G10 exceeds expectations
The G10 is an amazing camera. I bought it two weeks ago based on Michael Reichman's (luminouslandscape website) and Thom Hogan's (bythom[...]) reviews. I am an advanced amateur/prosumer -- I sell fine art landscapes, and have been photographing for about 35 years.
The G10 is heavy at about a pound, but I like the heft. It is quite compact (at least from my perspective) -- the lens fully retracts and it will fit in a large jacket pocket. I have a medium-large Zing pouch I put it in an...

Advancing from Point and Shot cameras...
I have used point and shoot cameras for their size and convenience, as I am always on the go. Most recent camera has been Canon SD800IS - a great camera for spontaneous shots. My needs are growing and photo editing is becoming a more important element of making photos effective. The JPEG files that cameras output, like my Canon SD800IS, look fine, however, because the camera has already processed its RAW info in making the JPEG, the options left for photo editing afterward are limited.

Excellent point and shoot
Most of the criticisms in other reviews relate to high noise over ISO 200, and that is true. But below 200 they are very good. Luminous Landscape just posted a comparison of the $500 G10 against a $40,000 Hasselblad H2 with a 39 megapixel back and was amazed to find little observable difference in 13x19 prints. 8 professional photographers could not distinguish reliably between them. That is a lot of performance for a camera the size of a cigarette pack and 1/80th the price of the other came...

Glad the lens is wider.
I bought this to replace my G9 which I gave to my wife. Unlike others I am very happy with the new lens which is now a 28mm on the wide end compared to 35mm on the G9. brTrue the G10s lens was dropped to 5x. But because the the G10s resolution was increased from 12.1 megapixels to 14.7 megalpixels you can still crop a 6x or 7x photo out of the file and still have a 12-13 meg picture. I can crop to go long but I cant crop to go wide. Excellent camera hard to comment on cost-bebefit as my G9 was ...

Best of its type available
My title sounds like I'm damning this camera with faint praise, but it's actually seriously intended. By "its type," I mean a high-quality, traditional rangefinder-type configuration (specifically including a viewfinder) with advanced amateur or better controls, RAW capability, hot shoe, and a decent lens.
In the digital world, with current technology - no matter how much you spend - that involves compromises. Do I wish that Canon had opted for a sensor with fewer megapixels? Yes...

All I can say is wow.
First, allow me to introduce myself: I am a pixel-peeper. I have to be because my clients are; I'm not that way out of OCD although I do suffer from OCD. I am a DSLR user, a user of professional lenses, and someone who takes pictures for almost solely the purpose of selling them commercially.
I got started about 6 months ago looking for a compact camera that I could take with me everywhere I go, since taking my pro gear is not always feasible for a multitude of reasons. I tried out a ...

Less than DSLR, more than point-and-shoot
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: 14.7 MP means larger print sizes and more detail than typical point-and-shoot camera. Tons of shooting modes I'm still figuring out. Love the big, easy to see LCD -- helps with picture composition and menu options. Controls are intuitive and I like the wheel control for navigating the menu. Rich colors, good video (wish video was HD resolution like some new DSLRs). Image quality is fantastic,...

Best non-dSLR around
The Good - Pictures 14.7Mpix are clear and crisp - 5x optical zoom is excellent - minimal barrel distortion. Camera gives you the ability to save pictures in both normal JPG andor Canon RAW formats and gives a set of tools to manipulate the RAW settings in the images. Many picture sizes to choose from. Can take both SD and SDHC memory card formats - I recommend SDHC Class-6 for making videos. Making videos is not as important to me as great pictures - you want a video camera buy one. You w...

A great in-between camera
I'm a hobbyist who long ago owned a Konica SLR and shot lots of slides. In the digital age, I've only owned point-and-shoot cameras and have become frustrated by their lack of flexibility and quality. I looked long and hard at SLRs but don't yet feel I can spring for the price. I also wanted something more easily portable. But I wanted complete control over shutter speed and aperture, and I wanted to be able to shoot in RAW for more post-processing flexibility. I decided to spring for the G...

Don't be afraid... buy this camera!
I am what one may call a "serious amateur" photographer. My first serious camera was a WWII-vintage 35mm Leica rangefinder that my dad, while in the U.S. Army, got from a captured German Oberleutnant (he said he won it from him playing cards!). I still have that camera, though it needs work. My first "modern" SLR was a Canon F-1 I got back in the early 1980's. Wife Number One got that - along with all the lenses and accessories - in the divorce. <Sniff!> <Sob!>
At this stage in ...
