MacWorld reviews the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS and writes;
“PowerShot SX120 IS a surprisingly beefy little pocket megazoom, able to accommodate a variety of shooting situations from all-auto casual pictures to tricky low-light, manual shots. Just about the only place it won’t seem suitable is on the fast-action sports scene, where the lag between shots could drive you crazy.”

ImagingResource reviews the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS and writes;
“ISO 80 and 100 printed results look good at 13×19 inches, though just a tad soft on close inspection; at arm’s length, though, it’s just great. At ISO 200, prints are better at 11×14 inches. ISO 400 shots are usable at 11×14, but better at Letter size. ISO 800 shots are a little too soft at 8×10, better at 5×7. ISO 1,600 shots are usable at 5×7, but better at 4×6. ISO 3,200 shots are not usable at 4×6 without sharpening.”

“…Very happy overall. It is larger than the last camera we had, but with that said we gave up a lot of great features to have portability and it wasn’t worth it at all.

Smart AUTO detects and analyzes faces, brightness, colors, distance, and movement
Just set the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS to Smart AUTO and you’re ready for maximum enjoyment from your picture taking every time. It’s a relaxing and satisfying way to shoot because you can completely concentrate on your subject, knowing that the camera has the technical details covered. Advanced Canon technology intelligently analyzes your situation and shooting conditions. Then it automatically selects an appropriate setting from 18 specially defined settings. So whether you’re photographing flowers, a captivating sunset, or your friends at the park, you can be confident that you’re getting dramatic, memorable images.
Easy Mode makes capturing images as easy as 1-2-3
Even if you’ve never picked up a camera before, with Canon’s new Easy Mode you can take inspiring, dramatic pictures that will impress everyone. Once you choose Easy Mode, the PowerShot SX120 IS handles all the details automatically. It automatically sets every camera control, including the flash, to reduce blur and improve image quality. So you get pictures that are bright, clear and natural just by pushing a button. Best of all, you can relax and concentrate on what really counts–your subject.
With 20 Shooting Modes including 8 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way.
High-powered 10x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer
The PowerShot SX120 IS has a 10x Optical Zoom lens that makes it easy to get the inspiring, emotive close-ups that will make your images lasting keepsakes. This magnificent lens gives you the power to shoot distant subjects with razor-sharp precision and stunning lifelike color. So you can brilliantly capture a bird high atop a tree, a child’s winning goal from across the stadium or a school play from the last row. Plus, thanks to Canon’s highly sophisticated Optical Image Stabilizer Technology, even at maximum zoom, every image is rock steady.
The PowerShot SX120 IS is equipped with Canon’s acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake–one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you’ll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
With DIGIC 4, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s more, the DIGIC 4 Image Processor enables Canon’s Face Detection, Motion Detection Technologies and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the shutter button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. The camera also selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings automatically to keep everything looking sharp and clear. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from images as they’re taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It’s also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the PowerShot SX120 IS menu.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
DIGIC 4 features Face Detection Technology, giving you the best possible results in any shooting situation. Face Detection AF/AE sets the focus point and exposure for the faces of your subjects. Face Detection FE adjusts the flash to correctly illuminate your subject to provide the best balance between your subject and the overall scene, eliminating the common problems of over and underexposed faces.
Face Detection WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets you highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon’s Motion Detection Technology.
Simply press the Face Selector Button, then the selected face is double-framed and tracked when the face moves in the frame.
Motion Detection Technology works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. It automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and clear. This feature provides higher ISOs when you need it for action-stopping shutter speeds. But when no movement is detected, it sets lower ISOs for excellent color and detail.
Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times. That’s why the PowerShot SX120 IS features an ISO 1600 setting that reduces the effects of camera shake and sharpens subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility.
Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
1) The Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
2) The PowerShot SX120 IS can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
Large 3.0-inch PureColor System LCD
You’ll want to have your PowerShot SX120 IS with you wherever you go, and a slim new design makes it easy. Subtly rounded for an easy grip, the camera exudes modern elegance and simplicity. The back panel’s neat, intuitive interface includes a luxuriously big 3.0-inch PureColor System LCD screen. And the PureColor System LCD screen’s quality is as impressive as its size: you’ll get an exceptionally clear, bright view of all your shots, and enjoy a conveniently wide viewing angle for showing off your pictures to friends and family.
AA battery powered camera enables you to easily power up
Conveniently, you don’t need to worry about running out of batteries or having to recharging them. Since AA-size batteries can be purchased at any store, simply get new ones locally–wherever you go, no special power adapters or chargers are needed.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS is a 12.1 megapixel superzoom digital camera features 20x optical zoom (35mm equivalent: 28-560mm) with optical image stabilization, 720p HD movie recording with stereo sound, DIGIC IV, and a 2.5-inch Vari-angle LCD enables easy viewing.

