Canon BF10 Best Friend or Big Finder?

Lets be honest the only appealing thing about this camera is the fact that it has a 26mm lens which sets it apart from almost all the other point and shoot cameras in the world (including ones in the landfill).

One of the side effects of Canon’s attempt to produce this wideangle wonder was that the corners of the image are so soft that you could stuff a pillow with them.

But is it bad enough to make it good? Not really, 26mm doesnt provide a distinct advantage over the more available 28mm camera’s that I’ve seen and the results are questionable but not bad enough to make it obvious that you ment to do it. The flash doesn’t cover the frame very well and without it it heavily under exposes in darker situations. The focus is fixed as is the aperture at f6. The viewfinder is nice and big though I will give it that.
