 great camera July 1, 2009
Keith OH/MI
This is the fifth Canon camera that I have owned and the best point and shoot camera that I have used. The manual controls are so easy to use and the pictures are very nice when using the automatic modes. I bought this camera to carry with me for times that my dSLR is not practical or convenient.
I read some review about people complaining about poor low light performance and I was a little skeptical before I bought this. However now I understand why they may think this. With most point and shoot cameras it is not so easy to adjust the ISO so people usually leave them on automatic modes and get pictures with a lower iso and higher shutter speeds in low light conditions. The pictures may have some blurr due to unsteady hands but they are not grainny. However, with this camera the control is right there so you can easily turn up the ISO to settings that are not reasonable and the result is grainny pictures.
This is the best point and shoot camera that I have ever used. If you are in the market for this type of camera or even a cheap dSLR (and not sure what lenses that you want yet) then you should strongly consider this camera because you will continue to carry it with you and use it even if you also have a dSLR.

This camera is awesome for what it is supposed to be; a compact camera with lots of power and versatility. Everyone loves my party pictures because they beat everyone elses compact cameras. Face detection is awesome. The camera really lets you be as creative as you want to be or it can do it all for you. It's idiot proof (my GF took it to france and did ok!) I just bought the underwater housing and that is gonna be so awesome.
My D300 is a lot better but i've been using it a lot less lately. I Try to keep the ISO on 80. It is noisy but high ISO pics i turn blk and white and they look great. Seriously its no big deal. Also i picked this over the lumix because the controls are easy to reach, really easy!
I gave it 1 star just to piss people off and to get attention on my review. =b (Haters feel free to hate.) My conclusion is that i like it a lot and you should try it out.
Some Very Interesting Possibilities July 1, 2009

I have a camera closet with almost every major brand represented, Nikon being my primary. The camera was purchased as an everyday carry around street camera, and with one very special task in mind. Two-thirds of the way through the completion of a close up macro photography book, the very first thing I did after setting up the camera was to install the telephoto link tube followed by the addition of a 58/52 step down ring and a Canon close up diopter. The result was everything I had hoped for,(no vignetting with the 58/52 setup; 58mm and 62 mm closeup diopters will be no problem), and with a selection of such diopters ranging all the way to +10 the experiments have begun. I have taken note of comments regarding quality fall off above ISO 200. As I have no intention of using this camera above ISO 200 I am quite pleased. The view finder could have included some exposure information, but I do not find that fact to be or real import. I am simply spoiled having used "Flagship" cameras for so long. Set up was quick and intuitive and the first images were all of publication quality. The only accessory not provided by Canon is an LCD display protector. The camera is solid, the optics excellent and ease of use to an old hand was simple second nature. I doubt most folks will find serious fault with quality above ISO 200 as most photographers who will choose this little beauty will not be cranking out 11 x 14 and 16 x 20 color prints.For the most part I am an aperture preferred shooter and do not find the manual mode F/8 limitation to be a serious one. For money this is one fine camera.
G10 - Great quality photos June 29, 2009
J. Rendon (Houston, Tx)
I previously had owned a Canon PowerShot SD600 and was looking for something to upgrade to after my daughter was born. I was always happy with the SD600's quality, but was looking for more capabilties. I started looking at several DSLR's (Nikon D80/D90) but finally decided on the G10. I understand the G10 won't have the same quality as a DSLR, but I made the decision based on needing a camera that my wife can actually operate and the fact that the G10 is much more compact (i.e. I'll be more prone to bring it with me).
I have been very happy with the pictures I've taken so far with this camera. Most new cameras seem to come with face tracking and it works pretty well on this camera. It messes up if someone turns their head away and back, but I wouldn't expect a point and shoot to keep tracking when this happens. I like having the ability to select a specific ISO without having to go thru any menus. My wife still has blurry pictures sometimes, but most of them turn out nicely.
I'd highly recommend this camera.
Thank you, June 28, 2009

It would have been nice if you guys took care of the warranty slip when you shipped the camera. But overall, great speedy service and great product.