AmateurPhotographer reviews the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS and writes;
“Although the Canon PowerShot SX20IS is well built and easy to use, with image quality on a par with that of a compact camera, enthusiast photographers won’t be rushing out to buy one. However, for those looking to develop their photography skills and move up from a compact camera, or wanting an extremely large zoom, the SX20IS is a good option. “

ImagingResource reviews the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS and writes;
“Printed results from the Canon SX20 are good, despite the softness at 100 percent onscreen, producing a good 13×19-inch print at ISO 80 and 100 with good, vibrant color. ISO 200 shots, though, are too soft at that size, looking better at 11×14 inches. ISO 400 shots are usable at 11×14 when viewed at arm’s length, but get better at 8×10 inches. ISO 800 shots still look good at 8×10, though some detail in red areas will be quite soft. “

MacWorld reviews the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS and writes;
“This is definitely a case where the laundry list of benefits outweighs the handful of shortcomings. With a powerful zoom lens, superior battery life, best-in-class image quality, and a useful blend of shooting modes, the PowerShot SX20 IS can stand up to almost any challenge. Action photography is a weakness, due to the camera’s slow shot-to-shot times. “

CNET reviews the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS and writes;
“The good: Solid battery life; articulating LCD; comfortable shooting design; can zoom during movie capture; ; hot shoe; exceptionally close macro focus.

DPI reviews the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS and writes;
“Image quality was generally quite clean, there isn’t a much difference or increase in noise compared to its predecessor…and image quality still does pretty well up to ISO 800. You could make large prints with ISO 400 photos, or small ones if you want to push ISO to 1600 or 3200. “

“The SX20 offers almost as much functionality as a consumer-level dSLR, great image quality, good performance, and loads of high-end features, all for about half the price. That said, with a street price of US$399 or less, we feel the SX20 IS offers an outstanding value.”

NeutralDay compares the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS to Panasonic DMC-FZ35 and writes;
“I also tend to like the more serious look of the FZ35 over the more rounded SX20, but that’s just me. In the end, the heft and grip of the SX20, along with the flip out LCD would probably win me over, but I’ll reserve judgment till I get some further extended hands on time.”

“Canon PowerShot SX20 IS takes some pretty clean photos at ISO 80. Going up to ISO 100, there’s a wee bit more ‘speckle’ noise and just slightly more at ISO 200. Photos from ISO 80 to 200 should print out just fine, up to large sizes with plenty of details and nicely saturated colors.”

PowerShot SX20 IS Highlights
20x wide-angle optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer
The PowerShot SX20 IS is equipped with a 20x Optical Zoom lens with a focal length of 5.0-100mm (35mm equivalent: 28-560mm) that allows you to shoot any scene from wide-angle to telephoto. The camera uses a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for high-speed, quiet, energy-efficient lens movement with precise control. Focal length is conveniently indicated on the lens barrel.
The lens is optimized to fully exploit its zoom length and wide shooting angle in concert with the camera’s high 12.1 Megapixel resolution. UD glass effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, while enhanced negative refractive power ensures that distortion at the wide-angle is also corrected. Further aberration is controlled with the inclusion of a double-sided aspherical glass-molded lens and ultra-high refraction index lens.
The SX20 IS is equipped with Canon’s acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake–one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you’ll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.
Use the optical zoom while shooting superb 720p HD movies with stereo sound
If you long for the convenience of an advanced still camera that also creates superb movies, the new PowerShot SX20 IS lets you record video in beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD movies (and still photos) on your HDTV with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a high-definition monitor.

