Canon has added another fabulous camera to its EOS range: the 450D! This digital camera, recently commended at the TIPA awards for its high performances, user-friendliness and ease of use, is packed full of technologies and special features. Its magnificent 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor takes lifelike shots at rates of 3.5 frames per second, and its large focusing range picks out details from a distance. The EOS 450D includes a self-cleaning system, which uses three different techniques to dislodge dust from the sensor, and it has a DIGIC III processor to guarantee well-balanced, vivid colours in all your shots. The EOS 450D is easy to handle and use thanks to its 3? LCD screen, which is great for direct shooting, and it comes complete with an 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. Less

bypopsrocks Jan 5, 2007
70 Helpfuls 71 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Much like the A520 that has been good to us the last couple of years.
Cons A bit larger body camera and small LED than other comparably priced cameras.
Recommended it? Yes

My wife and I purchased a Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera for her the spring before last. She was quite happy with the camera but she needed another because she wants to use the Power Shot A520 exclusively with the camera club she runs at school. The new one will be her family camera that we... Read full review »

Canon PowerShot A530 5-Megapixel Digital Camera - Compact and Inexpensive

bydkozin Mar 27, 2006
47 Helpfuls 48 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Uses 2 AA batteries, compact, 5MP, inexpensive, features, manual controls, image quality
Cons Slow flash recycle time
Recommended it? Yes

I am not a big fan of cameras that use 4 AA batteries, which is one of the reasons I consider cameras like Canon A610/A620 and S2 IS less than ideal. But I like cameras that use two AA batteries. Previously, you could only get up to 4MP resolution in this format from Canon (Canon PowerShot A520)... Read full review »

Pros Great image quality, takes SD cards, lots of convenient features, reasonable price
Cons There’s a bit of a learning curve
Recommended it? Yes

I’ve always loved computers and taking pictures, making my love for digital photography a natural progression. My first digital camera was a 2 megapixel, alkaline battery-operated Kodak with no zoom. Luckily, technologies have advanced, and I’ve had a lot of point-and-shoot cameras that have... Read full review »

I had a 35mm Canon Rebel X camera before I bought this camera about 2 years ago.  Canon has a long history of making quality products.  This is one of them.  This is a great camera.  This camera made it easy transition to digital. The body of the camera is not too heavy. ... Read full review »
