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 »

Now that I have had the camera for a couple of weeks, I have learned that this camera really packs quite a... Read full review »

For several years I've looked at digital cameras while the image quality has improved and costs have dropped. Since it is an electronic product though, I was also concerned about durability. When I found this camera as a special buy on the Wal-Mart web site at a price under $150 (which meant a 3... Read full review »