Shooting Modes
Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions. With 24 Shooting Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon’s proprietary DIGIC Image Processors have long set its cameras apart from the competition, and the new DIGIC 4 sets the bar even higher. Faster, more accurate noise reduction delivers better image quality, even at high ISO speeds.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Large 2.5-inch Vari-Angle LCD enables easy viewing
The camera’s 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you’re shooting, reviewing or showing off your images.

” so if you’re looking for a very very small 780p camera, the SD780 might serve well. The Canon SD780 is a nice looking little digital camera that’s slim and pretty fast, but it doesn’t measure up to Canon’s better current pocket cameras… “

” I truly enjoyed using the SD780 IS. This camera produces images that rival that of larger more expensive digicams, and offers AF performance that leaves many of them in the dust as well… I have no problem giving the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH a high recommendation to anyone in the market for an ultra-compact and stylish camera. “

CameraLabs reviews the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS and writes;
“if you desire wider coverage or images which are sharper across the frame, then look elsewhere, such as to Canon’s own IXUS 870 IS / SD880 IS. But there’s no denying the physical appeal of the IXUS 100 IS / SD780 IS… Ultimately if you’re after a slim, stylish compact which handles itself well in general-use and can trade that against its weaknesses, then it comes recommended.”

DigitalCameraReview reviews the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS and writes;
“All in all, though, casual shooters won’t likely drill down into the SD780’s huge images enough to notice its weaknesses, and while it may not rival Canon’s 10-megapixel-and-under cameras for smoothness, the SD780’s sensor/processor combo still captures the essence of a Canon image: vibrant, crisp, and contrasty.”

“… I have had my new camera for just a few months. I actually researched all of the Canon cameras before purchasing this one and though I wasn’t totally sure it was the one for me (mostly because of the small size)….now I’m hooked! This camera is amazing! Easy to learn, easy to use and the size works much better for me now that I’m used to it…and great for travelling!
Lots & lots of great features so anyone & everyone can take great photos! “ – by Tess

Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 18 February 2009: Canon today strengthens its reputation for excellence in digital compact camera design with two new models: the slimmest ever Digital IXUS model, the 12.1 Megapixel Digital IXUS 100 IS, and the 10 Megapixel Digital IXUS 95 IS. Both models feature a new Smart Auto mode, which uses Canon’s Scene Detection Technology to help users take great shots with ease. The Digital IXUS 100 IS also includes the option to shoot HD movies (1280 x 720, 30fps) and HDMI connectivity.
Replacing the Digital IXUS 85 IS, the Digital IXUS 100 IS features a striking, 18.4mm wide stainless steel body, finished in a choice of silver, black, gold or red – making it ideal for the most prestigious of occasions. The Digital IXUS 95 IS, successor to the Digital IXUS 80 IS, offers an ultra-stylish, take-anywhere alternative in silver, grey, blue or pink. Both models offer framing flexibility via a 3.0x optical zoom, with consistently blur-free results provided by Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer.
Built for stunning images
Generous resolutions of 10.0 Megapixels and 12.1 Megapixels allow for huge A2+ size prints or the freedom to crop images to improve composition while retaining outstanding image detail. The addition of Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor allows both models to deliver ultra-fast operation, and rich, low-noise images with outstanding clarity and colour reproduction.
Beauty and brains
For incredible pictures with extreme ease, both models incorporate a new
Smart Auto mode. This uses Canon’s Scene Detection Technology to analyse the shooting scene in detail – checking subject brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue. The camera then instantly selects one of 18 possible modes, to ensure perfect settings for the scene.
Thanks to DIGIC 4 processing, Canon’s intelligent technologies are now more accurate than ever. Improved Motion Detection aids blur-free capture of moving subjects. i-Contrast brightens the dark areas of a photo without blowing out correctly-exposed areas. Face Detection Technology can register multiple faces in a frame and adjusts settings for better results; with the Digital IXUS 100 IS, this includes new Blink Detection, which helps avoid the disappointment of a mistimed portrait shot. FaceSelf-Timer simplifies group shots or self portraits by waiting until the user enters the frame before shooting. Auto Red-Eye Correction removes the unwanted red-eye effect caused by flash photography, either during or after shooting.
In addition, both models offer a smarter, newly improved User Interface – making functions even easier and more intuitive to access.
Movies and more
Despite its tiny proportions, the Digital IXUS 100 IS includes the ability to shoot pin-sharp, ultra-detailed video clips in High Definition (1280 x 720) – which can be played back on any HDTV via an HDMI connection. The Digital IXUS 95 IS offers fun movie capture at VGA resolution, with the option of Long Play movies for extended shooting.
On both models, a 2.5” PureColor LCD II offers bright, detailed image preview and review. The inclusion of an optical viewfinder offers users an alternative way to compose shots.
“United by some of our smartest technology yet, these models offer two compelling new choices to Digital IXUS fans: prestige, slimline design, or great style for everyday use,” commented Rainer Fuehres, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe.

