Box opening video for Canon’s brand new waterproof and shockproof PowerShot D10 digital camera.

With the introduction from the snazzy little Canon PowerShot D10, Canon finally ventures to the one arena from the digital camera wars exactly where they haven’t gone before. The new D10 is Canon’s first underwater point and shoot, waterproof to 10 meters/33 feet. Canon has lengthy provided underwater housings for their more popular cameras, but those contraptions occasionally leak, price almost as much since the camera, and they are bulky and complex in use.

One of the most amazing things about underwater digital cameras (which appear to become pretty well-liked right now) is the fact that unlike the dedicated under the sea cameras from the past, Nikon’s venerable Nikonos for example, today’s under the sea cameras are merely tougher water resistant versions of general use compact digitals with all the bells and whistles of their above water siblings.

In hand the D10 is really a tiny bit awkward simply because of its unconventional shape, but the control layout is regular Canon – meaning every thing is familiar (to anyone who has actually utilized a Canon digital), easily accessed, and logical. The D10′s user interface is uncomplicated and straightforward with big clearly marked buttons along with a basic intuitive manage array.

There really isn’t much to complain about with the D10. It’s cheaper than the closest competitor from Olympus, it goes a little deeper than many from the other under the sea cameras in its class, and it has the toughest wrist strap ever to grace a compact digital. I’ve been utilizing Canons for much more than 10 many years and I’ve only been disappointed as soon as. That’s simply because Canon seems to know what consumers want and they provide cameras which are affordable, simple to use, feature rich, pretty compact, relatively quick, and capable of persistently producing excellent images.

The D10′s competition will come mainly from Olympus and to a lesser degree, Pentax and Panasonic, but I think the D10 will prove itself very well in this new arena. If buyers like the D10 and its successors Canon might ultimately try for any hat trick and challenge Olympus’ top-dog status in this growing niche marketplace.

In addition to the ability to slip beneath the waves, the D10 can endure extended exposure to rain, mist, jungle-like humidity, and dusty desert venues. Not just is the D10 a super general-use camera, it is also a excellent outdoor adventure camera simply because it’ll take images in problems exactly where other cameras can’t.
