Who would have thought of a 6 megapixel entry level camera a few years ago. Pentax now introduces the Optio60 as an excellent choice for digital newcomers. An easy-to-understand “Simple mode” deserves the credit for lowering the learning curve of the Optio60. The Optio60 features a 2.0 inch LCD plus a viewfinder with automatic diopter adjustment to enhance viewing for users who may lack perfect eyesight. Less

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 »

I got this camera as a present for the end of year holidays (sanitized to be PC) from the wife as she's fed up with our Sony 5 Megapixel camera that has so much boot up time and shutter lag it nearly missed the holidays entirely (press, yawn, ponder, flash, darn missed again).

Poor Choice

Pros High Megapixles, light.
Cons Poor battery life, blurry, slow shutter.
Recommended it? No

Two years ago I decided to buy a digital camera to stay up-to-date on technology. I did a bit of research via Consumer Reports looking for recommendations and features to look for in a camera. At the time, they were very happy with many different Pentax digital cameras.

Not wanting to pay... Read full review »
