Canon PowerShot A530 as Compared to the A520; Same box, Same body, A Few Differences

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.

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

Pros Easy to Use, Compact, Great Design
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

The latest as of now in the Inter Changeable lense cameras....the GF2 strikes out as one of the most compact of them all. Amongst other things the GF2 has touchscreen controls, 1920x1080 HD movie mode etc.

So how did my images turn out? Pretty good! For everyone who's naturally afraid... Read full review »
