I may buy a G10 still because it’s good looking and a little better than my G9. All the comments on
here are useless and are from people who have know idea at what point the noise becomes and issue
and who seem to enjoy nitpicking. In my experience manufacturers usually know their market and
have probably decided that the extra cost of a larger sensor would kill sales or conflict with others in
their range.
Canon have a dreadful website, they are difficult to contact, their software downloads are impossible
to understand, most of the camera software they supply is confusing and unpleasant to use, but I
manage well with iPhoto and ignore it. It’s a big remote company but it makes good cameras.

We currently own the original Canon Rebel (300 is it?) bought back in 2003. We use it mainly for kid
shots and vacations. Love it. Once in a blue moon I pull out my old CONTAX RTS film (spent an
entire summer’s savings on it back when I was 18 - some 30 yrs ago). Nothing beats the images I get
from the f1.4 Zeiss. But, clearly technology has moved on. I’m considering a G10 as Christmas gift
for my wife. I think she would use it more often than the Rebel (which she already uses often) and it
seems cheaper than buying more lens for the Rebel (we still only have the lens it came with). I read
about the issues with noise at higher ISO, but really how much will we notice given our old Rebel
comparison. Is the G10 better than the original Rebel in image quality? Or should I just spend a few
hundred more and get her a new Rebel?

I have just recently received a G10 as a christmas gift from my girlfriend and after playing with the
camera for a couple of days I was absolutely astounded by the level of resolution and overall image
quality at ISO 80.
I could care less about high ISO noise as when I shot film it was usually velvia which was ISO 40.I
would push process that once in a while but the point is it was slow film. Since Velvia was by far the
most popular pro film, why are people whining now about digital noise at ISO 400-1600? Nobody
who shoots for demanding image quality would ever shoot at those speeds, then or now.
This camera is amazing at ISO 80 or 100.
People are vastly overstating this noise issue.
Put this puppy on a tripod, set to ISO 80 and get your light right and if your jaw doesn’t drop, then
you’ve just clearly made up your mind that your going to dislike this camera.
Oh, and the image stabilizer is nothing short of amazing, enabling me to pull of sharp shots at shutter
speeds that have me shaking my head, really no need to carry a tripod anymore into the field….

Dear Todd,
Everyone has his opinnion about all the things, in this subject, camera G10, you have your opinion
and o.k. but I can not understand your question about ISO. Do you thing that a camera that has a
price, 450 €, can do a perfect or nice resolution with only 80 or 100 ISO? I think that no, Canon play
