Canon Powershot G10

[patch29]

I found a few samples for the G10 here (http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/dcp/psg10/samples.html), from Canon. They look very good, but they are all at ISO 80 and most were shot at either 4.0 or 4.5, has anyone seen any high ISO samples? :ear

I do not expect the high iso to be any different or better than the G9, really. But who knows, we may be surprised with Digic4 :D

Mine will be in my hands Monday, it shipped yesterday.

Cool, I look forward to seeing some test shots and your opinion of it. :thumb

Just arrived. I'll be using it in Utah for all the P&S on the Shootout.

If the corners are sharp @ 28mm, I'm gonna call Maxmax, and mod it for IR when I return.

How is the shutter lag?

Can you see if it really has the 2:3 formats? They are not listed in the specs on Canon's website, I know dpreview lists them. :dunno

dpr suggests that there are 3:2 formats, but does not list any.

The G10 User's Guide: PSG10_CUG_EN.pdf lists no 3:2 formats. It does list several 4:3 formats from 4416:3312 to 640:480 and a single 16:9 format: 4416:2480.

I'm impressed with the image quality. Sharp to the corners, little to no CA under challenging light!

:dunno, the same as the g9? Slower than my DSLRs :D

ISO 1600? Just some snaps from when I first opened the box (didn't get to it until I was on the plane) :D

Infrared Update! Maxmax (http://www.maxmax.com) is making an IR mod for me on a 2nd G10, and I should have it next week.

I have that same Maxim mag. The side view of her bum is absolutely mesmerizing.

And then there's cameras and stuff. Yeah. Canon cameras, so I hear.

Thanks for the high ISO shots and others. The movie looks good as well. Canon made a very nice P&S camera for $500. :thumb
