I recently bought one of these at an expensive price. I shall explain some features and my feedback to this item below.

The 14.7-megapixel G10 replaces the PowerShot G9 at the top end of the clever compact space. It's a chunky beast of a camera, as you'll see in your pictures, but still smaller than a dSLR with comparable power and flexibity. The G-series are designed to be the back-up cameras you can keep in your pocket if you don't want to bust out the dSLR, and the G10 certainly packs a lot into its relatively compact frame.

The G10 includes all the whistles, bells and accordions you'd expect: optical image stabilisation, face detection and various scene and colour modes. These include panorama stitch assist, portrait, landscape, and aquarium. The larger-than-most 1/1.7-inch sensor is teamed with Canon's new DIGIC 4 image processor, which is claimed to boost speed and cut down on noise.

GOOD BITS
servo autofocus, which continually adjusts focus on a subject moving nearer to or away from the camera.
big screen for viewing the photos
face detection
14.7 megapixel for an ultraclear picture
great image processor
image stabilisation

BAD BITS
chunky
not very stylish
not as portable as other cameras
