- Street Photography with the Canon Powershot G10
I kinda like CCD sensor cameras and the Nikon D70 was probably one of my favourites I've ever owned. Recently I've been looking into other cameras that have CCD sensors and stumbled across this little beauty.

love the content on point and shoot ❣️
Thanks for watching 🖖
Another great video Dave 👍 looks like a useful addition to the camera collection!
Aye it's a fun little camera. You'll have to give it a whirl next time we get out👍
I’ve been finding photography channels like yours really inspiring lately! This has been really informative and the photos are great too. I’ve just ordered a Powershot G11 and I’m excited to get out there and take more photos! Thanks for vid 😄
Thanks for watching, Nick🖖
Great images
I have only recently discovered your channel David, it's great to see someone showing what older cameras are capable of.
Keep up the great work.
Appreciate that, Andy. Thanks for watching mate 🖖
just for the record David, I now shoot with a canon 5d MKII and a canon 50d after spending far too much on trying t keep up with the new tech :)
A couple of classics there. That 5dii is another that's on my list👍
Really like these G10 videos. To be honest I quite like the jpegs it produces, especially the colours on a nice bright day.
That said, you can really see the benefit of editing RAW, especially those awesome night shots! 👍
CCD is great
Absolutely agree! Thanks for watching 🖖
I gotta say David, I really liked the images from this camera. I don't shoot film, but I follow some film street and urban photographers and some of these images reminds me of their work. Some of that might come down to your street editing style, but I definitely saw some of that in the JPEG files. It definitely has more of an older, organic look to it straight out of camera. Even the low light images looked really nice on the computer screen. Really great stuff as always mate. Have yourself a great weekend over there!
Thanks, Paul. I think part of the look is the CCD sensor and that little camera really surprised me. I'm tempted to pick up another Nikon d70 to compare the two. Take care mate and thanks for watching 🖖
I have the older G7.....just fantastic
Yep. Love the photos I've taken with my G12 than the ones I've taken with my Nikon Z50.
Great info and thank you for sharing your photowalk. :)
Thanks for watching, have a great day 🖖
It kinda makes you wonder why we drop over 1K on a camera, when you can produce images like this! Brilliant video, as always!
Thanks very much, mate. While there are clear reasons to have modern cameras (my main system being Sony) there's no reason to get into debt to enjoy photography. Little cameras like this will produce the goods in most situations and they're fun as hell to use. Thanks for watching 🖖
Hey David love your color touches on the raw images. Bravo!!
Thanks very much🖖
Do you have any Idea which Powershot g9-12 with CCD produces the most „pleasing“ images/colors? I think Low Light Per. is secondary to me. since none of them will be superb. Thanks
@numismatic78 I guess it depends on what you like, but I don’t have experience with all of them so can’t say if there’s any real difference. Sorry I can’t be more helpful
@@DavidFlowerOfficial no worries.. thanks for replying:)
As always, good stuff! First point and shoot video or have you done these before?
No this is the first, I picked it up pretty cheap after looking at what was available with the CCD sensors. Very surprised with the images and it was great fun to use. Thanks for watching 🖖
I’ve used the g10 for sometime now ,I have lots of other cameras but this camera is special. It was often sold as a backup camera for the canon 5d and there’s good reason it was .
It looks very much like film and it is a fun camera to use .
That and the first gen g1x are fabulous gems
Yeah the g10 is always in my camera bag now. I might have a look at the g1x. Thanks for watching 🖖
Is g15 much different from g10?
In a word, yes.
The G15 had a completely new sensor in it (12mpx CMOS vs 14.7mpx ccd in the G10).
With this came slightly better high iso performance (although still not great because the sensor is still tiny)
A faster lens (1.8-2.8 vs 2.8-4.5 on the G10)
and lots of other features like 1080 24p video and improved auto focus.
What makes the G10 special is the combination of the highest resolution of any of the original G series cameras and that it a ccd sensor to boot.
