New Gear: Canon G10 Camera Review

Guy Tal delivers an extensive hands-on review of the new Canon G10, a small but rugged new camera that might be an ideal hiking companion. “And then came the ultimate, and quite unintentional test. When pulling the G10 from my jacket pocket I didn’t hold onto the strap hard enough and it went flying. Obviously it hit the hardest piece of rock around, and at the worst angle. The corner of the camera got a nasty dent, the battery popped out and the faceplate slightly separated. After putting it back together and pushing the plate back in, I made a few test shots. It continued to work perfectly.”
