I play with my new EOS D10 for about a week and really like it. I worked with Canon SLR cameras for 25 years and over, AE1 Program, A1, Elan 7e and Digital Rebel. When I started to take on the lookout for an underwater camera for snorkeling, which was my first choice, Canon, based on my many years of satisfaction with the products, and I was very happy that This camera was released two weeks before leaving on vacation. (Amazon has the camera show for pre-order until this morning. I bought in a local camera store.)
I am very satisfied with the quality of image on this camera impressed. The 12-megapixel sensor coupled with a dozen shooting modes to produce an excellent image. I used to control aperture and shutter speed on the SLR, so that only the selection of “portrait” or “Night of the exhibition” mode and let the camera do all the work seems too easy. Or if you are “portrait” is too difficult, you can “Select” Auto “and let the camera do everything. The video quality is also very good. The LCD on the back of the camera appear in compared to the Big 1 “screen on my old Digital Rebel. It’s a great show.
Orders are placed and easy to use and display the symbols associated with both informative and intuitive. You can choose to display all the settings or disable, and see only the image. One option is useful to display a grid overlay on the screen that facilitates the composition and firing the “rule of thirds to.” Optical zoom is great. Is the time it is with 12x digital zoom The kind of grainy image, but this was expected.
Macro can take pictures of one or two inches from your pattern. I had my problems with an emphasis on Digital Rebel in the dark, but Canon seems to have improved low-light focusing much. It has a feature manual focus, which indicates the distance to the subject, as you adjust the sharpness, the event that the Emphasis can really do.
I’m like the panorama function note that the previous shot in the viewfinder as you compose the next shot, allowing the photographer to future plans will be closely coordinated , effective in scenes with less distortion when they are sewn together. Panorama mode also locks the exposure value at once, so that exposure in subsequent plans, all in accordance with the first ball. ” br />
The face detection and blink detection, the two seem to operate. How the camera focuses, she moved to one side, so the photographer can concentrate on Select the right. After the shooting, if someone blinked face of the person begins to flash, which you can identify to make another record. These can be enabled or disabled depending on user needs . The pictures look very crisp, which I attribute the function of image stabilization, which can also be enabled or disabled. />
I use Photoshop Elements, so I have not loaded the Canon software and can not comment on. And as I edit photos on the computer, I doubt I’ll use some editing functions in the camera, like the sepia black and white, color swap, and improvements in different colors. I could see, which is very useful for those who print directly from the camera, without installation on a computer. ” br />
The camera does not let you shoot in RAW. I usually do not shoot RAW with my DSLR, so it does not care. It has a range of balance modes white, white balance and white balance automatically. It seems to do a good job selecting the correct shooting mode automatically. The colors seem accurate.
Some drawbacks: L ‘device is not threaded, so you’re not able to attach filters. There is no lens cover, and I’m worried about the glass surface damaged. For a fierce “adventure “camera, I am also surprised that there is no GPS chip, so that the photos are marked with the exact location. I look at old slides taken while I was walking and thinking,” which is proper Why I can not remember where I found, dass “It’s nice if the EXIF data contains latitude and longitude. (Watch comes with the Canon EOS D10″ gold “for six months now, which brings these features. The curse of being a “pioneer”.)
The microphone picks up any movement Make your fingers as you hold the camera, making it difficult to collect few films without a camera noise. The speaker on the back of the camera is also difficult to hear when playing movies from the camera, but the film sounds good when I pop the memory chip in the computer and watch in Quicktime. The films are in the file. mov, so you need to do some conversion, if you want to do something with it in Windows Movie Maker. You can also choose between a high quality 640 x 480 or lower quality 320 x 240 (I would post a video review to look like Depp, but in movies, so I tried to save them all.)
To some infrared pictures, but the picture has the typical hot spot for a large number of Canon cameras and lenses. I kept a Hoya R72 filter on the lens and took several photos. A bright sun is about 4 “exposure and all images have a blue circle in the middle.
The disadvantages are generated very low compared to larger images of this camera.
I am very satisfied impressed by this camera. It feels sturdy, takes great pictures and seems very easy to use. Although I’ll probably keep using my Digital Rebel as my main camera, I look forward to many years of fun with this camera.

I was in the fact that the camera does not disappoint with a setting for action shots. Used for the first time in Hawaii when I was in the surf, and photos of son loves surfboard. In general, the picture for other conditions are good.
really disappointed when I used the camera only two meters deep in water, just to take a picture of my son, lowering his head under water. The next day the camera was broken, with the display screen, apparently damaged by water. The regions in the battery compartment and USB connection seems to be dry, so water apparently came in other countries. Does this camera dried out the screen door open and the camera was on, but the work does not go beyond.

