Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon D10 compared to boutique competitors include: it is significantly smaller (mid size 104x67x49 mm vs standard size 117x81x65 mm), has better image stabilization (lens vs none), has much less shutter lag (330 ms vs 403 ms), significantly closer macro focusing (3 cm vs 20 cm) and is thinner (1.9" vs 2.6").
However, on average it has a slightly narrower aperture (f/2.8 vs f/2.0), records lower quality movies (480p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), has a slightly narrower wide angle lens (35 mm vs 28 mm), has a significantly smaller screen (2.5" vs 3.0") and has a significantly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 920k dots).
