I found this on Craigslist. What kind of G10 is this? Looks like a modified G9.

That looks like a photoshopped image with G10 placed over the G9. Not that it's a scam; markings around the lens look odd compared to these views: http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-g10/4505-6501_7-33280758.html?tag=productPages ;cnetReview

It's not a G10. It looks like a G7 (or maybe a G9) with a Richard Franiec grip. The top dials are certainly not from a G10 and the lens ring looks odd also.

Obviously, it is not a G10. It looks like a composite of several components. On that basis the ad is misleading at best and fraudulent at worst. It certainly does not inspire confidence in the advertiser.

the name G10 has simply been retouched

You pay your money and you take your chances. It provides a wonderful opportunity to commit fraud from a safe distance.
An example of thousands of documented problems is found at

At least with this fraud attempt you could clearly see it was a fake.

The guy didn't bother taking a photo of the item for sale, did a google image search, and that one looked good! Still, it doesn't excuse asking that much for a used G10...
