Canon's "A" series digicams have been very popular with consumers since the introduction of the revolutionary little A20.

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 »

Pros Body-integral anti-shake, superior Pentax optics & build quality
Cons No anti-dust feature for the sensor
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my Pentax K100D when I was ready to move up from my Olympus superzoom "prosumer" point & shoot camera.

I bought it to get into digital SLRs. I already have an outstanding Olympus OM system for film, and a nice little Canon Elph for a pocket size digital. I wanted top-quality optics,... Read full review »

Cons Sometimes images come out underexposed<br>Annoying gel stripe on the left
Recommended it? Yes

I've had this camera for about two years and I am very pleased with it. I only paid around $280 for the whole kit, which was a great value. The choice was between a Canon S3 and the Pentax, and I went for this K100D and still haven't regretted it.

This camera is pretty easy... Read full review »
