Canon's PowerShot range has a new flagship in the
form of the much anticipated G10, successor to the G9. Key changes
include a new 14.7 megapixel CCD sensor and, more usefully, a new
28-140mm wide zoom and increased screen resolution - plus a DIGIC IV
processor. A new top panel layout adds a dedicated AE compensation
dial and there's an improved grip, but overall externally the
changes are subtle.

Features for Canon Powershot G10

14.7 Megapixels
A 14.7 Megapixel sensor provides rich detail for large-scale prints
and creative cropping, while allowing you to make the most of the
camera’s Safety Zoom and Digital Tele-Converter functions.
Quality 5x wide-angle lens
Capture more in your frame with a compact, high quality 5x
wide-angle (28mm, f/2.8) lens. Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer
technology counteracts the effects of camera shake, for crisp,
blur-free images throughout the zoom range.
RAW recording
RAW shooting gives complete control over all image parameters in
post-shoot editing. Support for Canon’s Digital Photo Professional (DPP)
software allows Digital SLR users to integrate the PowerShot G10
into their workflow.
DIGIC 4
The latest in image processing technology, DIGIC 4 delivers
extraordinary noise reduction. The result is richly detailed,
cleaner images, even at high ISO speeds. DIGIC 4 also drives
exceptional processing speeds and responsive operation.
Anti-blur
The PowerShot G10 combats blur with High ISO Auto and Motion
Detection Technology, which ascertains movement of both camera and
subject to set the optimum ISO, whatever the shooting situation.
Servo AF tracks moving subjects to ensure they remain in focus.
Face Detection Technology
For easy, spontaneous portraiture the PowerShot G10 uses Canon’s
Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB. Face Select & Track optimises settings
for a chosen person, while FaceSelf-Timer is ideal for
self-portraits or group photos.
3.0" PureColor LCD II
The 3.0" PureColor LCD II has outstanding resolution (460K dots) for
exceptional detail during framing or playback - while an optical
viewfinder offers extra framing choice.
Convenient dials
Dedicated Exposure Compensation and ISO dials provide convenient
adjustment of exposure and ISO without the need to access menus. A
Multi Control Dial provides fast, accurate access to menu items,
functions and images.

i-Contrast
i-Contrast analyses a scene during shooting or playback, then boosts
brightness in dark areas. The result is improved contrast with
detail retained in tricky lighting conditions.
Shooting modes
26 modes, including numerous automatic modes, make shooting in
tricky situations easier. The PowerShot G10 also offers full manual
mode, for total creative control.
Accessories range
A comprehensive accessory system includes a tele-converter,
waterproof case and compatibility with Canon’s full range of
Speedlite flashes.
