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 camera buyers wanted and then created a camera that met those expectations. Though it lacks the long zoom of Canon’s superb S3-IS and the fashionable pocketability of Canon’s diminutive SD630, the new Canon Powershot A640 is probably the best overall general use digicam currently available. The A640 retains the best features of the A620 (which it replaces) and adds genuine improvements that will appeal to both novice photographers and more advanced shooters. Even first time digicams users will be able to easily utilize the A640's Auto, Program, and Scene modes. Serious photographers will love the enhanced personal control of the "A" series flagship's aperture priority, shutter priority, and full manual modes.
What's new? How does the A640 differ from the A620?
The A640 is an evolutionary update of the A620 rather than a revolutionary re-design. The most visible difference between the two cameras is the A640's new 2.5 inch Vari-Angle (tilt-swivel) LCD screen - the A620 had a 2.0 inch LCD screen. Under the hood is a new 10 megapixel CCD sensor (the A620 was a 7 megapixel digicam). If all that isn’t enough the A640 now tops out at ISO 800 (the A620 topped out at ISO 400).
NUTS & BOLTS
Viewfinder/LCD
The A640 recycles the A620's coupled (zooms with the lens) tunnel style real image optical viewfinder. The viewfinder is bright enough, but it is a bit on the squinty side and covers only a bit more than eighty per cent of the image frame. There’s no diopter adjustment for eyeglasses wearers.
The A640's re-designed camcorder style Vari-Angle (115,000 pixel) 2.5 inch color TFT LCD screen tilts/swivels 180 degrees horizontally and 270 degrees vertically (the screen nests into the camera's back deck when not in use and opens out like a book when needed). Once the screen is deployed it can be tilted/swiveled through a full 360 degrees (allowing it to be used as waist level finder, a low level macro finder, pointed toward the front of the camera for self portraits, or tilted downward for over the crowd shots), or used in the traditional position. When not in use the LCD screen can be reversed and stored facing inward to avoid scratches, fingerprints and smudges. The A640's LCD screen is slightly grainy, fairly bright, fluid, and hue (color) accurate. The LCD screen automatically boosts gain in dim/low light and provides a very useful playback histogram display that converts the image area into a graphic representation of the composition -- making it easy for users to spot (and re-shoot) under or over exposures. A live (record mode) histogram would have been a nice touch.
Zoom Lens
The A640 features a 7.3mm - 29.2 mm (35-140mm in 35mm equivalent) f/2.8-f4.1 4X optical all-glass (8 elements in 7 groups with two aspherical elements) zoom lens. When the A640 is powered up the zoom extends automatically and when the camera is powered down the zoom is fully retracted into the camera body and a built in iris style lens cover closes to protect it.
The A640's macro performance is quite good with excellent close-up resolution (minimum focusing distance in macro mode is just under half an inch) and fairly even flash coverage - more than adequate for pollen dusted bugs and interior flowers shots. This zoom displays some barely visible corner softness and negligible barrel distortion at the wide-angle end of the range, but pincushion distortion is very well controlled (and essentially invisible) at the telephoto end of the zoom. Chromatic aberration (purple fringing) is noticeably below average. The A640's zoom (the same optic used on the A620) is relatively fast, fairly quiet, and images are consistently sharp with balanced contrast and accurate colors.
The A640's 4X zoom isn't threaded for filters or add on lenses, but users can (after purchasing the optional Canon LA-DC58F Conversion Lens adapter) mount auxiliary wide-angle, telephoto, or macro lenses and inexpensive 58mm filters.
Auto Focus (AF)
The A640 features the same proven and dependable TTL Contrast Detection 9 focus point AiAF (Advanced intelligent Auto Focus) system as the A620. In all automatic exposure modes the camera defaults to the AiAF system which analyzes the scene in front of the camera and then calculates camera to subject distance to determine which of the 9 AF points is closest to the primary subject and then automatically locks focus on that AF point (closest subject priority), even when the subject is not centered in the viewfinder. Users can also turn off the AiAF and default to the center focus point for classic portraits or traditional landscapes. In aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual modes, the A640's nifty Flexizone AF permits users to select a single focusing point and manually shift that AF point around in the frame for maximum creative control. AF performance is fast, accurate, and consistently above average. In low light the A640's focus aid beam helps to illuminate the subject for more accurate focusing.
Manual Focus
the A640 permits users to focus manually. The process is a little tedious (stepped scale focusing), but it does provide users with a bit more personal control when critical focusing is important. In MF mode a distance scale is provided (on the LCD screen) to indicate approximate distances and the center of the LCD is enlarged 2X to ensure accurate focusing.
Flash
The A640's built-in multi mode flash provides users a bit more power than average P&S flash units. Flash options include: Auto (fires when needed), Auto w/ Red-Eye Reduction, Auto w/ Slow Synch, Flash On (fill flash), Flash On w/ Red-Eye Reduction, Flash On w/ Slow Synch, and Flash Off.). Canon claims the maximum flash range is about 14 feet, which seems a fairly accurate assessment (based on my limited use). The A640 also provides limited flash compensation capability via the flash output setting (+/-2 EV in 1/3 EV steps). Overall, the A640's built-in flash does a slightly better than average job, but (due to flash position relative to the lens) redeye is likely to be an ongoing problem. There is no hot shoe for external flash units, but Canon's optional HF-DC1 slave flash unit provides users with an enhanced slate of external lighting options and extends maximum flash range to approximately 30 feet.
