Word from the Giz is that Canon USA just announced their PowerShot G10, successor to the now seriously old G9. Unsurprisingly, the spec list is rather substantial; DIGIC 4 processor, 28mm wide-angle lens, RAW mode, 5x optical zoom, 14.7 megapixels and a 3-inch LCD. As of now, still no official word from Canon Singapore, but the US release lists the G10 as having a MSRP of about US$499.

On a more personal level, I’m on the hunt for a new digital camera, but contemplating between going for a regular compact, or right on to a proper DSLR. Either that, or go for something in between, like the G10, or even Panasonic’s tasty Lumix LX3. Given that i’m probably going to restrict the budget to give or take S$1000, my options arent going to be very extensive. Food for thought, no?
