The Canon PowerShot G10 is a high-end 14.7-megapixel compact point-and-shoot with a 5x zoom, aimed squarely at advanced photographers who want a plethora of manual controls and support for RAW in a relatively small form factor. Larger than most compacts, and pricier at $499.99, the G10 is pockmarked with the buttons and dials that those advanced shooters will love. Those who aren't as advanced will find it confusing.
