Canon 50D Reviews and Resources
Saturday, 01 November 2008

Canon 50D, successor to the popular 40D, features a 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 image processor, Live View, ISO 100-12800, 6.3 fps and AF Fine Tuning ability. EOS 50D is the highest resolution APS-C DSLR in the market which makes it very tempting but my experience so far (which is also supported with more advanced testings like the one in dpreview) is that this advantage in resolution is only observed when using the best lenses, otherwise there is very little difference in terms of extra detail compared to its older brother 40D and the EOS 450D (Dİgital Rebel Xsi). The noise level is very good though, considering its having the highest pixel density in its class. Below are the list of best reviews of the Canon EOS 50D published on the web so far.

Canon G10 Reviews

 

Digital Photography School

I must admit, now that my Mark II is out of the shop, I’m going to have a hard time putting down my G10. In fact, for non-professional uses, the slim, lightweight, and accessible, G10 is what I’m going to throw in my sling bag from now on.

Cameras.co.uk

The Canon Powershot G10 has 14.7 megapixels and a wide angle, 5x optical zoom lens. It is one of the most advanced compact digital cameras you can buy. In fact I can't think of one that is more advanced. It has a full set of manual exposure modes, plus extra options for flash and focusing.

DC Resource

If you're doing most of your shooting in good lighting and don't plan on shooting at the highest ISO settings, then the PowerShot G10 is worth a look. It offers a ton of features, for both beginners and enthusiasts alike, it's both expandable and customizable, and it has more Megapixels than you could possibly need. While I'm not jumping up and down about it, I can recommend the G10 to most folks.

DPReview

The G10 is a camera you don't want to put down once you have picked it up. It encourages users to take pictures, and turn the dials: to experiment and have fun. This is one heck of a fun camera to use. In the hand, it inspires confidence with solid construction and secure and comfortable hand grip. The G10 quickly becomes second nature to use, which is not something that can be said of many compacts.

Photo Review

When we embarked on our tests of the G10 we had low expectations of its resolution performance because of the relatively small size (less than 2 microns square) of the photosites on its sensor. But the test camera delivered a huge surprise. Somehow Canon has managed to extract not only superior JPEG resolution from the G10's image files - but also provided raw files that rate higher in Photo Review's Imatest test than many of the DSLR cameras we've tested this year.

Ken Rockwell
The G10 is the best compact digital camera I’ve ever used. The gotcha words are “digital” and “compact.” Maddeningly, like all other compact (non-interchangable lens) cameras, the G10 still takes too darn long to adjust or change anything.

Luminous Landscape
The net of this comparison is that while the Nikon P6000 is a fine little camera, it finds itself in the unfortunate position of being released at the same time as the Canon G10, which it would appear is an attempt by Canon to produce a full-featured pocket camera with the highest quality that they are capable of.

Cnet
The Canon PowerShot G10 is a solid enthusiast digital camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR.

PhotographyBLOG
The G10 is undoubtedly the best ever Canon G-Series camera, and is a serious alternative to both an entry-level DSLR and other similar compacts (most notably the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 and the Nikon Coolpix P6000).
