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

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 bought this camera on a cruise when my other camera failed. In general, I've been pleased with it. the resolution and color balance are very satisfactory. The speed with which it writes to the media also exceeds my expectations. The operating controls are flexible, yet simple, and the automatic... Read full review »

Pros Qulality product Feels substantial Looks good Weather-proof
Cons Viewfinder too dark! Deal breaker.
Recommended it? No

I've been using a 3.0 mpxl Olympus Stylus for the last 2 years.. LOVE it!! Weather-proof.. bullet-proof..Idiot-proof. The only problem is my wife and I are constantly fighting over it so last week we agreed we'd buy another. Did my usual anal research and decided we'd try the Olympus Stylus 740....
