Canon's "A" series digicams have been very popular with consumers since the introduction of the revolutionary little A20. When it came time to update the groundbreaking A75, Canon's R&D folks stuffed everything that made the A75 a best in class digicam (excellent image quality, Point & Shoot... Read full review »

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 »

byking_sal May 29, 2006
34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good quality pictures, Long battery life, Low price
Cons Uses expensive Memory Stick media
Recommended it? Yes

It's not everyday that I'm impressed with a particular digital camera. In fact, I come across several digital cameras monthly due to the nature of my hobby. Last month, I worked with the DSC-W50 to photograph some cars for a local automobile dealer. Having already worked with the DSC-W30, I wasn't... Read full review »

Impressive camera, improves on a great line...

bysilflayhraka Apr 27, 2006
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Better than it's more expensive predecessors. Fixes key faults.
Cons Television real-estate hucksters. Camera? No cons, really. Good value for price.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a DSC-T1 owner for about 2.5 years now I guess, and I've had a chance to run the DSC-W50 through its paces and see how they stack up. The DSC-T1 broke new ground with its deck-of-cards form factor, and, I must say, despite my aging Nikon Coolpix 995's vastly superior indoor flash... Read full review »