Technologies Explained
Key Messages:
- AUTO mode is new for 1H09 in February launched Canon Cameras
- Latest Smart AUTO mode now incorporates advanced Scene Detection Technology
- Smart Auto makes it even easier for users to get better quality images with a press of the shutter button
- DIGIC 4 enables Smart Auto to be more accurate and give better images.
Introduction
Spring 2009 sees the launch of a new step-change in image quality for Canon cameras. For as long as most users can remember, AUTO mode has been a feature of point and shoot cameras -allowing minimal intervention or expertise needed to achieve satisfactory focus and exposure. Since the introduction and rise of digital photography, there have been many technological advances and additional shooting modes, yet AUTO mode remains the staple favourite of many snappers. Research conducted by Canon also reveals that AUTO is one of the most frequently used shooting modes.
Cameras with IQ
From today Canon are making AUTO mode different. The latest range of Digital Still Camera products launched incorporate a new smart system that uses Scene Detection Technology, which along with other advanced Canon technologies, leads to one of the most comprehensive and clever AUTO modes ever seen on a digital camera. Whilst complex in technology, Smart AUTO still delivers the peace of mind and ease of use for point and shooters that has always been expected from selecting the familiar green icon mode.
With intelligent and integrated use of key functions such as focus, exposure, ISO sensitivity, flash, dynamic range adjustments and Intelligent Contrast Correction, Canon Cameras have never been so smart. Added to these Canon Motion Detection and Face Detection Technology plus advanced Noise Reduction, together with pleasing colour rendition all delivered by the DIGIC 4 processor, mean when selecting AUTO mode on these latest models, users can be assured of the best in image quality even in more challenging shooting conditions.
Smart Auto overview:
Using Scene Detection Technology, Smart AUTO can distinguish parameters allowing the camera to carry out optimum processing for a shot by:
-Detecting people
- Evaluating Distances
- Evaluating Subject and camera movement information
- Analysing Scene Brightness
- Analysing Colour

“The $799 Canon EOS Rebel T1i inhabits an exclusive class of DSLRs that provide strong image quality, fast speeds, and HD video for a reasonable price. Overall, we prefer the Nikon D5000 because of its more intuitive interface and low-light performance, Plus, it costs $170 less. Nevertheless, the T1i is a very strong contender.”

MacWorld reviews the Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i and writes;
“Overall image quality is great, and the camera does a startlingly good job of shooting in low light at high ISOs. While the previous Rebels began to suffer above ISO 800, the T1i delivers fantastic results at ISO 1600, and even produces usable images at ISO 3200. This supposedly lower-end camera delivers high ISO results that are better than you’d have seen with the pro cameras of just a couple of years ago.”

