I posted this on a Canon forum with no responses. Perhaps someone here can help me.
Just got the g10. How can I set it for dual capture (raw + B&W jpeg)? I had no problem doing this with the g9. I am choosing B&W in 'my colors' and also choosing raw +jpeg, but I always get a color jpeg. I can only see B&W on the LCD when raw is turned off. Thanks for any help.

I just bought a G10 too, and ran into the same problem. If you look on page 146 of your manual, you will see this charming little message:
When the recording pixels is set to RAW. the MY COLORS cannot be set. B&W (and Sepia) are both in the My Colors set. This means that you either rely on post-processing to do the conversions, or you set up, say, C1, in custom mode and shoot B&W in JPEG mode. To my knowledge, neither LR nor Capture One support the G10 yet, although this is just a matter of time. Personally, I'm no fan of DPP, but it will have to do for now.
When I saw the 40D-like menu settings on the G10, I assumed that Canon would use the Picture Styles approach in the G10. That means you can easily set up monochrome with various filters (red, green, yellow etc). If you're shooting B&W, you want to see how colours are rendering in monochrome right in the camera, not have to imagine how they're going to look.
Well, I was wrong, and I don't understand Canon's decision to do this. If they're marketing to serious photographers, not having B&W supported nativley in RAW doesn't make any sense to me.
