Edward Taylor has written an excellent "first impressions article" on the Canon G10 for The Online Photographer. Like his review of the Sigma DP1 for T.O.P., the G10 review is written from a practical standpoint. He begins:

For serious photographers, whenever we turn our attention toward small cameras, we want to know if we are able to do serious work with them. We all know that even a plastic toy camera can produce stunning art, but that is not what we mean. We want a camera that is responsive, flexible and has sufficient image quality—so that small size is an advantage, not a compromise.
