Some friends at Akihabara have reviewed the famous Canon Powershot G10 DSLR. As a successor to the G9, the Powershot G10 features a 14.7-megapixel CCD sensor with a new 28-140mm wide zoom, a 3.0-inch TFT color LCD with wide viewing angle, and a DIGIC IV processor. Here is the verdict.
What to say? Well I kind of like the G10, despite its weakness over 200 ISO, hey this is a Point & Shoot After All, The G10 is a great capable little camera which can be either use for leisure and if you are willing to learn more about how to play with exposure and ISO, of if you an Amateur or Semi-Pro looking forward to always carry a good camera along with him. Personally if I had to start a News Blog from scratch and needed a descent affordable compact camera, the G10 will be my first choice! Oh and I forget, the G10 also offer a Video Mode, just forget about it… This features is purely marketing rather than useful.
