Canon PowerShot G10 released

I first learned the popular Canon Powershot G9 was being phased out on a trip to Malaysia last month.

Searching around the web today, I notice the Canon Powershot G10 has been released, and will be available in November.

Features at a glance:

• 14.7 Megapixel CCD sensor
• 5x wide-angle (28mm) optical zoom lens with optical Image Stabilizer
• RAW image recording plus support for Canon Digital Photo Professional
• DIGIC 4 for clear, sharp images, high-speed AF (including Servo AF) and fast response times
• Targets all the main causes of blur with High ISO Auto, optical Image Stabilizer, Motion Detection Technology and Auto ISO shift
• Improved Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB plus Face Select & Track and Face Self-Timer
• 3.0” PureColor LCD II (461k dots resolution) with wide viewing angle and optical viewfinder
• i-Contrast boosts brightness and retains detail in dark areas
• Dedicated Exposure Compensation and ISO dials
• 26 shooting modes with manual control and custom settings
• Smooth, 30fps VGA movies

With this year’s release of the 5D Mark II, 50D and G10, I think it will be the year for me to do some much needed upgrades.
