User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star too bad it broke..
The camera was great except that you can’t set it down, it falls over because of the rounded edges, if you set it down, the camera falls over on to its screen or the lense. The lense does not come with a cap, and is just naked in the air all the time. It did take pretty good pictures until it broke, I bought it in February and it is now May, and I am sending it in.
1 Star THINK TWICE ABOUT THIS PURCHASE
My husband and I purchased this camera in December 2009. We are active kayakers, hikers and adventurers, so we wanted a camera that could handle a variety of conditions in and out of the water. We were very pleased with the camera, initially. However, we were sorely disappointed when it showed a “Lens error. Restart camera” error at the beginning of our most recent kayak trip ONLY FIVE MONTHS after purchase!! This error immediately prevented us from taking pictures in any kind of dependable way. It essentially shut down the camera. I just called Canon customer service to discuss the issue, but they can only repair the camera. They refuse to replace it. I sincerely feel that this is a defective product, especially having seen this issue arise in other reviews. My husband and I really thought we had found a great camera for our active lifestyle, but it sure let us down after only a couple of trips. This is, after all, supposed to be Canon’s most rugged and durable camera (and, ironically, the customer support team told me we had done something to cause the lens to move out of place!). What is most disappointing is that we have an older Canon Powershot that has done the same thing. Clearly, Canon has a quality control issue with its lens setup. We are going to think twice about purchasing another Canon in the future.
5 Stars Best camera ever
I bought this camera almost a year ago, and I LOVE it! It has been underwater in Key West, with manatees in Crystal River, FL, in waves in the Gulf of Mexico, and in hot tubs, pools, waterfalls, showers, bath tubs, and in the rain! It also goes everywhere to take pictures when I am NOT under water. 
It is easy to use, has very good battery life, and is shock resistant so I do not worry about it. My 6 year old niece loves using it too, and takes great pictures with it. Software is super easy to load, and you just plug USB cord from camera to computer to upload pictures from camera to computer. Features are great. Love black and white, sepia, and color accent features. Sunset, kid/pets, and night scene are modes I use a lot.
With all my cameras in the past, I had to worry about not taking my camera in kayaks, canoes, or to the beach, or had to risk ruining the camera if I did take it. Now this camera goes everywhere. It has a cool “submarine” look. My brother bought one after I loved mine so much. We bought an accessory kit (which I would definitely recommend even though it is expensive) and put the camo color panel on his to replace the bright blue. The accessory kit also has optional carry straps which I have found to be useful, and a cool neoprene case.
Everybody asks me about this camera–where can they get one, and so on. I would highly recommend it. A few “cons” or suggestions: 1) I am very careful with the seals, and never open the battery compartment or USB door if camera is damp, or if I am outside near dirt or sand. 2) This camera is not as tiny as some, which was a drawback for me. However, it gets far better reviews as far as picture quality than any of the other waterproof cameras I have seen or heard about, and I have not been at all disappointed with my choice! It fits easily into a purse or backpack of course, you don’t even feel it. It just isn’t tiny enough to fit comfortably into a pocket. 3) It only has a 3.0 x optical zoom. This was a drawback for me. However, the photo quality is amazing to me even with digital zoom to 12.0 x. (Probably would not be if blowing up big enlargements.) 4) Flash is too bright to me when close up. Really wish it had a soft flash, or half flash. However, camera takes photos without flash in all but the lowest light. 5) Battery life is great. However, it doesn’t give you much notice about battery being low before it goes completely dead. I also bought an extra battery–got one for great price on Amazon–and this makes a huge difference…I always have one battery charged.
Buy the camera, and have fun!
5 Stars Thrilled
This is the second D10 I’ve owned in two weeks. The first one was stolen from me. During the short time I’ve owned a D10, I’ve taken them sailing and snorkeling. During sailing I dunked camera underwater and videod as we sailed along(see youtube, hobie 16 underwater). I’m astounded with the underwater results I have gotten with this camera, and have had no negative issues with it whatsoever. The stills and the video I’ve taken have impressed me from the standpoint that they were taken in somewhat murky water and limited light conditions, and the vivid results were very impressive. The only complaint I have is this: if you need the flash to take extreme macro shots, there will be a shadow due to the configuration of the lens relative to the flash. It is rarely an issue.

This is the best camera I ever owned. I live in The Bahamas and use this camera all the time. In the boat on fishing trips and it takes great pictures. Easy to use and durable.
