My G10 still works great. I’ve bought newer and more costly cameras since getting the G10 new in 2008 but I still like taking it out for the day. The shots it produces are very pleasing to me. Thanks for the videos.
It really is a wonderful camera and still hold the top spot for me in terms of older compacts.
Thanks for watching 🖖
I bought mine in 2010 from a professional photographer that was upgrading all his stuff. He called me the other day and wanted to buy it back. No dice. I absolutely love this thing. I am not a pro, but it does literally everything I need. Sold off my A-6000 and others and kept this
I genuinely never expected to love a compact camera as much as I love the G10. It’s such a great camera🖖
The dude called you back after 13 years?
@@286miclol 😂😂😂😂
@@286micyes, we used to work together, still talk now and then. He really wants the camera again
Just bought a used G12. Looking to get my walk on doing some street photography 🚶🏾♂️. Love the image it produces and the film sims you can play around with. Light, small and character for days. This and my little mini 3 pro will make for some fun chill outings.
Yeah I keep looking at the others in the G series but haven’t pounced yet. The G12 seems to be quite popular and I do like the idea of the articulated screen. Thanks for watching mate🖖
I had the G10 back in the day and bought it as an upgrade to my previous G7 which i kept and didn’t sell, to this day. It was my first ‘serious’ digital camera and was taken by the build quality, controls and styling. Really enjoyed it and travelled extensively with it.
Great to bring back older cameras. Irony being, as you’ve said, the files still look good for social media. Great video; thankyou.
Thanks for watching, Dean🖖
Ive had a G10 since it came out and I still love it. I use it for everything from landscapes with filters (via a lensmate adapter) to in the pocket for street style photography...
I inherited a G9 from my father in Law when it passed away. I also shot a G7 for a while before the sensor got problems.
I like the colour except that the Dynami range is quite poor, meaning each time the sky is in the frame it gets blown out.
If you want to see a nice and cool sensor which is not mainstream, try the Fujifilm XF1. that Pre-Xtrans sensor (EXR CMOSi) s really something
I find with the g10 -1/3 or 2/3rds I s sufficient in most situations to protect the highlights. Speaking of Fujifilm, I have actually looked at the pre xtrans models and they are the only Fuji cameras I’d consider since I didn’t like the raw files from the xtrans cameras I have used.
Is the Xf1 the same type of sensor as in the x10 being from around the same time?because that’s one I looked at aswell as the later bayer sensored Fujis like the XA7.
Thanks for watching 🖖
I've had one since 2009. Naturally, the best quality comes from raw capture, and shooting to protect the highlights.
I carry around and shoot on a G9 and I love that little brick.(almost the same as the G10 - CCD sensor) Great showcase
Do you know what’s the differences between them
@@leeshery18501
Love the G line. I have a 9 and a 16. Hoping to get a 10 some day.
I have a G10 and to be honest, I had no idea what I'd bought. I Scuba Dive and wanted a basic, dedicated camera with housing for underwater instead of an action camera as pictures on those things come out pretty bad most of the time. I bought this camera of a second hand scuba gear site over a year ago and only just got round to properly researching it. Your right about the battery, I charged it up over a year ago, had a little play and put it away and it's still showing full charge. I'm looking forward to capturing some images this weekend to familiarise myself with the unit before going underwater with it. It's got a lot of features for a small unit. We will see in a few weeks when I scuba in Lanzarote, how well it fairs underwater.
How did it go?
@@Dennis4Videos It went ok I think. Some of the images came out fine, others not so good. I decided to use the camera in full Auto mode, mainly because with Scuba there's a lot of other stuff going on, current, buoyancy etc. Both the housing and camera performed well but I found the massive change in temperature between air and water decreased the battery life massively. This is also because when diving you can't use the viewfinder, you have to use the screen to frame a shot. I actually missed some great footage of Ray's and Moray on my last dive because I hadn't changed the battery and the camera was dead less than halfway through. Schoolboy error... Having said that, it's a lesson learnt and I still have a few usable pictures of my dives.
Great photos 👍
Love these for urban photography and street photography...good job digicam Dave...I picked up the canon s90 and love the images I getting especially for the fun and for social media
Digicam Dave😂
I see a lot of people saying good things about the s90 and s95. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for one 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial yes yes worth it only disadvantage may be is no view finder and grip for larger ✋ hand peeps..
very good camera and i want to have it guys☺️
Фотки замечательные для такой камеры получились. 👍
Thanks very much🖖
I recently got a G10, it's a really cool little camera. Sadly mine has a considerable amount of the lens covered in fungus, but exactly because of this I paid only $15 dollars for it, so I'm willing to accept it as "character".
I've owned a G11,G12,and now I have a G15 and love it. But never own a G10. Do you like that sensor better than the CMOS sensor?
I like ccd sensors generally speaking. My first dslrs all had ccds. I’ve not actually used any of the newer Powershot models but I’d love to get one to compare with the G10.
Thanks for watching 🖖
Just picked up one and found this video haha!
