The G10 has a 28 to 140 mm equiv zoom, 12.4 MP, Li-ion Battery.

The both take SD/MMC, have external flash shoe, optical image
stabalization.

The G10 has areal image optical zoom viewfinder as well as a 3" LCD. It
weighs 12.3 oz.

The SX10 has a EVF as well as a 2.5" LCD. It weighs 19.8 oz.

According to DPReview's comment on this news item, the SX10's
superior sibling, the SX1 (CMOS sensor, 4fps full resolution
continuous shooting and true 1080p HDTV movies at 30fps) won't be
available in North America. I wonder how well it handles the
"rolling shutter" problem.

Most importantly the S10 has a decent resolution EVF. At last!!!!!
Ideally I'd like something a little smaller in physical size, but that
camera is, at the moment, on my buy list. At long last it's the
replacement for my S1 that I always wanted.

If the senor in the SX10 IS is the same size as the one in the S5 IS then
I wonder just what the difference in image quality would be. If the noise
is less due to heavier processing I wonder if the photo is any getter.

Just because it has more features that does not mean it is superior. The
viewfinder on the SX10 is better and that is a biggie in getting the right
sort of photo.

OLd timer electronics folks will know what a 'getter' is.

Your S1 is still working? Mine developed the dreaded zotzed display, and
Canon fixed it by sending me a refurbished S3.

But I agree - this looks like a great replacement/upgrade. I'll be looking
for reviews and samples from both ends of the range of that lens. Wow.

Yes, probably because I stopped using it regularly two years ago. :-)

The LCD Monitor is bigger, 2.5inches (was 2 inches). I haven't seen any
information about the Electronic TFT Viewfinder being bigger.
