The Canon PowerShot G10 features a 14.7 megapixel sensor and 5x, 28-140mm zoom. The Canon G10 also offers a large 3.0” PureColor LCD screen with 461k dots, DIGIC 4 image processor, Canon’s new i-Contrast system which increases the dynamic range, and Servo AF mode to continually adjust focus on a moving subject.

Canon\’s PowerShot G10 digital camera is a direct successor to the company\’s previous PowerShot G9 model, and at a quick glance the cameras are pretty similar externally. The Canon G10 has grown just a little larger than the G9 in all directions, though, with the biggest increase being an extra third of an inch (6mm) of height. The Canon G10\’s handgrip and optical viewfinder have been reprofiled, and probably the biggest visual difference is that the right hand control dial on the camera\’s top panel is now a double-decker. The smaller upper dial controls camera modes, and the wider lower dial allows control of ISO sensitivity on the camera body — a bit more photographer friendly than hiding this important setting somewhere in the menu system as many cameras do.

Internally, the Canon G10 retains the same 1/1.7-inch CCD image sensor size as its predecessor, but boosts resolution from 12.1 to 14.7 megapixels, along with upgrading the previous model\’s DIGIC III processor to a DIGIC 4 type that allows for servo AF tracking. At the same time the zoom lens loses a little reach, dropping from a 6x optical zoom in the previous camera to a 5x zoom in the PowerShot G10. This is probably an acceptable tradeoff for most uses though, as the G9\’s rather restricting 35mm wide angle becomes a useful 28mm wide angle in the newer camera.

With a 5x wide-angle (28mm) optical zoom lens, the PowerShot G10 combines outstanding wide-angle capabilities – making it perfect for landscapes, architecture or interiors – with the telephoto reach needed for flexible composition. Sharp, blur-free shots throughout the zoom range are assured by Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer, which offers enhanced performance via a 4-stop advantage.

Canon’s new DIGIC 4 image processor uses improved algorithms and calculation accuracy, allowing the PowerShot G10 to deliver two major advantages: ultra-fast operation, and rich, low-noise images with outstanding clarity and colour reproduction.

DIGIC 4 also powers several intelligent onboard features. Canon’s new i-Contrast feature increases the dynamic range in images to bring out previously unnoticed detail in dark areas, like shadows – without blowing out lighter areas.

Canon’s anti-blur solution combats blur caused by camera shake and subject motion using a range of technologies: optical Image Stabilizer, Motion Detection Technology and Auto ISO Shift, plus new Servo AF – which, when engaged, continually adjusts focus on a subject moving towards or away from the camera.
