Canon G10 Unboxing & Why I Bought A Canon G10

I wanted to share the excitement of unboxing my new Canon G10 so I made a quick video from the webcam on my laptop. Who doesn't love opening up a new digital camera!

Many of you will probably be asking yourself why I bought a new Canon G10 when the Canon G11 has just been announced, and there's a few reasons.

First, I got a good deal on my G10. If you've been on the fence about buying a Canon G10, now is a great time to buy one as the price has dropped due to the Canon G11 announcement.

Second, I've been meaning to pick up a Canon G10 for a while now. There are lots of times that I don't want to haul out my Nikon D300 and all the accompanying gear, but I still want to take a good picture. The G10 is perhaps the best little compact digital camera out there for getting you as close to shooting with a DSLR without actually shooting with one. The G10 picture quality is incredible, and the camera is a pleasure to shoot with.

Third, I want to compare the G10 against the new Canon G11 when it comes out. As long as my wife doesn't catch me (just kidding), I'm going to buy a G11 when they hit the stores, and then I'm going to do an in-depth comparison of the two including image quality, high ISO, ergonomics, features, etc.

So tune in for upcoming articles on the G10, AND the G11 as soon I can get my hands on one.
