Photos: Canon PowerShot G10

A discussion of the design of the Canon PowerShot G10

Lori Grunin
I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

In addition to giving the camera a retro feel, the dials on the G10 are really practical and much faster to use than even direct-access buttons, which always require at least some navigation.

I wasn't sure I was sold on the G10's exposure-compensation dial, until I actually found myself using it in situations where I'd normally just leave the shot slightly underexposed.

Like the G9 and the G7 before it, the G10 uses a 4-way switch plus Set/Function button, which is surrounded by a scroll wheel. I love the scroll wheel, but find I tend to accidentally hit one of the Manual focus, macro, drive mode or flash switch when I'm trying to press the middle button.
