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 »

Introduction

With prices starting to come down a little on the Sony A350, I decided to purchase a back-up body, this time with Sony's standard zoom kit lens. Most of this review is identical to my review of the Sony A350 body only, which is currently lost in the servers of the Epinions... Read full review »

I love the flip out screen!

byreachinmydream Apr 22, 2009

Pros flip out view finder
Cons soft jpg in low light
Recommended it? Yes

The flip out live view finder on this versatile camera allows me to get the crazy angles that are my signature style. This is my favorite part of the camera, and is why I chose it over a comparable different brand.

The flexible ISO settings allow for great low-light shots! The ISO button is... Read full review »