I've got a G12 that I quite like
I’m yet to get my hands on one for a reasonable price. I’ve heard a lot of people saying how much they like the G12👍
@@DavidFlowerOfficial I got my first one for $130. US my second one for $150
@colnagocowboy at the moment they’re over $200 usd here which is a bit harsh for a camera of its age since I paid about a third of that for the G10.
I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a bargain though👍
I just buy one for 15 bucks on a street market on México,and pay another 13 bucks for charger and battery
I love trying all kind of old cameras
That’s a great deal. Over here these things are getting more expensive 🖖
Found my parents old G10 in the cupboard the other day, everything seems to be working perfectly except for the set button! I can power it up and view some old photos but the FUNC / SET button doesn't work so I can't click on anything. Any way you think I could repair it?
I’m not sure, I can use a camera just fine but repairing them is something else entirely. In a situation like yours it could be as simple as the thing needing a clean. Personally I’m of the opinion that if something is already not working, you can’t really make it worse so I’d have a poke around or if you know someone who is handy with electronics, let them try. Thanks for watching, I hope you get it sorted out🖖
I jak rozwiązałeś problem?
What do they go for on the second hand market? I bought one in 2008 I think, brand new, used maybe twice and still in box, leather case etc.
Unfortunately they seem to be increasing in price over the last couple of years. I got mine for under £50 because it had some damage to the rear screen which I fixed for about £6 if memory serves. Now they’re around double that in good condition 🖖
Aww, the deer and their "white bums bouncing around." Sounds very much like me when I run! 😆
Best bit of the video by far🤣
@@DavidFlowerOfficial I'm always drawn to the quirky things!😃
Great video overall with some good advice for people looking to get into compact cameras - I love mine. I was just amazed at the deer mooching about so close to a rural environment. It's not something I've ever seen!
Yeah these are the first deer I’ve seen in a space like this. Usually it’s outside the city when things start to get rural, not a bunch of scrub land surrounded on all sides by development lol
Can u make playlist of the G10?
Absolutely, I’ll do it when I get home 👍
I just realised they’re already in a playlist called Point and Shoot Life (same as my second ig)🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial found it Brother 👍🏿
Good evening amazing video please can you help me I am looking for combat camera that has amazing audio microphone because I am a musician and I’d like to record my practices and they told me that kon and G series has a good microphone is that true? Or you can guide me to which one is the best thank you for your time
I have never used a camera that had what I would consider good audio quality without the use of an additional microphone. For what you’re describing, since audio is a priority, I’d recommend looking at something like the Zoom H1n handy recorder for the audio and pretty much any camera that can shoot 1080p🖖
Some stunning images there David, were they out of camera jpeg or RAW with some editing?
I love the Canon G cameras, I've had the G7 & G12 but currently have an old original G5 with the 5mp sensor from 2003. I reckon the G9/10 was probably a 'sweet spot' though.
Thanks very much. They were all shot raw and tweaked in Lightroom. I think I’m going to grab myself one of the other models to see how they compare to the G10 because that thing is great. Thanks for watching 🖖
I have this camera at home.
I thought Instagram was unfriendly to photography after the video reels feature appeared. So sad
Yeah Instagram certainly isn’t what it was a few years ago. I’m not a fan of reels and mostly ignore them👍
whether the results of the photo edited with photoshop?
Shot raw and edited with Lightroom👍
Hello, i'm Just on my way to buy this camera for a guy.
But he say that have a card reader error any advice?
Not sure about that one. I never plug my cameras into the pc to transfer files, I always remove the cards and use a card reader. Perhaps the error is in data transfer? If that’s the issue but you can still get the images from the card it might be ok. Sorry I can’t be more help but it’s not something I’ve experienced 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial it's enough help, thank you so much.
I should take the spot to say that your pictures with this camera are absolutely awesome, maked me want to go for this camera and no a expensive one
@@DavidFlowerOfficial hello again mate.
the g10 guy never got back to me haha, So now I'm going for a g15. what is the difference between both?
@@diego.le565 I’ve not use the G15 myself, but on paper there are some significant differences. The g10 has 14.7mpx ccd sensor whereas the g15 has a 12 mpx cmos sensor which itself could result in a different look to the files. They have the same focal range of 28-140mm but the g15 has the faster lens at f1.8-f2.8 vs f2.8-f4.5 on the g10. The main reason for me choosing the g10 was that ccd sensor, but that might not matter to you. If you’re happy with the images you get, the tech specs don’t matter so much. Take it easy mate🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial thank u again haha
David what is the autofocus like on the camera?
