Quick review

The good: Good image quality, JPEG and RAW capture, good build, comprehensive feature set, great control layout and handling
The bad: "Spongy" feel to shutter button, shadow noise when using i-Contrast, noise issues above ISO 800
Verdict: The G10 updates its G9 predecessor with a set of new controls and much improved features, but is it any good? Well we think it is
Key specs: 14 megapixels, SD, SDHC

As can be seen in one of your images, ISO starts at a very convenient 80. I usually fix at that rate and results are optimal. Posted by Jose Cremads, Spain
I just ordered one from Amazon.com (US) for $408. I have read every review, and I can't wait to start using a (nearly) grown up camera. I look at it as being able to do "no-brains" photos, and to teach me what the various settings are as well. Thanks for your very helpful review. Posted by Jack Hoggard, USA
