G10 Fly Agaric
Not the best picture in the world but more of these wonderful toadstools than I've ever seen before. Also very impressed with my Canon G10

The close-up and wide angle viewpoint gives the toadstools lots of impact.
A small polariser is a good investment for that camera IMHO and would have worked very well in this instance.

Justin, I had no idea a polariser was an option for this, no filter thread etc but I'll have a look now, grey grad would be a fine thing as well.

I havn't used the G10 myself as I own the G9. If it's the same design then there's a small lens adapter which can be fited over the built in lens. This has a front 58mm filter thread which can obviously take any appropriately sized filter. I don't know what the G10 version is called (perhaps it's the same one that fits the G9 which is called a Canon Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58H).
I believe this adapter also allows the use of certain wide-angle and telephoto lens attachments, i personally havn't bothered with those, but I tend to use a polariser quite frequently on the G9.
