Lens and Zoom
As mentioned Canon has traded length for width in the lens of its latest G camera, providing coverage all of the way out to an equivalent 28mm at wide-angle. It is a clever move in our perspective, making the G10 the best complicated PowerShot yet for landscape shooting or working inside in close spaces.

Flash
As befits a camera with a hot shoe, the G10 sports a fairly sophisticated flash controller using Canon's latest flash metering custom to ensure compatibility with the latest external flashguns.The controller also provides a complete range of functions to be used with the camera's in-built flash, including flash exposure compensation of at least two EV in either direction ( also quickly accessible through the function fast menu ), vehicle red-eye reduction settings, and first- or second-curtain slow speed sync. With a claimed range at wide angle of 4.6 meters ( or simply over fifteen feet ), the G10's in-built flash has a little more kick than those on its nearest rivals. Even work at the tele end of the lens,the G10 was ready to convincingly fill up a scene with light, as in the following shot taken in a room without other illumination sources.

Image Stabilization
The G10's lens component shifting optical image stabilization system continues Canon's practice of offering plenty of IS options : Continuing , Shooting only or Panning, as well as an off position for shooting from a tripod or in other scenarios where IS isn't needed. As usual with Canon, the G10's optical stabilization technology was not intrusive and appeared to work fine : I had success grabbing sharp shots down to shutter speeds as low as one / ten at wide angle.

Battery
Even with an upgraded battery, the G10 tries to approach current DSLR numbers for battery lifespan.Blame it on the necessity to use the screen much of the time for shot composition ( something most DSLRs don't handle ) but our G10 was not even in a position to hit Canon's claimed four hundred shot mark : with some flash shooting and, albeit, plenty of image review, I wasn't even in a position to in. over the three hundred shot threshold between charges.

Image-quality
If you're on the lookout for large resolution the G10 camera delivers, pushing the envelope on image ( and file ) size to a level that few compact cameras have dared approach. Beyond worries about limited dynamic range or higher noise with the G10's more densely packed sensor, there's the essential question of what to do with the G10's just about fifteen megapixel captures : the reality is that many of us do not need anywhere near this sort of resolution for the kind of shooting that we are doing with a compact camera.But the flip side of the G10 equation is that this camera packs enough resolving power through its lens / sensor combo to function as a true professional's tool in a pinch. The Canon PowerShot G10 is recommendable without doubt, though you have to remember it's not applicable everywhere like a favored DSLR camera would be.The canon G10 is compact nevertheless it packs masses of manual features and is good for a fan who does not want to drag around a D-SLR. You'll find it to be really well-suited to low-light photography and macro shots, nonetheless it will perform well in any situation.
