Barrel roll: Even though the Canon PowerShot D10's lens is not very wide, it still suffers from some lens distortion, or barrel roll. You can see that the vertical and horizontal lines curve noticeably towards the edges of the frame. This will give buildings and other straight-lined objects a skewed perspective. This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second, and an ISO speed of 200. -
Depth of field: Depth of field is something that digital compact cameras struggle with, but the PowerShot D10 does a reasonable job. You can see here that it has focused clearly on the foreground subject and blurred the background nicely. This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/4.5, a shutter speed of 1/636th of a second, and an ISO speed of 100. -
ISO 200: This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second, and an ISO speed of 200. The leaves are well defined, but you can see some blotchiness in the dark areas of the picture. -
ISO 800: This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of 1/640th of a second, and an ISO speed of 800. The picture now has slight blotchiness and a grainy look across the whole scene. -
ISO 400: This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of 1/320th of a second, and an ISO speed of 400. The leaves are starting to show some discolouration and are losing some definition around the edges, but the picture is still reasonably clean. -
ISO 100: This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of 1/80th of a second, and an ISO speed of 100. The leaves are still well defined and the colours are not noisy. -
Macro mode: This is a close crop of a macro image taken by the Canon PowerShot D10. You can see that it captures good detail and again renders the background with a nice blur. This shot was taken in macro mode with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of 1/79th of a second, and an ISO speed of 100. -
Colours: [[xref:http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/tag/canon|Canon's|GoodGearGuide.com.au: More about Canon]] PowerShot D10 can withstand drops from up to 1m and can function in up to 10m of water. But how does it handle everyday photography? In this first slide you can see how the D10 renders colours on a sunny day. The pegs themselves look neutral, and only slight overexposure is noticeable on the white peg. Overall, the camera handles colours well, but the overall scene lacks a little contrast. This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/4.5, a shutter speed of 1/800th of a second, and an ISO speed of 100.

ISO 1600: This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/8, a shutter speed of 1/160th of a second, and an ISO speed of 1600. The colours have changed tone, the scene looks blurry and graininess is evident. Only shoot in this mode if you are taking black and white snaps and want to get an arty effect in your photos. -
Noise: The remaining slides show the PowerShots D10's performance at all its ISO speeds, from ISO 80 to ISO 1600. This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second, and an ISO speed of 80. The leaves are well defined and the colours are not noisy. -
Chromatic aberration: The Canon PowerShot D10's lens handles contrasting areas very well. In this attempted silhouette image, there is only slight pink and purple fringing on the edges of the leaves that are blocking the sun, but the rest of the image looks good. This shot was taken in auto mode with an aperture of f/8, a shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second, and an ISO speed of 160.
