Correction in action Intelligent Contrast
Correction
DIGIC 4 also makes possible the new i-Contrast (Intelligent
Contrast Correction) system, which controls the compensation
level in pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright
areas unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark,
and more natural transition. The Power G10 can even use
i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were
without the setting activated.
Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye
from subjects in flash pictures.
1) The Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies
and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
2) The G10 can be set to automatically detect and correct
red-eye during image playback.
3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image
playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove
them.
Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times.
That’s why the G10 features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings
that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in
low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility.
ISO can be expanded to 3200 when you select ISO 3200 Special
Scene mode.
Full range of shooting and modes including RAW + JPEG
The Power G10’s RAW mode lets you shoot images without JPEG
compression. It gives you clearer images and complete creative
control in editing. RAW images are transferred directly to the
computer where they can then be edited using image adjustment
software or a processing application to adjust your images as you
please. The camera can also be set to allow the simultaneous
of both RAW and JPEG images while shooting.
Also, with 26 Shooting Modes including 17 Special Scene Modes,
you’re ready for whatever comes your way.
Large 3.0-inch PureColor LCD II
The Power G10 gives you an extra-large 3.0-inch LCD screen
for excellent control when framing your s. But size is only
part of the story. Canon’s PureColor LCD II offers more
spectacular color, resolution and contrast even at an angle
(compared to PureColor LCD). The screen is highly durable and
easy to see in any light with a scratch-resistant,
anti-reflective coating. It is a perfect feature for gathering
friends and family around to see your images.
A wealth of accessories including optional Speedlite flashes
The Power G10 is compatible with the Speedlite EX series
that is for all EOS series SLR cameras. Attach a Speedlite 580EX
II to the hot shoe, then you can set and control the flash on the
"Flash Control" menu in the camera. With the 580EX II, the G10 is
given extra functions such as autoflash metering, FE lock and
Flash exposure compensation; continuous shooting with external
flash. Also Canon’s Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 enables you to
have multiple slave flashes and wireless control. A Tele Coverter
lens designed for the G10 and High-Power Flash designed for all
Power cameras are also available.
Print/Share Button for easy direct printing and downloading
The Power G10's Print/Share button makes direct printing
easier than ever. Simply connect the G10 to a Canon PIXMA Photo
Printer or SELPHY Compact Photo Printer or any PictBridge
compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button
and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images to
a computer (Windows and Macintosh).
Print your own ID photos in up to 28 different sizes or use the
Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a recorded
movie on a single sheet with a Canon SELPHY Compact Photo
Printer.

Canon Power G10: Recommended by dpreview.com
The G10 is the third incarnation of Canon’s ship 'prosumer'
compact since the G series was reinvented with the G7 in 2006.
Announced two years after the G6, the G7 caused quite a buzz;
partly because everyone had presumed the budget SLR had killed
off this sector of the market, partly because it lacked several
of what had become G series trademarks (fast lens, tilting
screen, raw mode, secondary LCD panel), and it would be fair to
say the response was ‘mixed’. The G9 went some way towards
placating the critics, reintroducing raw mode and improving
handling, but it still suffered from the fundamental problem that
the sensor inside couldn’t deliver on what the fantastic camera
promised on the outside.
When we reviewed the G9 last year, we praised it for the
styling, handling and build and for its excellent output at low
ISO settings. The G10 builds on this by adding handling and
control refinements, improving the LCD resolution, and, most
importantly, adding a wider lens starting at 28mm (equiv.). It
also retains the rangefinder styling and solid build quality, and
reduces the a of silver accents on the camera. All the
external controls have been carried over, and a new one has been
added (a very useful exposure compensation dial).
The things we criticized the G9 for (the unneeded increase in
resolution, and the slow-ish lens) have not been addressed.
Instead Canon has increased the resolution for the sensor even
more, to 14.7 megapixels. The updated lens, though wider at the
wide end, is also shorter at the long end, and has less zoom
range overall. The speed of the lens is again almost the same
F2.8-4.5, though the wider lens does retain the G9’s relatively
compact dimensions. The price remains at around $500.
Note that some sections of this review (feature descriptions
where nothing has changed) are reproduced from the G9 review.
