Specs & RatingsConclusion

The Canon PowerShot D10 is a tough camera. It can handle water down to 33 feet, be dropped from up to 6.6 feet and temperatures down to 14 degrees. And it does this without compromising image quality; we found that it took very sharp images with good color and accurate detail.
It also has an number of nice touches that make it easier to use. The wrist strap can be attached to any of the 4 corners, and has a fastener that holds it securely onto the wrist. This also includes a small pointy bit that can be used to open the battery compartment, which is useful if you are trying to swap batteries or memory cards while wearing gloves.
The D10 has disappointing video features, though; the video is low resolution and rather grainy with oversaturated color. It's fine for taking videos of the kids in the pool, but it won't cut it for filming a once-in-a-lifetime underwater adventure.
Overall, we found the D10 to be an excellent camera for adventurous types, with a good balance of ease of use and robustness. If your idea of fun is skiing down a volcano, parachuting off a glacier into the ocean and riding a whale into the sunset, the D10 should survive as long as you do (and will perhaps be discovered by the search party with the photos still intact). However, it might be overkill if all you need is photos of the kids in the paddling pool.
