Pros Low price, 4x optical zoom, resolution, features, performance, build quality
Cons Slow flash recharge, during which the screen goes blank, no dedicated zoom control, noise
Recommended it? Yes

I liked the last year's 3.2-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A410 and decided to get an updated version - 4-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A430. I bought my A430 for $144. The prices went down since then and you can get an A430 for less than $135. Can you get good picture quality and features for such a low... Read full review »

Fast, Light, Powerful DSLR

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Light, fast processor, excellent performance, full compatibility.
Cons Too many accessories for my budget
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the T1I as an upgrade from my previous Digital Rebel and EOS 10s. Compatibility with my existing 28-135is and 75-300is lenses was a given, and I added the brilliant Canon 10-22 ultrawide zoom to my kit.
