Canon PowerShot G10

Canon's PowerShot G10 digital camera is a direct successor to the company's previous PowerShot G9 model, and at a quick glance the cameras are pretty similar externally. The Canon G10 has grown just a little larger than the G9 in all directions, though, with the biggest increase being an extra third of an inch (6mm) of height. The Canon G10's handgrip and optical viewfinder have been reprofiled, and probably the biggest visual difference is that the right hand control dial on the camera's top panel is now a double-decker. The smaller upper dial controls camera modes, and the wider lower dial allows control of ISO sensitivity on the camera body -- a bit more photographer friendly than hiding this important setting somewhere in the menu system as many cameras do.
