Super Fitness Health BlogCanon’s Powershot G10 – a classic?
Canon’s Powershot G10 offers a staggering 14.7 million pixels on its hi-def CCD sensor.
Pixel count isn’t the only indicator of quality, but in general more pixels is better and certainly gives you more cropping choice after the event.
Unlike, say the Canon A590IS model, which is geared to amateurs, the Powershot G10 is very much a prosumer model. The list of features alone make that clear.
With a 28 m.m. wide-angle lens and also offers a 5x zoom. Optical Image Stabilisation keeps the image sharp even at the long end of the zoom – pretty essential for anyone who can’t hand-hold a camera as steadily as before. The image stabilisation feature should mean that more of your shots come out sharp.
The LCD display is a 3.0-inch Pure Color LCD II screen. That makes it much easier to line up your shots – you won’t need to squint anymore to see what’s on the screen. If you’ve never used a large lcd screen digital camera before then you’ll be astonished at just how much easier it makes life. The Canon Powershot offers a really beautiful display.
The famed Canon Digic 4 processor has been added. Digic4 offers faster operation and enhanced image quality – something we all appreciate. Of course every day brings a new, better camera with more pixels, although that’s not always the most important thing. Cameras such as the Sony DSC HX9V are very popular because they have high pixel counts and long zoom ranges, but you need to check out some of the reviews to see whether the pixels actually make a difference to the end result.
One thing to remember is that a digital camera is going to need some food and a camera that has extremely high resolution is going to need a lot of memory card to store its images. There’s usually a selection of cheap cards at places like www.digitalcamerafood.co.uk
That’s where cards like the sandisk 8gb sdhc or the transcend 8gb sdhc card are so useful. An 8gb card will store a useful number of hi-res images and allow you to keep shooting for longer.
The Canon Powershot G10 is a stunning example of engineering and design.
You can safely say that it will be a more practical alternative to an SLR. Although it’s not the smallest digital ‘compact’ on the market, it’s probably one of, if not the best specified and well designed cameras available today.
