Almost 15 million pixels go into the CCD of the Powershot G10 CCD. And those pixels give you an outstanding image quality, plus an amazing choice of cropping options with the final image.
The Canon A590IS model is more geared to amateurs whereas, the Powershot G10 is very much a prosumer model. It’s clear from the long list of features.
The G10 features a 28mm wide angle lens and couples that with a 5x zoom. Optical Image Stabilisation helps you to keep the image sharp even when using the long end of the zoom – pretty essential for anyone who can’t hand-hold a camera as steadily as before. The image stabilisation feature should mean that more of your shots come out sharp.
The lcd monitor is a 3.0-inch Pure Color LCD II screen. That makes it much easier to line up your shots – no more squinting to see what’s on the screen. If you’ve never used a large LCD screen digital camera before then you’ll be astonished at just how much easier it makes life. The Canon Powershot offers a really beautiful display.
The famed Canon Digic 4 processor has been added. Digic4 offers faster operation and enhanced image quality – something we all appreciate.
Don’t forget that a camera needs some food and a camera that has extremely high resolution is going to need a lot of memory card to store its images. There’s usually a selection of well priced memory cards at places like digitalcamerafood.co.uk
That’s where cards like the sandisk 8gb sdhc secure digital card or the transcend 8gb sdhc card are so useful. An 8gb card will store a useful number of hi-res images and allow you to keep shooting for longer.
The Powershot G10 is truly a stunning example of engineering and design.
You can safely say that it will be a more practical and a better alternative to an SLR. Although it’s not the smallest digital ‘compact’ on the market, it’s probably one of, if not the best specified and ergonomically designed cameras currently available.
