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 »

byclskeen Sep 9, 2011
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Shockproof, waterproof, compact, takes good-quality pictures.
Cons Shutter delay (as you would expect).
Recommended it? Yes

We wanted to buy our son a camera for his eleventh birthday, and even though he is pretty responsible, he does have two little sisters, so we knew that we had to buy something that he wouldn't be anxious about sharing. We looked at the "kids" cameras, but they weren't cheap, and the reviews said... Read full review »

Cons Proprietary USB port, limited zoom, no viewfinder

I held the camera a few inches off the water and snapped some shots of my daughter splashing on her float.  "Aren't you worried about dropping that?" said the gentleman next to me."  I smiled and said, "Nope," and went on to extole our new camera

This summer, I replaced my wife's camera.  I... Read full review »
