The Bottom Line: The A640 is a worthy successor to the A620

Review: Canon's "A" series digicams are well known for their bang for the buck, class leading performance, impressive build-quality, creative flexibility, and amazing ease of use. Last year's A620 sold especially well because Canon listened to what digital ...

The Bottom Line: This is a great camera for the price - great features, quality and usability.

Review: I owned a Canon Powershot A520 for almost two years, and I was getting really sick of it. I mean, it's a great little point-and-shoot camera, but my needs had outgrown the camera. And my particular camera had been used so much over its lifespan that the ...

Pros: Easy to use, extremely high quality pictures, sturdy construction, fair price

Cons: Slightly too bulky for a pocket camera

The Bottom Line: Very sturdy camera. Easy to use right out of the box but advanced features will keep the photography buff enjoying it for years. Picture quality is superb.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: This is my 3rd and best digital camera.  It's flawless!

Cons: Size, price, no image stabilization

The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend it.

Review: I love this camera. After having the same digital camera for 6 years that sported one mega pixel, it was time for an upgrade. I shopped around and settled on this camera. It was actually smaller than my previous camera but has 10 megapixels. This is a ...

Pros: High quality image, low noise, Lot's of Pixels, and an excellent macro capability.

The Bottom Line: The camera is an excellent point and shoot for either a beginning enthusiast or a Prosumer who wants a high quality point and shoot as a backup for casual use.

Cons: Does not have motion stability.

The Bottom Line: I give this a very high recommendation. Great quality photos, very easy to use for all levels of expertise, great battery life(important).

Pros: like a small slr digital

Cons: You have to work this camera, this is more then just a point and shoot

The Bottom Line: Is this is a great learning tool for someone who is serious about photography like a miniature dslr and it can produce almost the same quality shots.

Pros: Battery life, power on speed (first shot readiness), rotating LCD screen

Cons: only comes with 32MB SD card
