User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great pictures, but watch out for actual camera quality.
I recently bought this camera before a trip to Belize. It took great snorkeling pictures. and stayed waterproof the whole time. I never took it deeper than what I could free dive though so I can’t speak to diving depths. My friends were all very impressed with the pictures I was able to take. It was also extremely easy to use, and it was easy to change settings under water. My only complaint is that the strap attachment is not dependable. I had a strap attached to one of the corners and the metal piece on the corner of the camera actually broke off. It was just glued on! Fortunately it broke in the boat and not underwater and I was able to move the strap to a different corner. Needless to say, I don’t hold it by the strap underwater anymore as it can’t be trusted.
5 Stars Canon PowerShot D10
Got this camera for a trip to the Galapagos to take underwater pictures. It arrived early in December when my roses were still blooming and it was snowing. Took the camera for a test drive and when out into the snow and snapped away. Great macro shots, not as much zoom as my Canon S5IS but more than adequate. Next test was using the movie mode to record my granddaughter’s violin recital. Adequate pictures but next time will use a tripod.
Glad I purchased this camera and will be using it soon on my trip of a lifetime.
4 Stars Eco-Tour
This camera is used with our eco-tours & works well in and out of the water during our trips. It’s small, light & takes great pictures.
1 Stars D10 failed in less than 5′ of water in the first month of ownership
Pros: 12 megapixels
Cons: Was not rugged, was not water proof. Camera failed at about 30 days old
My wife and I bought this camera for our trip to Puerto Rico in which we intended to spend a lot of time in the ocean. On our second day in the water the display started to flicker and then eventually would not even come on. Now the camera won’t even turn on. We never went in water deeper than 5′ deep with the camera. This has been a huge disappointment. Canon has offered to replace the camera, but since they claim they do not have any dealers in Puerto Rico, I am out of luck until I can ship it back, let their techs investigate, and ship a new one. Unfortunately that leaves me high and dry on my vacation right now. I cannot afford to have another D10 fail on me while on my next vacation. My pictures and videos are worth too much to me to leave it so such a poorly designed camera. This camera is my 3rd Canon and the first time I have ever been disappointed with one of their cameras.
5 Stars Best pre-trip purchase EVER!
We’re SO glad we bought this camera prior to our trip to Fiji. It was so fun to play around with, has an amazing lens capable of depth of field shots, takes some great underwater photos, and includes lots of features I would never have expected in such a compact camera (like manual focus and spot color). It’s also really good at detecting faces - it even detected the face of the woman on the Fijian dollar!
We loved it!