It’s actually quite snappy. I use it in single point with afs and never had any issues. I’m not sure how the continuous af works though since it’s not something I really use outside of video 🖖
Thanks fella. Looks like a fun little cam for street photography. @@DavidFlowerOfficial
In good light, it’s absolutely brilliant 🖖
Thanks,@@DavidFlowerOfficial
Bought mine in 2008(?) as a “learning camera” before getting a DSLR (for the lenses). Love the hot shoe for an external flash, the optical viewer, and most of all the external settings options. Previously I had a point & shoot that became as useful as the first kiddie cameras because the articulating screen (wired connections back then) broke. The G10 meant I wouldn’t be stuck in the last setting like that old one PLUS I could start learning more about manual settings and their artistic capabilities before investing in the DSLR equipment. The G10 also let me start playing with an adjustable external flash which gives you better lighting options-direct the light vs straight on and you can use softening attachments for even more options. I took it with me on a trip to Europe in 2019 as backup and I’m glad I did. After a number of days on my feet lugging around my DSLR and bag, my back needed a break so I took my G10 on one of the tours instead. Thanks to all the manual settings and the ability to shoot in RAW, I was able to get a MUCH better shot, in a tricky lighting situation with restricted access, inside a Cathedral, than friend did with their much newer, fancy point & shoot! While I was limited some (lenses make a big difference), I was still able to get enough good quality shots that I don’t regret my choice that day.
It’s a fantastic little camera that lives in my camera bag and goes pretty much everywhere with me. Thanks for watching 🖖
I'm showing my age but my first digicam was a Canon G2. I loved that thing.
This camera predates the age of things like Snapseed or Lightroom social media was still a mystery back when it came out . Many were sold to photographers switching over to the original 5d from film as a backup camera .
They used to be easy to come by for next to nothing but thats changed as well.
So while it’s not great for lowlight with a fast shutter it is really quite fine for longer exposures as you said.
The subsequent g12 was a very different experience than the g10 .
The g10 images have special colours right out of the camera .
I have all kinds of better cameras but it’s still a favorite of mine .
Dropped mine on a concrete floor once and it took a screw driver and a few minutes to reseat the power ribbon and it was good as gold.
So this was a premium compact camera made to replace film cameras back in the day and in its native iso can take beautiful pics. Still the only PowerShot I actually preferred over it was the original G1x with its almost apsc sized sensor it was one of canons other different special cameras . Hard to find now but if you can get one for cheap go for it they are great for lower light not amazing but very capable,
Many cameras of the last decade and a bit were counted out because of video quality . Now we are at the end of the consumer grade compact camera era there are many little gems used waiting to be discovered.
Hello, I think the gen 1 of G1x is almost the same sensor size? I read it is like 1-2mm more on width and height.
The G10 cost slightly lesser nowadays but the G1x have wider aperture (better lens).
I do like the colour came out from the CCD sensor but the G1x look pretty much similar to other Canon DSLR.
Would you say it can be a better camera than G1x for street photography? Not like the the G1x is good at low light for what we have these days.
Hi, what do you think about the g1x (cmos) compared to the g10(ccd) id prefer the g1x for its larger sensor but i wonder if it has the look i like from the g10
The g10 was made as a companion back up for the 5d classic and is extremely juicy in terms of its colour rendition in good light .
They look quite unique but the G1x has a much bigger sensor and the lens is very sharp . If I was gonna shoot with just one as an all day pocket camera it would be the G1x.
Both are well dated now and I’d say both are classic point and shoots from the digital age but the G1x is a much higher resolution camera @@amsimun
@@wckoek sorry getting back late . I think you’re confusing the Panasonic g10 sensor size with the canon g10 sensor size.
The latter is approx six times smaller
And no the G1x is much better for street
Worth pointing out that the PowerShot S95, while in the smaller true point-and-shoot style body, still has some pretty good performance while being the last CCD compact of its body (it's a S100 spec/feature wise with the S90's sensor). I typically carry a Pentax MX-1 around. It isn't CCD, but Pentax's colors with the Q series and the MX-1 (a Q in a different shell with a fixed lens, buttons and software are even the same) are great along with a great lens. I am hesitant due to being afraid of dust getting into the lenses of my compacts and the prices going up and up, but I have my camera to use and not just set on a shelf or in a cabinet/drawer.
Hello David, I'm sorry I think I need help with this Canon G10 camera, my camera zooms itself when the camera starts up. Is there any damage to the engine or from the software? please help
I’m afraid I can’t be much help with that one, I’m no camera tech, just a regular photographer and UA-cam monkey.
only the shot and media buttons work, I don't understand what's going on with my canon g10 camera
Looks really good, is the JPG good enough or you use RAW?
Something special about these CCD cameras.
The JPEGs look a bit flat so I prefer to shoot raw with the G10🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial thanks
Awesome as always 🖖🏻
Great images! especially the long exposure early morning shots! Have you tried the positive film preset?
Thanks very much. Those long exposures were actually shot at evening blue hour. Not seen the film preset for the G10, I’ll have to look into it 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial damn felt like rainy day morning shots with blue cover! Let us know how you feel about the positive film look. Very excited about mine g10 to arrive.
Now you know you can't buy this camera at 2023
It’s pretty easy to find on the used market. I’ve found some just now on eBay. The prices of compact are unfortunately rising, but they’re still available.
Thanks for watching 🖖
