Solid performer and probably all you ever need in one package if you can't decide between a DSLR and a prosumer.

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Solid feel, colors are rich, convenient to adjust controls, wide angle is bonus
Cons: pricey.
Opinion:
Been using the G10 for a month and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Firstly it's lighter than the G9 (and smidgen cheaper) but slightly bulkier. But I like my cameras to feel like a weapon in my hand so I appreciate the solidness of it.
I'm still learning the controls but they are easy to find and adjust. For someone used to shooting on Auto, it's been a breeze and I haven't had to switch to Auto since I started.
Sometimes though, when your memory card is nearly full, it kinda lags a little but on the whole it's been great.
Was deciding between this and the 1000D but figured I wouldn't bother with the lenses etc and well, I'm glad I plumped for it.

Pros: Easy access to common functions, quick start-up for a point-&-shoot, full of features, RAW format
Cons: Heavy, chunky, wheel dial takes a while to get used to, limited optical zoom
Opinion:
The Canon G10 Powershot came heavily recommended by users of the G9 as a compact substitute where carrying a DSLR may not be appropriate.

I have still to discover the many functions and versatility of the camera but so far so good.

Wish the shutter lag wasn't as long but can't compare with a DSLR I suppose.
