by  popsrocks,  May 23, 2005
Pros: Nice feel to it, with excellent clarity for its price and it's easy to use.

The Bottom Line: This happens to be a fine camera that isn't overly expensive for a good, solid first camera.
Review: Back in December I was the lucky recipient of my first ever Digital camera. This gift moved me into a whole new world of taking images. The camera I received was the Canon Power Shot A400 Camera. It was very simple to use. My daughter recently picked ...

Epinions Pro Control, Budget Pricing, and 4x Optical Zoom. I'm sold!

by  kedsand1,  Oct 5, 2005
Pros: Great optical zoom; compact; lightweight; manual controls; uses AA batteries; movies WITH audio
Cons: No active power indicator; no internal memory; no zoom in movie mode; meagre accessories included
The Bottom Line: Canon has produced a winner in the budget digital camera market! Buy it now, but be sure to buy AA rechargeables, a bigger SD card, and a camera case.
Review: Two months ago, my wife and I lamented at how our Toshiba PDR-3300 (3.2 megapixels, 2.8x optical zoom) broke down right when our newborn son had come home. As with our first son, we wanted to take a slew of pictures of the cute, little guy, but the ...

Epinions Excellent camera for the price

by  epinoinspbs,  Apr 29, 2006
Pros: Features, style, small size, intuitive function, (I barely opened the manual) price
Cons: floppy rubber cover to access cable ports on the side.
Review: I searched the web for many hours looking for a great, easy to use camera. I found many that were close in features and price. The Canon won me over for style, features, size and price. It's the best camera I've owned to date for the money. Picture ...

Epinions Great camera

by  candidq,  Mar 22, 2007
Pros: Great Camera!
Cons: Long lag time
Review: I bought this camera in Oct. of '05, and it worked wonderfully. It has a longer lag time than some more expensive cameras, but for the money you can't beat it. It was priced close to a Sony I considered, but the zoom was a little better and the sales ...

Pros: Easy to use, great pics, variety of shooting options.
Cons: A little slow "recording" to the SD card.
Review: I love this camera. I received a Canon PowerShot A520 digital camera for Christmas (2005) and use it all the time. The 4-megapixel photos are clear and crisp and the camera is VERY easy to use. It uses a secure digital (SD) card which is becoming less ...

Epinions LOVE IT - DOES ALL I COULD EVER NEED

by  sallen609,  Jan 4, 2006
Pros: Price, easy to use, excellent software, awesome photos, large view screen, size.
Cons: Red eye, slightly slower than expected writing to the data card and down loading.
Review: This camera is a real treasure. I was worried about 4 Mp not being sufficient, 8x10 enlargements are awesome. Battery power is no problem - buy the 2300 mh rechargeable batteries 2 - 3 days of picture taking. Slight red eye problem but is easily removed ...
