Canon's "A" series digicams have been very popular with consumers since the introduction of the revolutionary little A20.

Canon PowerShot A510 Digital Camera - Compact and Cheap, But Flexible

bydkozin Aug 3, 2005
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent optics for low price and compact size, uses 2 AA batteries, features, 4x zoom
Cons Flash creates shadow in corner in Macro mode and overexposes unless you use ISO50/f8
Recommended it? Yes

A replacement for the last year's Canon A75, the 3.2-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A510 is currently available at rather low prices. I got mine for $161 after coupons including taxes and shipping at Dell. I also got the 4-Megapixel A520 to see the difference for only $20 more. Your mileage may vary... Read full review »

The Canon PowerShot SD800 IS/IXUS 850 Digital Camera

byHoward_Creech Jan 21, 2007
99 Helpfuls 100 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ultra-compact, 7 megapixels, fast, stylish, user friendly, 2.5" LCD screen, and...
Cons Expensive, auto exposure only, red-eye, and very noisy ISO 1600 images
Recommended it? Yes

Way back in the dark ages, when photography was all about silver based film and chemical processing, camera choices were much simpler. Photographers who wanted an ultra-compact camera bought a Riga Minox or a Rollei 35S or they joined the CIA. The digital imaging revolution changed all that. Canon... Read full review »

Pros Size, DIG!C III processor, daylight picture quality, battery life, simplicity, stitching...
Cons Night time / indoors performance (noise & focus time), no advanced controls, limited DOF
Recommended it? Yes

With the current popularity of SLR cameras, why even bother to consider a point-n-shoot camera like the ultra compact Powershot SD800 IS? Well, I have not used a point-n-shoot camera (on a regular basis) for years and always considered my SLR superior simply because of the limitations of the tiny... Read full review »