PhotographyBay reviews the Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i and writes;
“Overall, I highly recommend the Canon Rebel T1i to anyone looking for a feature-rich and very capable DSLR on an entry-level budget. There are plenty of great DSLRs on the market – some offer more features and some may be cheaper. However, this is the best Rebel yet. Image quality rivals cameras much more expensive than it and, if you buy something cheaper, you’re going to miss out on some cutting edge stuff that only the Rebel T1i offers.”

Pocket-Lint reviews the Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i and writes;

PCMag reviews the Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i and writes;
“images looked spectacular and were on a par with those of the more-expensive Canon 50D, since both cameras use the same sensor. At lower ISOs (100, 200, and 400), the T1i captured 2,102, 2,079, and 2,035 lines per picture height, respectively. These numbers are very impressive and go hand in hand with mega-sharp images”

RobGalbraith has a preview of Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i;
“Our first impression of the Rebel T1i sound quality is that it’s a notch below that, but still serviceable for a built-in mic (and noticeably better than the Nikon D90’s built-in audio)”
CNET has a preview of Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i;
ImagingResource has a preview of Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i;
“So it’s pretty clear, if the Beta unit’s quality holds up, that the Canon Rebel T1i’s image quality is at least as good as the Canon 50D, delivering more detail than most of the 12-megapixel cameras on the market for less money.”
WDC has a preview of Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i;
Gizmodo has a preview of Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i;
“So with the T1i, you get a sizable chunk of the more expensive 50D’s imaging performance plus an arguably better spec-wise video capture mode than the D90—a pretty sweet deal here at an entry-level price where even the MSRP beats the street price of the 50D and D90 both.”
DCI has a preview of Canon EOS 500D/Rebel T1i;
“The T1i offers a nice balance of flexibility for sophisticated shooters and point-and-shoot auto mode for compact camera converts…As for the control buttons, the layout is easy to master and labels are legible and well placed, with two exceptions (the focus lock and focus area labels sitting on top of the camera while the buttons are on the back below).”
Much better than my XTi by Adam Boutin | Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
“This camera performs much better than my Canon Rebel XTi, which I upgraded from. Image quality is better, buttons are laid out more intuitively, and the LCD screen is amazing. I have had the camera for a month, and I have been very happy with the pictures and movies I have taken.”
Excellent!! by C.Merida | Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I just made the transition from my Canon PowerShot to this recent model, and although it was a little uncomfortable in the beginning for what I was used to (the change of a digital camera to a DSLR), I am very happy with my decision, it’s excellent for a new user wanting to upgrade and take it to a next level of photography. And the hd video is a super plus!!! I totally recomend it

Canon Powershot D10 is a 12 megapixels rugged Digital Camera features 3x optical zoom (35mm film equivalent: 35-105mm) with Optical Image Stabilizer System, ISO 80-1600, and a 2.5-inch TFT color LCD. The camera is waterproof to 33 feet, cold resistant from 14-104°F and shockproof up to 4 feet.
[Canon Powershot D10 Features & Specifications]

PCW.uk reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“Good points: Freezeproof, waterproof and shockproof, whereas many rivals offer one or the other; larger-than-average buttons and spacious layout allows operation when wearing gloves; good picture performance Bad points: Plasticky look and feel and unattractively rotund design; twice the price of a similar standard compact; battery and card compartment fiddly to open even without gloves”
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
DCI reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“Overall, we found the D10 to be an excellent camera for adventurous types, with a good balance of ease of use and robustness. If your idea of fun is skiing down a volcano, parachuting off a glacier into the ocean and riding a whale into the sunset, the D10 should survive as long as you do (and will perhaps be discovered by the search party with the photos still intact). However, it might be overkill if all you need is photos of the kids in the paddling pool. .”

CameraLabs reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“PowerShot D10 is an excellent all-round digital compact that is designed specifically for use in the water and other ‘challenging’ environments. With a 12.1 megapixel sensor, 3x digital zoom and 2.5in LCD it’s specifications may not set your heart racing, but within these boundaries it does what it does very well and produces excellent quality photos.”

