How the Canon D10 fared in DPReview’s ‘Waterproof’ Camera Group Test (Q2 2009) – In this Digital Photography Review’s test, the Canon PowerShot D10 12.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera emerged as the overall joint test winner together with the Panasonic TS1 / FT1.
Don Wan, the reviewer, wrote:
The D10 produced the sharpest, most detailed images of all the cameras in this group test at low ISO settings, both in and out of the water. This, combined with responsive performance and a straightforward user interface that has been proven on other cameras in the PowerShot series, means that if you were shopping for a waterproof camera mainly to use in the water, then you can stop reading right now and go order the D10.
When you take the D10 into the water, the camera just makes so much sense. The big buttons, the placement of the controls, and large text in the menu system all contribute to improving the camera’s usability. The interchangeable covers and the connector carrying system are both nice touches, as is the fact that the camera can go as deep as 10m / 33ft meaning that you can actually use it go snorkeling.