As you might be able to tell, I really like this camera 🖖😁
@@DavidFlowerOfficial So you find that ssd is better than CMOS? When Canon g's stopped with ssd? There were still 11 and 12 I think
@dasIDS I wouldn’t say better, but they produce a look that’s different to CMOS sensors and I really like it. If memory serves the G11 and G12 were both lower resolution but still ccd sensors. The G15 (there is no 13 or 14) was the first in the series to use the cmos sensor. Ccd sensors are much more expensive and use more power than cmos sensors which is likely why they, along with Nikon and likely others made the switch for their consumer cameras. Canon only used a ccd sensor in one of their dslr models, the original 1D, whereas Nikon, Leica and Fujifilm continued to use them for a fair while longer.
Awesome video and great shots! Looks like a great camera for landscapes & having a bit of fun! I’m thinking of picking up either this or a G1x for my holiday coming up. Really want to make a series to possibly print out large format afterwards… do you think the files that come from this camera would be good enough for decent sized prints?? Thanks.
Thanks very much 🙏
I'm not sure how the newer G1x performs in relation to the G10 and I've never printed any images from the G10 so I couldn't say how they look. I've printed 6mpx apsc images up to about A3 and they look fine so I suspect the images would look fine as long as the ISO was kept on the lower side. Thanks for watching 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial thanks for the quick reply. I’ve had a look at some sample images online and at full resolution they are pretty impressive how large they can go without losing quality!
Nice work man.
You inspire. Keep it up.
Thanks a lot man 🙏
New to the channel. Enjoying your videos and great photos. What do you use for raw editing? You got impressive results from the little PowerShot.
Hey, thanks for watching. I use lightroom classic for all my raw development. The raw files from that little G10 are great to work with 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial Thank you David.
Scored one with two batteries charger and some filters for $50, excited to start shooting
Oh that’s a bargain and the extra batteries are always a good thing. Hope you have fun with it 🖖
Awesome shots as usual mate
I really enjoyed this video specially the BNW shots
Well few can appreciate what a CCD sensor can do
I do have a CCD sensor on my old Nikon D70S
It’s only 6.1 Megapixel but I do enjoy using it on the streets
Old Cameras with CCD are so much fun to use
You should try a Nikon with a CCD sensor there are many cheap choices if you want to pick one So think about it bro
Thank You so much…
Have a nice evening
Hey mate, thanks for watching. My first introduction to CCD was actually a d70. I also had a d40 and d3000 with CCD and loved them all. I definitely want to get myself an old Nikon again 🖖
Wow same vibe with me : even if I have newer cameras, I take sometimes my D70S and D40 for street photography. Those CCD sensors deliver images with characters. I love them. It seems like there is a resurgence today toward those old CCD sensors
@bobamarmstrong Ih I absolutely love the D70. I’ve owned 2 so far (both broke) and I almost dropped on a D40 earlier. There’s something lovely about those low resolution ccd sensors🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial exactly. They are cheap nowadays. You can them between 20-30€ here in France. I bought them for nostalgia and to practice with them : enjoying the process of doing photography and not worrying about gear
The images look great out of that camera David - not that you can really evaluate them that much after they've been through the UA-cam compression but the bloke on the bridge at 1:25 has a lovely silky smoothness. The tripod night time shots look great too - I always love that Red triangular building.
Yeah it's not a bad little camera given its age. Fun fact about that red building, other than it's one end of the footbridge I have no idea what it is😂
It looked like it was being used as a workshop or something during the recent Netflix filming in the town, but other than that I have no clue lol.
Thanks for watching, Tim🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial I'd assumed it was something really important, like an art gallery or whatever.
Not a clue. Maybe it's just me being ignorant though lol
@@DavidFlowerOfficial It's probably the most dull thing you can think of...........or maybe the entrance to an underground command bunker!!!