Pocket-Lint reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“Those hitting the slopes might want something more compact, but for those who want something easy to grip and happy in all weathers, the Canon PowerShot D10 is well worth a look”

CNET.asia reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“he good: Good image quality; interchangeable front plates offer unique customization; good range of available accessories. The bad: Average feature set; bulky design may not appeal to everyone; strap mounts not universal. The bottom line: The PowerShot D10 delivers better image quality compared with its competitors, but its features could have been more robust. .”
DPInterface reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“I would recommend the Canon PowerShot D10 to anyone who needs a tough camera that can handle all the rigors of daily life (and more) thrown at it. Canon certainly did a lot of homework when they entered the rugged camera arena – the PowerShot D10 is a well-rounded camera in terms of design (no pun intended), performance and image quality output. The only big thing that may set you off is the D10’s size – compared to the pocketable competition, this thing is huge; and no, it doesn’t fit into your pants pocket..”

ePhotozine reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“From a photographers point of view, it doesn’t look too good with mild colour inavading at the lowest ISO80 setting. This doesn’t really change much until ISO400 where it becomes much more aggressive…. From a consumers view, the noise showing at the low settings won’t be an issue and you’ll really probably only get bothered by it over ISO400.”
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
CNET reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“The good: Excellent photo quality; comfortable to use in water or with gloves. The bad: Poor design for an everyday camera, expensive for an occasional camera; kind of ugly; mixed performance. The bottom line: It might not look quite right, but the PowerShot D10 is a solid entry into rugged cameras for Canon.”
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
PhotoReview.au reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“Low light performance was well above average with no noise visible up to ISO 400. Noise began to appear at ISO 800 and at 1600 and, due to automatic noise-reduction processing, images looked noticeably softer than shots taken at low ISO settings. Our Imatest tests confirmed the loss of resolution at ISO 800 and above… “

Engadget reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“All told, Canon’s PowerShot D10 is a stellar adventure camera. It’s more than just a waterproof camera that’s only marginally larger than a standard P&S, it’s a rugged, lightweight shooter that should suit most everyone but the professionals in attendance.”
Rating: N/A
TechRadar reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“The Canon worked fine in freezing conditions, though the LCD display was more sluggish than at normal temperatures. Underwater, the D10 proved fine and the LCD’s wide angle of view will prove useful for close-ups at awkward angles. “

Cameras.uk reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“The Powershot D10 has a distinctive, fun look that means it will not get mistaken for any other digital camera. It has a number of robust features and is waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof to varying degrees. It takes a good snap and is well worth a close look. “
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
ImagingResource reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“Canon PowerShot D10 is a unique, solid underwater digital camera with above-average depth capability, and resistance to freezing weather and impact. The interface is well-designed and familiar to existing Canon users. It’s also a kick to use in the water, and fun in any outdoor activity. Speed is good, about as fast as the average digital camera, and its video mode also works well above and below the water.”

TechTree reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“The pictures we clicked were of average quality; at par with similar 12 MP cameras… I must say, color and skin tone reproduction of the D10 is quite good. Videos and images shot underwater were pleasing too, with the D10 exhibiting good noise suppression at ISO settings of 400 or higher; but images keep getting softer “
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
GoodGearGuide reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“The design of the Canon PowerShot D10 is spot-on for a ruggedised camera. It feels good to use and, most importantly, it’s very easy to use. It takes clear photos but we wish it rendered them with more contrast. Pick it up if you’re after a ruggedised camera for snorkelling, or just to use while you hang around the pool.”

