Canon G10 review available
This feature-packed camera is a great buy, and perhaps the best compact non-SLR camera you can buy…
I already have a Canon G9, so for me I do not consider the upgrade worth enough. I highly recommend these pocket as they are able to take astonishing shoot (look at my Australia gallery)
