Viewfinder
Purists will appreciate the presence of the Canon PowerShot G10's viewfinder, but don't expect much from it. It's a simple optical viewfinder that won't show you any adjustments or overlay any information.
The viewfinder is a great feature for traditionalists.
LCD Screen
The three-inch LCD display on the back of the G10 is on the largish side for a compact camera. What's really nice, however, is the resolution of 461,000 pixels. Items on the display look sharp and clear whether you're taking a photo or looking at those you've already captured. The display allows you to toggle between limited information on the LCD, a lot of information (including a handy live histogram), and turning the LCD off when you just want to use the viewfinder.

The three-inch LCD has seen a significant upgrade in resolution to 461,000 pixels.
Flash
The flash on the Canon PowerShot G10 is located above and to the right of the lens when looking at the camera from the front. One nice feature is Flash Exposure Compensation, which can be accessed in the Function Settings menu and allows you to adjust between +/- 2. If the built-in flash on the G10 isn't enough for you the hot shoe will let you add your own.
The flash sits just above and to the right of the lens.
The Canon PowerShot G10's lens has a focal length of 6.1-30.5mm and an aperture of 1:2.8-4.5. The focal length is slightly wider than its predecessor the G9, which should enable you to take wider angle shot, and the aperture is a slight improvement from a maximum of 4.8 at the tele end. Both of these improvements are appreciated.
The lens retracts into the body so you can carry the G10 comfortably
in most pockets and bags.
Connections
All the connections on the Canon PowerShot G10 are found on the right side beneath a small cover. Here you will find the A/V Out, Remote Terminal and mini USB port.
From the top: A/V Out, Remote Control and mini USB ports.
Battery
The G10 uses a proprietary lithium-ion battery that is capable of giving you 400 shots with the LCD on or 1,000 shots without. Playback time is 600 minutes.