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
PhotographyBlog reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“A decent compact camera with a separate underwater housing would cost as much, if not more, than the PowerShot D10, and you wouldn’t get the other benefits or convenience either. The D10 will mostly appeal to the more active user, but is still a good bet simply for taking to the beach this summer.”
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Steve’sDigicams reviews the Canon Powershot D10 and writes;
“Outdoors the D10 produces realistic photos that show good exposure and true colors. Images are nice and sharp in the center… On top of that, the D10 offers blazing fast performance, so you can be confident that you are going to capture that shot when you press the shutter button. “

Another Awesome Camera by Canon by Dan |Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
“I’ve had this camera for about a week and am very pleased with the results so far. It’s very easy to use and takes great pictures. I love the color adjustments available in the Program mode and I like the useful special scene modes. Colors seem true to life and resolution is excellent. It also starts up within about a second or less. I took one of my best pictures ever on Memorial Day and am looking forward to taking many more in the future. The only thing I really miss on this camera is a function to control the flash output (available on my older PowerShot A620) and a lenscap would have been nice.”
Very Good Camera by Nicholas | Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Canon PowerShot digital camera highlights
Unique accessories available such as customized straps and interchangeable faceplates
You’re always up for any challenge. So Canon designed the PowerShot D10 with a selection of versatile accessories (sold separately) that enable you to outfit the camera to meet the requirements of your next adventure. The customized strap is a perfect choice for those who want to have their camera within easy reach, yet keep their hands free. The Canon faceplates let you distinctively mark the camera as belonging to you alone. The carabiner hook offers you a handy way to securely suspend the D10 from a belt, backpack or diving harness.
A World of Advantages with Canon’s Technology
DIGIC 4 Image Processor has evolved Face Detection Technology that tracks the faces of moving subjects and lets the shooter enter the frame seamlessly with the Face Detection Self-Timer.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon’s most advanced image processor, DIGIC 4, delivers evolved Face Detection Technology that keeps every face in every photo looking its very best. The technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you’re ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash and white balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 image processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
A Face Detection Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. For instance, to include the photographer’s face in a group shot, there’s no need to rush in. Just put the camera on a stand or tripod, specify Face Detection Self-Timer, and the camera will wait for the photographer’s face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. Motion Detection tracks moving subjects in a much larger range–allowing you to wait for the perfect shot without refocusing.
Intelligent Contrast Correction
DIGIC 4 also makes possible the i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction) system, which controls the compensation level in pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark, and more natural transition. The PowerShot D10 can even use i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were shot without the setting activated.
Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
1) Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
2) The PowerShot D10 can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.
Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times.
That’s why the PowerShot D10 features ISO 1600 setting that reduces the effects of camera shake and sharpens subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility. ISO can be expanded to 3200 when you select ISO 3200 Special Scene mode.
12.1 megapixels, plus 3x optical zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilizer
With the PowerShot D10, dramatic, personal pictures have never been easier to shoot and share. This 12.1-megapixel camera lets you create impressively large photos of family and friends you’ll be proud to display. The high-resolution images taken by the D10 can be enlarged up to 13 x 19 inches.
The PowerShot D10 has a 3x optical zoom that gives you the power to shoot distant subjects with razor-sharp precision and stunning lifelike color.
The PowerShot D10 is equipped with Canon’s acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake–one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you’ll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is so convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.
Blink Detection
Nothing ruins a great picture more than having your subjects’ eyes closed. That’s why the PowerShot D10 is equipped with Blink Detection. If closed eyes are detected, a “blink warning” icon appears for 3 seconds, allowing you to retake the shot before your subject or subjects move on. Blink Detection provides you with extra assurance when capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments like planting the flag at the summit of the mountain.
Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper settings
Just set the Canon PowerShot D10 to Smart AUTO and you’re ready for maximum enjoyment from your picture taking every time. It’s a relaxing and satisfying way to shoot because you can completely concentrate on your subject knowing that the camera has the technical details covered. Advanced Canon technology intelligently analyzes your situation and shooting conditions. Then it automatically selects an appropriate setting from 18 specially defined settings. So whether you’re photographing flowers, a captivating sunset, or your friends at the park, you can be confident that you’re getting dramatic, memorable images.
Shooting Modes
Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions. With 19 Shooting Modes including 16 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way
