Canon 10-megapixel Digital Cameras

Canon PowerShot G11

The pro-orientated, 10-megapixel PowerShot G11 is expensive and heavy, but it's one of the best serious compacts on the market. Its cast-iron body and chunky external dials are excellent, its image quality is good, and its 5x wideangle zoom is sharp right through its focal range and right to the edges of the frame, too

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS

Rival compact superzooms may be speedier, have more features and sport sleeker designs, but the 10-megapixel PowerShot SX120 IS with 10x zoom has an ace up its sleeve: its best-in-class photos. Clean, sharp and offering plenty of detail, its photos also deliver vivid and generally excellent colours

Canon PowerShot A480

Considering how cheap it is, the 10-megapixel PowerShot A480 takes good photos. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to better them at this price point. You should look elsewhere if you're after anything besides basic snapshots, but, otherwise, this small, attractive and fuss-free snapper delivers the goods

Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS

The Digital IXUS 95 may be pretty, and it may be a Canon, but if you've got around £180 to spend and all you ask is a 10-megapixel sensor and a 3x zoom, it'd take you a week to read through the list of candidates. The IXUS 95 stakes its claim with beautiful design, an optical viewfinder and better-than-ever face-detection

Canon PowerShot A1000 IS

The Canon PowerShot A1000 IS might not blow your socks off with its design, but if you want a 10-megapixel pocket camera with the convenience of AA batteries, an optical viewfinder, optical image stabilisation and a low price, this camera has them -- and it takes good photos, too

Editor's rating 6.8

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

The 10-megapixel PowerShot SX1 IS superzoom is one of the best cameras in its class, providing similar performance to a digital SLR, plus a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which dSLRs can't provide. Some irritating design quirks are compensated for by speedy performance and good picture quality

Canon PowerShot A2000 IS

The PowerShot A2000 IS is an uncomplicated, 10-megapixel compact that produces above-average pictures but fails to excite. With countless rivals offering more interesting features, you can't help but feel that this is the Ford Focus of digital cameras

Editor's rating 7.3

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS

With a new 20x optical zoom, image stabilisation, a 10-megapixel sensor and full manual control if you want it, the new Canon PowerShot SX10 IS provides a lot for your money. Its zoom gives you the equivalent of 560mm, which is some pretty serious magnification on a solid, well-made snapper

Canon Digital IXUS 870 IS

The 10-megapixel IXUS 870 IS is the follow-up to the popular 860 IS, and what a worthy successor it is. It's capable of producing truly excellent pictures for a camera of its size and it has excellent components for its price, including a wide-angle lens and optical image stabilisation

Canon EOS 1000D

The Canon EOS 1000D reflects the narrowing gap between compacts and digital SLRs. With its lightweight build and 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, the dSLR is an unintimidating camera. Will its compact-style features pack enough punch to sway buyers from other entry-level shooters?

Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS

You shouldn't be afraid to take the Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS home to your parents. Despite its old-fashioned LCD display size, the specification is certainly up to scratch, boasting 10 megapixels, face detection and image stabilisation. It's an affordable option with luxurious looks

Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS

When it comes to performance, you can't go wrong with a Canon. The Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS follows a long line of accurate and sharp point-and-shoot compacts. Adding a long 5x optical zoom, its speedy results are complemented by detailed, crisp images

Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS

There's something about an IXUS that's hard to resist. As one of the latest incarnations, the Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS is a tempting addition. It's as stylish as the brand requires and feels substantial, thanks to its sturdy build, quirky controls, large screen and respectable image quality

Canon EOS-1D Mark III

The Canon EOS-1D Mark III feels like a machine gun when set to its amazing Continuous Shooting mode. Add to that this camera's amazingly low noise, high-end build quality and vast custom-function menu, and you've got one of the hottest cameras to hit the market this year

Canon EOS 400D

Featuring a higher-resolution chip than the earlier 350D, the EOS 400D otherwise shares much of its functionality. Canon's new model comes with a small, light kit lens and features a large main LCD -- an exceptionally readable, in-your-face medium for monitoring settings

Canon PowerShot G7

Offering a 10-megapixel sensor and a 64mm LCD, the light but sturdy Canon PowerShot G7 is an attractive option for the enthusiast. While the camera is pretty fast, image quality can be mixed -- sometimes giving unpredictable results

Canon PowerShot A640

With lots of manual settings and a reasonably low price tag, Canon's PowerShot A640 looks appealing. Though it lacks the flexibility of higher-end cameras and the stylish portability of more compact shooters, the 10-megapixel A640 is a smart, fully featured camera with some surprising benefits -- like a fold-out LCD

Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti

Stylish without being inconvenient or awkward, the 10-megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti is just the right size to fit into a jacket pocket. It produces very solid photos with nicely saturated colours. But while it's heavy on style, it's pretty light on features that its siblings offer
