 My 5th Canon - 4th Powershot - and the BEST! June 1, 2007
D. Reinstein (Fairfax, CA USA)

Does one feature warrant an upgrade. In this instance, yes! I went from the A540, which I liked a lot, to this model to get the IS feature. It is FANTASTIC! It actually negates the need for flash much of the time and makes moving objects clear and sharp. A wonderful advacne for just a few dollars more. The additional megappixels don't matter too much unless you are taking really BIG photos. I use a 4GB SCHC card and get over 4,000 shots on the next to highest (M1) setting! How can you go wrong?
Lots of quality features June 8, 2007

These PowerShot "A" cameras are Canon's attempt to deliver the quality and features of its more expensive PowerShot "G" and PowerShot Pro "S" lines (such as full zoom lenses) at a budget price. The results, though, are a mixed bag. The entry-level A460 is lousy, but the rest of the line gives you a lot for the money. (How do I know all this? Because I've actually gotten to use all of these cameras. I earn my living shooting photos at Walt Disney World for a travel guidebook, and nearly every day guests ask me to take photos of them with their own cameras, which most often are Canon PowerShots.)
Here's my opinion of the "A" series line:
Canon PowerShot A460 5.0MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom (Silver)
Yuck! This 5MP camera is like a relic from five years ago: the simple but poorly designed controls -- a little joy pad surrounded by four buttons -- make it far too easy to do things like change the zoom setting when you set the flash. I have fat fingers and I mess things up almost every time! Also, I've seen photos taken with this camera, and they often have that purple fringe around their highlights, which are typically blown out. On the plus side, the camera does have an optical viewfinder.
Canon PowerShot A540 6MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
RECOMMENDED. Looking for a good bargain camera? Take a look at this one. It's a 2006 model, but it works just fine. You get 20 shooting modes, a full set of manual controls and can record low-res sound video at 60 frames per second. Before you buy it, however, check Amazon's price of the better, and newer, A560. It may be cheaper.
Canon PowerShot A550 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
This basic camera isn't that bad, but there's no reason to buy it. For about $25 more you can step up to the PowerShot A560 (see below), which has the same body, sensor and lens but Canon's much better Digic III processor. Buy this one and, yes, you'll save a few bucks, but your photos won't look as good.
Canon PowerShot A560 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
RECOMMENDED. Here is a nice camera! Featuring Canon's acclaimed Digic III processor, it includes the company's face-detection metering system and a decent red-eye removal.
Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
RECOMMENDED. Same as the A560 but with optical image stabilization and the ability to shoot manually.
Canon PowerShot A630 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
RECOMMENDED. You can do a lot with this sweet little camera. It has a flip-out LCD panel and lots of manual controls. The shots I've seen from this model look great. Keep your ISO under 800 and you won't get any noise.
Canon PowerShot A640 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Same as the A630 except 10MP.
Canon PowerShot A710 IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom
RECOMMENDED. This fully-loaded model has all the toys, including a full-range zoom (35mm film equivalent of 35-210mm), adjustable flash power and optional second-curtain flash. This last features means you can make the flash fire at the end of a long exposure, instead of the beginning, so moving subjects streak into focus instead of out. Much more for your money than the A640.

I Used to have the sd600 this blows it away.
Great for taking pics from a moving car.
The IS is worth every penny for the zoom shots!
fast action too

After an exhaustive Internet and camera store search I finally decided to buy this Canon camera. The only superior cameras I could find were all relatively large and heavy SLR's. This PoserShot model has most of the features and perfornance of any of the best digital cameras, including an unexcelled image processor, an optional optical viewfinder, face detection, 4X optical zoom, and image stabilization.
I have used the camera for about a month and taken hundreds of photos, mostly in the "auto" mode, although there is almost no limit to the available settings. Unfortunately, many of these settings need a navigation of the menu system, which must be studied in advance of any serious shooting. I have found that the "auto" mode is uncannily capable of producing images that require a minimum, if any, Photoshop editing. This is no doubt due to the latest Canon image processor which, among other capabilities, usually produces an "auto levels" image with great automatic white balance, and excellent colors. Perhaps the most stringest test I gave the camera was to take several hand held photos using 4X optical plus 4X digital zoom of the home plate action at a major league baseball game from a seat at the top level of the stands. These 16X images were quite usable, even showing the baseball leaving the bat.
While there are a number of competitive cameras in this size range, and even smaller, very few have an optional optical viewfinder that is essential under sunlit conditions. I also own such a camera, but was totally frustrated in my attempts to use it under these conditions, as it has no optional optical viewfinder.
You will not be disappointed if you buy this camera, and I don't have any connection with Canon!
 SLOW......... BUY TWO !!! December 13, 2007

I should have listened to the other reviews. They more or less said that the picture quality was really good but the camera was really slow. I thought, great good pictures I can't go wrong with that. The camera has some nice features I can get some good pics and grow and learn with this one. The face recognition only works about 1 out of 5 times. I think it just takes a good guess and most times it's wrong.
Amazon was great I ordered it at regular shipping. They decided to send it extra fast free shipping.
Cool 2 days later new camera in hand I take that really cute picture of my grandson. Snap..........1..........2..........3.........4.........5.........6.........7.........8.........9........10........... Ok missed that 1st picture Ill try again. Snap..........1..........2..........3..........4..........5..........6..........7..........8.........9.........10........ OK this time the kid moved , but I got a really good picture of the bookcase where we keep the DVD movies in. The picture came out really great, if the house burns down I can use this for documentation for the insurance company, You can read the title on all 174 movies that we have. I didn't get the grandson , he moved to fast.
Ok I made a mistake I wanted camera that I could grow and learn with and I wanted to take a picture of my grandson.
I think I'll send this camera back and go with something that consumer reports says has a faster next shot time. They recommend 3 other camera manufactures that have a next shot time of 4 seconds, an hp, sony, or kodak.
The problem is to send back the camera I'll have to pay for shipping both ways , the restocking fee, and I will only get a perecetage back for the camera because I opened the package therefore it is now a used camera. Yeah they got a return policy, just make sure you read the fine print.
So I'll keep the camera for those outside shots and non moving objects
I am off shopping for a new camera for the inside shots of my grandson. you know the family dinners, the birthday parties, the weddings, just hanging out on grandpa's lap , 85% of my picture taking is inside and trying to catch those fleeting moments. Snap.......... 1.......... 2........... 3........... 4.......... 5.......... 6.......... 7.......... 8.......... 9.......... 10.......... 11.......... 12.......... 13.......... 14.......... As the batteries wear down the time between pictures gets longer and longer.Yep guess I'm going to need a new camera.
This time I will go to the store try it out and buy local.
