Canon PowerShot A430 Digital Camera - Inexpensive and Excellent

bydkozin Apr 17, 2006
54 Helpfuls 55 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

Pros Simple, takes good pictures, 4X optical zoom, well made, uses AA batteries
Cons Slow flash, 16 MB memory card is way too small.
Recommended it? Yes

The Canon PowerShot A430 is a simple, rugged and flexible point and shoot camera, that is well suited to kids, first-time digital camera buyers, and as a second camera. While it only has a maximum resolution of 4 megapixels (2272 x 1704), It has extra features that give the camera a little WOW... Read full review »

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

byaloofyouth Dec 19, 2011
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best bang for the buck DSLR camera in its price/size bracket
Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
Recommended it? Yes

My user experiences are marked in italics.

The Nikon D5100 is a DSLR camera ("digital single lens reflex" so what you see through the optical viewfinder or on the LCD screen is what you get in the photo; you are literally seeing through the lens, so there is no parallax error). I bought it... Read full review »
