Canon PowerShot D10 12.1 MP Digital Camera - Silver blue

This camera fit a specific need for my offshore fishing business. Its not only compact, and easy to operate, but also able to withstand the rigors of bouncing around a boat. The main fearure I purchased it for was the water tolerance. Not only is this camera able to take being splashed while on the boat, I can take it snorkleing down to 33'. Ontop of all this harsh enviorment features, its 12 megapixel is good for high quality photo's, and good video.
There are many more features built into the processor that I will likely never use such as an indicator to tell you if someone had their eyes closed! The zoom is on the limited size since its a waterproof unit, and the mechanics of it must be internal, but the range it does have is certainly better than a 'point and shoot'. This canera would make a very good all around camera, especially for the adventurous type that finds themself camping, hiking, fishing, etc., but also good for those with young ones that like to be involved in photography, since its shock resistant to 4' plus. I a have full sized digital Canon SLR, with all of the different lenses, and its great for specilized photography, by this little Canon offers a lot in a little package.

This camera produces high quality images! I tested it in the dark last night and the flash is more powerful than most point and shoot cameras, probably because it needs to be more powerful for underwater photography. I'm not used to using canon cameras, although I know they make quality equipment, and I was able to figure out the basics of how to use all the functions within about 15 minutes of playing around with the camera. It really does take good pictures.

I already have a nice Digital SLR that I use for most of my high end stuff. I realized, however, that I miss a lot of great shots simply because I don't always want to lug around my big SLR. So I was looking for a tough, durable point and shoot camera that I wouldn't have to worry about breaking and could pack around for everyday use. With this one being waterproof and shock resistant, plus with canons quality optics, I decided to go with it and I am not dissapointed in the least. It is a fairly expensive, but durable, and good choice for a backup to my digital SLR.

The only Con I see are that it is slightly bulky, but not bad, but it does feel different in your hands.

i am a point and shoot lover, i usually stick to the small powershot elph sd780 but i decided to try waterproof after my lens broke down a 2nd time (1st time my fault, second time bought it used with a bit of lens problem already so not the fault of the camera). the size intimidated me at 1st but it's actually not too bad. and the lens doesnt come in and out which is nice because i have had a problem with those as i mentioned before... except it doesnt have a cover over the lens so gotta be careful to keep it from getting scratched. that's the only thing i am worried about.

great quality photos. if you take a macro photo of your eyeball you can see so much detail (that's how i test cameras for quality). comes with a manual focus option but i'm not sure that it does too much. video is pretty great, it seems to refocus for you when you get closer to things which i have never noticed a point and shoot do. fun to use in the shower. if you look up canon d10 on www.flickr.com, u can see some wonderful underwater shots it has taken. i hope to use it for that someday.

We love snorkeling, we often go the beach and outdoors and this camera is really made for outdoors! We own other great cameras but hesitate to take them to the beach (sand or rain can damage them!). We did not want to bother and use housing - it makes camera bulky and you need to put it in, take it out... Not for us. And cost of housing is high. This camera is made for the beach, for the sand, for the water activities! I'm looking forward to our next vacation and some nice underwater and beach pictures! Settings are very easy to navigate and quality of pictures are awesome (we have other Canon powers hot home - quality is hard to beat). Size is very good, lightweight is a plus, straps attaches and removes easily; it has all the conveniences we were looking for!

Awesome camera. The newest underwater highest pixel camera on the market. The dealer I found on ebay had the accesories in the pictures that aren't included.
The leashes complete the sysytem because the camera has a female connection that twists on quickly. The three different cords are made of light metal.
The camera is one of the best on the market that include video mode, flash auto, and manual modes.
I would reccomend this camera for a trip to a beach or just hanging out with your family on the porch. An absolute must for water sports.
