I have my new Canon Powershot D10
for about a week and love it. I use Canon cameras for 25 years, AE1 Program, A1, seventh Elan, and Digital Rebel. When I went looking for a waterproof camera to take snorkeling, my first choice was Canon, based on my many years of satisfaction with their products, and I was very happy that this camera was two weeks before leaving for the holidays. (Amazon had the camera available for pre-order far in advance. I bought mine at a local photo shop.)I am very impressed with the quality of this camera. The 12 megapixels coupled with a dozen shooting modes, producing an excellent image. They are used to control aperture and shutter speed on camera, so just choose "portrait" mode or "night" exposure and let the camera do all the work seems too easy. Or, if you select "Portrait" is too difficult, you can select "AUTO" and let the camera do everything. Video quality is very good. The LCD screen on the back of the camera looks great compared to "a screen on my old Digital Rebel. It is a large screen.
The controls are clear and easy to use, and their icons are displayed is informative and intuitive. You can choose to view all the settings or disable them and only see the image. One of the display options at your fingertips is an overlay grid on the screen to help with the composition and the "rule of thirds." The optical zoom works great. By the time you went to 12x digital zoom, the image is kind of grainy, but that's to be expected.
You can macro shot of an inch or two of the subject. I had trouble focusing my Digital Rebel in the dark, but Canon seems to have improved low light a little fire '. It has a manual focus function that indicates the distance from the subject, if you focus, if you can not get the right focus.
I love the panorama feature that shows the last shot on the viewfinder while you prepare the next shot, allowing the photographer to closely match the next shot, resulting in panoramic images with less distortion when they are sewn together. Panorama mode also locks in the value of the first shot, so the exposure for the next shot the first shot the whole game.
Face Detection and Blink Detection, both seem to work. When the camera focuses, it will zoom in on one of the faces, so that the photographer can check focus right. After the photo was taken, if someone blinked, the person's face to identify flash so you can take another shot. It can be enabled or disabled depending on user preferences. The pictures look very clear, which I attribute to the image stabilization, which can also be enabled or disabled.
I have the camera in the sink, and covers six inches of water without problems. I'll see how it works with thirty two and a half feet above the water where it meets the Atlantic Ocean in a few weeks! The wrist strap attaches to the four corners of the camera (useful for implementation in left or right) and it seems pretty safe, so do not worry about losing if toppled by a wave.
I use Photoshop Elements, so I have not loaded the Canon software and can not comment on that. And how do I change the pictures on the computer, I doubt that some of the in-camera editing functions, such as black and white, sepia, color swap, and various color enhancements. I could see that it would be useful for those who print directly from a digital camera, edit on a computer.
The camera lets you shoot in RAW. I generally do not shoot in RAW with my camera, so it does not bother me. It has several white balance settings, white balance and white. It seems to do a good job selecting the correct shooting conditions in AUTO mode. The colors displayed correctly.
Some drawbacks: The camera is not threaded, so you can not filter. There is no lens cap, and I worry about damaging the surface of the lens. For a camera rugged "adventure", I am surprised that there is no GPS chip, so the photos may be marked with the exact location. I look at old slides taken while I walk and think "is clean, because I do not remember where I found it." It would be nice if the EXIF data recorded latitude and longitude. (Note Canon PowerShot D10

"Gold" in six months with these characteristics. The curse of being an early adopter.)The microphone picks up every movement of your fingers as you hold the camera, so it's hard to catch the movie without any sound of the camera. The speaker at the bottom of the camera is also difficult to hear when playing movies on the camera but the film sounds good if I pop the memory of the computer and watch in Quicktime. The films are produced in the. mov then you need to do some conversion, if you want something with it in Windows Movie Maker. You can also choose between a higher quality of 640 x 480, or lower-quality 320 x 240. (I would post a video review, but it looks like a sucker for movies, so I will spare everyone.)
Tried a couple of pictures of Infrared-taking, but the picture is the hot spot featuring several Canon cameras and lenses. I was a Hoya R72 filter on the lens and took some photos. sunlight exposure is about a 4, and all images have a blue circle in the center.
The disadvantages are very low compared to large images this camera produces.
I am very impressed with this camera. It feels very sturdy, great photographer, and it seems very easy to use. Although I'll probably stay on my Digital Rebel as my main camera to use, I certainly look forward to many years of fun with this camera.