@@GrumpyTim ok now I want it to be that😂
Nice shots! Old is not always bad, maybe new is overrated? 🖖
I've been saying for a long time that we've hit a point of incremental upgrades with tech. Some of these cameras from over a decade ago still work brilliantly. Thanks for watching, Alex🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial that’s why I still shoot my 5D classic 🖖
@@alexSpunkt. Still have the 5d classic on my list. Definitely gonna have me one of those 🖖
Some great images there David, considering the camera you’re using. I’ve 7 35mm SLR’s I’m putting films through to make sure they’re all working plus some point and shoots, mainly 35mm again, it’ll take me a while as you shoot much slower with film and there’s no way I can get them all developed on one go. I’ve two films ready to go to a lab, 2 more in cameras and one that I can’t make up my mind which camera to use, I may put it in my Pentax AF Zoom 70, not a great camera I believe but I may sell a few to go towards a digital point and shoot, something slightly older like the one you used
Thanks, Brian. It's a really capable little camera that G10. It's definitely fun to have a little camera with a decent zoom range. Thanks for watching 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial I used to have the G7 X, loved it and cost me nothing too, I won it just by filling in an online competition with the Independent newspaper
Hi David, just binged watched your G10 street videos after seeing Chris Baitson have a go with your G10. They have encouraged me to get my old G10 out of the cupboard, charge the battery and give it a another go. I noticed in one of your videos you used P mode is this the norm for you or do you prefer aperture priority. Any tips to get me back on the G10 road once again rather then me lugging my full frame around all the time would be welcomed. Many thanks and great vids
Hey thanks for watching. I always shoot in manual on just about every camera except the G10 and that’s mainly because the sensor is so small.
Most things are in focus even at f2.8 so using it in P mode in good light, means the only thing you have to consider is the composition and the G10 I’ve found does a great job of nailing the exposure if you set expose compensation down to about -2/3rds of a stop or so just to protect those highlights. Hope that helps, Phil. Have a good one🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial ... many thanks for the reply. I'll definitely give it a go ... cheers
I'm the same fella. I prefer the more organic pictures to the ultra-clean ones. More vibey. I'm a dirty bastard anyway.
Haha, shooting with something like this G10 certainly is a refreshing change from high megapixels and clinically sharp lenses. 🖖
Looking to get i to street photography starting with point and shoot. Trying f to choose between lumix zs100 or Canon g15. Any chance you have experience with either?
Unfortunately I haven’t used either of those. If the G15 is anything like the G10 though, it’s probably a great camera to get started with🖖
Did you use an external lens for these shots?
If by ‘external’ you’re referring to the telephoto adapter etc. no, this is all the regular lens🖖
Good video - apart from the cheesy "UA-cam Tunes". Older cameras do not suddenly take worse pictures than when they were new and they have a lot to offer.
I quite like cheesy UA-cam Tunes😂
Older cameras offer great value, especially right now with the current financial situation and even little compacts like this one can produce great images. Thanks for watching 🖖
can you give me the pictures style you usually use on your canon camera for street photography ? Please I'm your bigfan , thank you very much 😢♥️
This particular camera only has scene modes unlike the newer or DSLR style canons. In this video it's just set to Raw + jpeg and that's about all the control I had over the look of the images beyond exposure. For all of my other canon cameras I use the "Faithful" picture style🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial Thank you , my father will buy for me new camera in tomorrow and i really want buy canon 80d with less 50mm f1.8 , omg that amazing, i hope everything is good 😁😊
I own the G11 and I find the metering to be really bad, I.e., clouds are great foreground practically black, or foreground great sky blown out.. can’t quite get it right, tried spot, centre and evaluative 🙄
I know these cameras don't have the greatest dynamic range, but I've never encountered that in the G10. I often shoot at 80 iso, P mode and with -1/3 or -2/3 exposure compensation and the exposure is usually fine using evaluative metering. Thanks for watching 🖖
ow and keep the canon there going up in price
I think compact cameras are getting more expensive across the board as film prices rise since many people are using them as an alternative to get a “retro” look.
After getting this, I tried to find how to use picture sytles similar to the feeling of Fujifilm gears. Couldn't find any. But thanks to your videos, I've realized it's good enough.
Yeah I made a video recently using the picture styles on canon dslrs and checked to see if it was possible to use them on the G10. It’s disappointing for sure but as you say, the G10 is still great.
Thanks for watching 🖖
Its amazing if you keep the camera and not just sell it off after the video :p