So many of our family vacation to the beach, has lakes, water parks, hiking and carry sensitive digital camera always been a problem. When I wore it I could not enter the water and spent more time worried about whether the sand would be worse than taking pictures of my family. I have a camera on a tour of Disney theme park when the water suddenly splashed into the trip and we lost all our photos too unhappy. With this camera, you can drop them in water and not worry about your images, if you lose the camera (what happened to me when I went overboard and had a camera in the open sea). I have other cameras that I was too lazy to check, but I am glad of that, so I sat down to write this review so excited.
It’s like Canon has added a regular camera with all the features and function waterproof. It can on the new SD780 IS, which are compared to less than fifty dollars sold. The functions are similar, except that it is waterproof and rugged and not through a viewfinder (not that one) to see many hunters shoes in wet conditions.
Some useful functions:
– Good looking waterproof camera, “cute” is very important, I liked the case that you screw on your camera and as one critic said, they can always fogged
– Waterproof Waterproof to 33 meters, good for most pools or water parks
– Lens freeze proof to 14 ° F
– Smart Auto mode, Scene mode right for any decision recognizes the works (large)
– DIGIC 4 shooting machines are better than some older Canon cameras, the stabilization optical image and motion detection to avoid image blur
– 2 5-inch LCD Extra Light, which is covered with a protective surface to prevent scratches and look good in the bright Sonnezoom
– 3x optical zoom and 12x digital
– Face
– “Blink” recognition – the camera flashes an alert when someone’s eyes are closed in Table
– Contrast Correction – can be determined by taking the picture or even later in the dark areas correctly < , br /> – The continuous shooting can you capture the Perfect Shot Water < br /> – Scene Modes – Auto mode did a good job of identifying the conditions, but if you select a profile, you can choose from – night show, Panorama (assembled images in a set), user programmable Portrait, Sunset, Beach, Fireworks, Aquarium, Underwater, Snow, Indoor, Kids & Pets, Foliage, the slow shutter speed, accent color (always a single color in an image so that water and are shown in blue jeans, while men are in black and white) and color swap (change one color to another, change the color of the boat from beige to red).
; Negatives:
– Slightly larger than the typical SD Canon, it is built on water, beach and robust application, and it ‘ is not a round-edged drive to one or two drops may
– No theme to filter
– No RAW mode
– No target is resistant to scratches but the glass
The back is fairly intuitive and you probably will not need the manual to find out. The buttons are designed for measurement and tight, and, and made out by the buttons on the back of the camera and not with the release lever, as with other cameras Canon zoom. The photo and video mode is activated by a round button next to the shutter button.
The best thing about this device? You can add it to your 6 years to give underwater images and to be able to not worry how many other “cameras” to do with real? Now I can swim in the “tent in the grounds of the Lazy River water with my family, and instead of taking some pictures of Nice along the edge to capture the perfect moment. And the best part is that the camera works equally well on land. It’s the perfect no-nonsense take everywhere (really everywhere), camera rentals.

It is a great, fast camera focuses quickly and takes good pictures. The interface is well thought out, for example, half-press the shutter button always takes you directly into the camera mode.
It is perfect for wet environments such as swimming, rafting, etc. Most of them have already been addressed in other studies, so I followed my biggest complaint of tips for new owners.
Complaints:
1) The camera is very thick, much thicker than I thought, based on images. It is almost as thick as a credit card is great! Forget it comfortably in a matching bag. In principle, this device is as big as a regular 3x optical zoom fully extended with its PowerShot.
2) Expensive, accessories expensive. I love the belt with one pair of each of the four corners, and to be really useful. I think a neck strap would be more useful, but Canon is waiting for me up to $ 100-130 for a kit sale pay (AKT-DC1), a few ribbons and colorful shell replacement!? No thank you!
3) is the standard for Canon cameras, but it is still very annoying. The camera can not as a USB drive when connected to a computer. I do not even understand what purpose the USB interface is also intended to serve. In short, if you forget to bring your card, you’re SOL
Tips:
1) Clock: You can use the current time by clicking the checkboxes Func / Set button is checked or modes camera. Do not tilt the camera vertically to see the day.
2) the test images fast fade transition between images. That’s all the way down to the first revision in the mode menu.
3) Put the most useless button to work “Print”: The “Set Print Button Settings in the first menu in the camera mode (bottom). If you’re on “film” Rec “You can start recording a video with one button rather than switching between modes and.

I am very satisfied with the quality, construction, and portability of the D10 Canon PowerShot. I always wanted a camera to take pictures while in and around water. My only suggestion is to add a plaintiff. It is difficult to image in the viewfinder LCD. The video function works well.
Extreme caution should be exercised when checking the seals around the doors. If you miss a compartment door or sand, earth, is a debris field around the joint – the flight of the camera. This is not a design flaw needs, but a question all the time, attention uses the camera in the water.
I would not be surprised if the joints must be replaced periodically.
