Canon PowerShot A510 Digital Camera - Compact and Cheap, But Flexible

bydkozin Aug 3, 2005

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.

After using the 5- Megapixel Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H1 and selling it due to several shortcomings, I was eager to see if the new 6-Megapixel Sony DSC-H2 is much better. The H2 competes with optically-stabilized mega-zoom cameras from Panasonic and Canon (as well as other Sony models) and has the same... Read full review »
