Canon Powershot G-10

Full frontal - the G-10 now features a 28mm-140mm zoom lens

The mother of all Canon powershot G-series pocket camera is here. Canon marketing had recently announced at Germany's Photokina trade show that their new flagship compact digital camera will be out to replace its current Powershot G-9.

This is the compact that most professionals and serious amateur photographer is waiting for. It is expected to debut later this year and the G-10 has some subtle improvements that I find impressive.

First off, it will come with a wide angle lens, eliminating the need for an adaptor. Its 140mm zoom feature is what I would want for snapping long tele-shots that gives some good 'compacted' landscape scenes.

Now, I would expect its pricing to float around RM1,900 when it hits the market. And well, having played with most of the G-series compacts, this one is definitely on my 'want-list'.
