Conclusion
The successor to the popular G9, the Canon PowerShot G10 represents a meaningful upgrade. Adding quite a few megapixels in resolution, the G10 retains the plethora of manual controls offered by the G9, and adds a new dial for Exposure Compensation. This will make the advanced shooters in the G10 target audience very happy indeed, as will the increased resolution and expanded focal range. The new Digic 4 processor also offers significant upgrades in burst speed, noise suppression and face detection.Those who are looking for a compact camera that provides image control near those of an SLR will find a lot to like in the G10. That said, the upgrades probably aren't enough for you to trade up if you already own the G9, or a competitor in the same category like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3.
Novice shooters who aren't scared away by the $499.99 price may still be scared away by the plethora of buttons and manual controls. If you're someone who's ready to move into the world of manual control and doesn't want to carry a bulky SLR, though, this might be a good choice for you.
