The new Canon Powershot A700 digital camera

byHoward_Creech Mar 31, 2006
132 Helpfuls 133 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Large 2.5" LCD screen, 6X optical zoom, full manual controls, and AA batteries
Cons Weak flash, Some corner softness, and minor chromatic aberration (purple fringing)
Recommended it? Yes

There are some very good reasons why Canon's A series digital cameras have been number one in U. S. sales for three years running. A series digicams provide consistently first-rate performance, superb ergonomics, incredible ease of use, and tough as nails durability - at amazingly reasonable... Read full review »

Good but not Great

bypvreditor Sep 30, 2006
39 Helpfuls 40 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice controls; great size; excellent focus; beautiful LCD screen; long battery life
Cons More digital noise than I expected.
Recommended it? Yes

I take pictures for both personal and professional use, and struggle with the need for portability versus taking the best possible pictures. The photos that I take professionally are published in magazines and are usually snapshots of people interacting with each other and touching various pieces... 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 »
