Is a Canon G9 or Canon G10 Better?

The Canon Powershot G series cameras are ideal for photographers who want more features and quality than with a simple compact camera but don't want the bulk or expense of a digital SLR.

  1. Release Date

    • Canon released the G9 in August 2007, and the G10 came out in October 2008.

    Image Quality

    • The G9 uses the older DIGIC III processor and offers 12.1 megapixels. The G10 uses a DIGIC 4 processor and has 14.7 megapixels, resulting in better image quality. The G9 can record video in 1024 x 768 resolution, but the G10 only offers 640 x 480 video resolution.

    Features

    • Both cameras feature a 3-inch LCD screen, but the G10's screen has double the resolution of the G9. The G9 has a 6x optical zoom, while the G10 is slightly less powerful, with only 5x. However, the G10's lower focal length of 6.1 mm enables you to take wider-angle shots.

    Reviews

    • Digital Photography Review awarded the G9 a "Highly Recommended" rating, while the G10 received only a "Recommended" rating. Digital Photography Review, however, praised the G10 for improved image quality over the G9.
