Check out this review of the G10, with direct comparisons to the G9 vs G10 at the end of the G10 only review.

iv used both. never owned a G9 but iv gotten
to play around with one to compare it to my G10.

IMHO the G10 produces better color and slightly better image quality.
NR is a bit better but hard to notice unless your looking at a 100% crop.
the G10 has better external controls, and the addition of servo AF makes
for some great action shots.

the biggest difference lies within the lens. do you often use the full reach of
your G9? if not then the wider lens of the G10 might appeal to you. i almost
never zoom with my G10, and iv always been a wide angle shooter, so it was
no brainer for me btween the 2 in that respect.

for a lot of people i dont think the differences will be worth the hassel and money
of upgrading. for me they would be had i owned a G9, seeing as I couldve sold my
G9 for almost as much as a G10.

I sold my G9 and bought a G10 and I agree with NJdez above, 100%. I'm delighted with the G10, was not so much with the G9.

I sent my G 10 back to B&H as I noticed no significant difference in image quality and I also prefer the longer reach of the G9. The exposure compensation dial on the G 10 was very nice but I didn't feel it worth the price of the G 10. The G 10 has upped the megapixels which in my opinion cancelled out the advantage of the digic 4 processor. It is still a very noisy camera above 200 ISO. The differences between the two cameras ( aside fron the difference in focal length ) were not that great. If I didn't already have a G9 I would probably buy a G 10. I just don't feel it improved enough to make the switch.

you don't get the time lapse function on the G10 which can be great fun on the G9 and you dont get the 1024x768 movie mode that the G9 has. The G10 is also slower in terms of continuous shooting.

Thing I really like about the G10 is the wider lens - but that is about the only major advantage for me. I could not really tell the diff in terms of image quality. After playing with the G10 I have decided to wait for a G11 with hopefully a larger sensor, quicker lens and the ability to record HD video

The G10 has Interval Timer Shooting via the Remote Capture DC feature in the software bundle that comes with the G10, you set the Interval, total number of frames...etc. The only thing that sucks is you do have to have the camera connected to the computer obviously...but it's there. The G10 also features a much improved LCD that is very, very nice to have considering that even though the optical viewfinder is slightly better(covers more area) than the G9, it's still inaccurate. Having a dedicated Metering button on the G10 is also nice for those who change their metering often as opposed to having to assign a button on the G9. The ergonomics of the G10 is another improvement with the new grip, I have heard many complain about this on the G9 and then end up spending the extra money for a custom grip to achieve what the G10 already has. I've heard more people complain about the G10's lack of the time lapse feature more than anything else, but I could care less about it. As far as image quality goes, it's hard to tell from internet shots that have been compressed to jpegs, but I would have to assume that in good lighting conditions the G10 would have an edge with detail given the increased MP count, although those extra mega pixels hinder the G10 in low light conditions. I have heard very little complaint about image quality from either camera from anyone who knows how to utilize them in their given conditions. The exposure compensation dial on the G10 is another nice feature over the G9 that I use quite often. A better grip, sharper Image, better screen, improved button layout, Servo AF, and a wide lens was enough to win me over.

unless you shoot at ISO 100, I'd say go for a different brand. the G series are horrible at anything over 100 ISO

[papagei]

I have shot 5000+ images on my G9 and I love that little camera. I wondered about the G10 as well, but decided against it with its wider lens (shorter reach) - but for IR it will be perfect! So I bought one and it is at Lifepixel being converted as we "speak" L)

I guess it depends on how you define "horrible". I find the G10 to be acceptable up to ISO 200, and the other higher ISOs are there to allow you to get an image in a pinch that you might not get otherwise.

I have not seen any review of the G10 from a reputable place make such a harsh judgement about it as the quote above.

If your comparing to a DSLR then the quality difference is noticeable. But to say... "Horrible" ? I guess it's a matter of opinion, but here are some shots I took at 400/800 ISO and I think they look rather good myself. These were shot as Jpegs and nothing done to them but reduction for the web.

G10 @ ISO 400



G10 @ ISO 800

[10megapixel]

A couple more samples ...

G10 @ ISO 400


G10 @ ISO 800


Keep in mind that I could have easily shot these in RAW and done some sharpening and noise reduction. I am impressed with the G10 at high ISO considering that it's NOT a DSLR.

[michaelnel]

Those are pretty far removed from "horrible", 10MP!
