Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

The Canon PowerShot G10 is a 14.7 megapixel compact digital camera and is Canon‘s flagship compact digital camera in Canon‘s Compact Digital Camera lineup. 

Targeted at advanced amateurs who need the speed and flexibility the Canon Powershot G10 provides advanced features inluding: 

14.7 Megapixels. This megapixel count is the highest to date for Canon for and allowing for any size enlargement you require. 

A 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom  with Image stabilization allows you go get close and get photos you may otherwise miss. The Image stabilization reduces blur, or camera shake. You get crisp, clean photos instead. 

The 28mm lens is a wide angle option allowing you to either fit it all in (which is the way most wide angles are used) or let your creative side loose and use the wide angle to get photos you wouldn’t normally get with a ‘normal’ lens setting. 

The face self timer is a feature that allows you to put the camera on a tripod, (or chair,or table,or whatever) and give you the shooter or photographer time to get into the scene. The camera will wait for your face. When it sees it,it will take it. No more racing to join the group as you only have seconds before the camera fires. 

Intelligent Contrast. The camera contols the exposure for dark areas so they are properly exposed while leaving the bright areas as they should be. This is a great feature for taking portraits for an example outdoors where the sun is on the subjects back. The camera will expose for both areas correctly: the dark subject and the bright background. You can also choose to apply intelligent contrast in the playback of the photo as opposed to the shooting. 

Red Eye correction is done in three ways: The first is to correct the red eye before the camera shoots, the second is setting the Canon Powershot G10 to identify and correct red eye during playback on the LCD display and the third method allows you to locate the red eye manually and correct the red eye via the controls on the camera. 

Large LCD Display. The Canon PowerShot G10 offers a 3 inch bright, clear LCD display allowing you to eaily compose and playback your images under any lighting conditions. 

Additional Accessories. Probably one of the most attractive features of the Canon Powershot G10 is the ability to use many accessories avaialable for the camera including Speedlite EX Flash Series. Canon‘s speedlite flash transmitter and teleconverter lenses available for the Canon PowerShot G10

What’s in the Box? 

As you can see above, the Canon Powerhot G10 offers an impressive feature set in a compact design.
