Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Well, so far so good.
Real reds, lots of good features, excellent picture quality, much cleaner macros than even the Nicon, excellent controls - all and all a winner.

Of course the harshest test will be to slice open a squash and see if the orange flesh is orange or yellow in the photos. If it's orange - well, that's something no other camera I've had has gotten close to.

The G10 is terrible at detecting incandescent light and automatically correcting - but so are they all. The old Kodak was much better at that than it's three successors. A preset for incandescent fixes that problem, of course.
New Yup, that's exactly what I was afraid of.
Images from this camera are so superior in color and clarity certain classes of photos will have to be redone.
New That's a good problem to have.
You could apply a mild blur to the new images until you're ready to make a wholesale change, I suppose.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Nothing urgent about it . . .
. . it's just that more of the older pictures will annoy me until I replace them. There were plenty from the old Kodak cameras that were already annoying me.
And that's the reason I wouldn't consider a used camera - every generation seems so much better than the previous in details that are important to me.

Actually, the Nikon was pretty good and I could certainly have lived with it if it weren't for the red problem but the Canon is better. Places where the Canon really shines (other than being able to do red) is in macros and really difficult colors. Much more realistic.

The Nikon has already had all its presets reset to party mode, and it'll get its first workout in its new job tonight.
New For color accuracy . . .
. . the G10 leaves all the others in the dust. Making minor color adjustments is easy where with all its predecessors if you got one color just right others would go off in strange ways.

With the others, uncorrectable yellowness was a problem (from severe in the earliest cameras to very little with the Nikon) and if I upped the contrast a bit the images shifted to yellow. With the G10 I can apply ridiculous amounts of contrast and the colors remain stable. This leads me to believe all the others were faking their colors.