Memory Media
The A640 saves images to SD/MMC cards (SD cards are available in a variety of capacities up to a maximum of 4 GB. Canon includes a 32 MB SD starter card in the box.
Connectivity
USB 2.0HS, A/V out, and DC in (with optional Canon AC Adapter Kit ACK900).
Power/Battery Life
The A640 is powered by 4 AA-type batteries (alkaline, NiMH, or lithium). My friend and I used the A640 through two weekends of fairly heavy shooting with two sets (8) of 2300 mAh rechargeable AA batteries (continuous LCD use, occasional flash, and heavy review/delete) so we never ran out of juice. The A640 should average around 300-350 (Canon claims 500) exposures (continuous LCD and occasional flash use) with high capacity rechargeable NiMH AA's and 100-150 exposures (continuous LCD and occasional flash use) with over the counter alkalines, but individual mileage may vary considerably --dependent primarily on shooting style.
EXPOSURE
Auto Exposure (AE)
The A640 has a remarkably simple and simultaneously highly sophisticated auto exposure system that efficiently places image processing, basic camera operation, gain control, power management, and most primary camera operations (Exposure, the AF system, White Balance, JPEG compression, gain control, and most auto functions) under the control of the high-speed DIGIC II (Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) processor. DIGIC II images are optimized for sharp resolution, balanced contrast, lower noise, and bright colors. AE options include Auto (Point and Shoot mode), Program (Auto exposure with user input), Scene modes - Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, and Special Scene (Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Underwater, Indoor, Kids & Pets, Night Snapshot, Color Accent, Color Swap) and Stitch assist mode. Based on my experiences with the camera, the A640’s Auto (Auto, Program, and Scene) modes deliver dependably accurate exposures in virtually any outdoor lighting, but there is a very slight tendency toward over exposure and occasional burnt-out highlights in all auto modes.
Manual Exposure
Unlike much of its competition, the A640 offers users a comprehensive range of manual exposure options including: Shutter Priority mode (users select the shutter speed and the camera selects the appropriate aperture), Aperture Priority mode (users select the aperture and the camera selects the appropriate shutter speed), and Manual mode (users select all exposure parameters).
Movie Mode
Canon PowerShot A640 users can record video clips (with audio) at 640x480 @ 30 fps with duration limited only by SD card capacity (a bit more than 30 minutes with a 4 GB SD card). The A640 can also record up to 60 seconds of fast frame rate QVGA (60 fps) video clips and several lower resolution video options. Focus and the (optical) zoom setting are locked at the first frame. Movies can be edited in-camera (in Playback mode) and then previewed – users can then opt to save the edited video clip, the original video clip, or both. The A640 also provides a voice-notation mode (up to 60 seconds) so users can add audio notes to their still pictures.
Metering
The A640's default evaluative metering system is consistently accurate in all but the most difficult lighting. Neophyte photographers won't have to worry about metering at all (as long as they stay in Auto mode) and more experienced photographers can opt for either Spot metering or Center-Weighted Average metering for more demanding/creative compositions.
When Spot metering is enabled, the metering spot can be set to the center of the frame or linked to the active Flexizone AF point, allowing the photographer to meter on the spot location that coincides with the most important element of the composition and link the camera's AF system to that same spot---a really nifty and very useful creative option.
White Balance (WB)
The A640 provides experienced users with a decent selection of white balance options including TTL Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Underwater, and a custom (manual) mode that allows savvy shooters to use a white card (or white wall or ceiling) to insure accurate color. Like all Canon consumer digicams the A640’s Auto WB setting produces slightly warm colors.
Sensitivity
The Canon PowerShot A640 provides an excellent range of sensitivity settings including Auto, High ISO Auto, and user selectable settings for ISO 80,100, 200, 400, and 800
In-Camera Image Adjustment
Very light or very dark subjects can trick light metering systems into underexposing or overexposing images. The A640's Exposure Compensation function allows users to subtly adjust exposure parameters over a 4 EV range (+/-2 EV in 1/3 EV increments) to compensate for difficult lighting and subject/background reflectance/non-reflectance problems or to compensate for environmental exposure variables (by quickly and easily lightening or darkening images).
The A640's improved "My Colors" mode provides several creative color options: Positive Film (mimics slide film color, saturation, and contrast), Neutral Film (mimics print film color, saturation, and contrast), Lighter Skin Tone, Darker Skin Tone, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, Color accent (shifts images to B&W, except for one user selected color), color swap (allows users to switch one color for another), custom color (users can adjust color balance for red, green, blue, and skin tones /-2 arbitrary steps in 1 step increments), and Photo effects (vivid or neutral color saturation, low sharpening, sepia, and B&W).
CONTROLS, OPERATION, DESIGN, ENGINEERING, & ERGONOMICS
The A640 is a practical looking, well designed, and relatively compact digital camera. The A640's body is constructed of a durable combination of metal and polycarbonate with a comfortable (and slightly oversized) grip on the right hand side of the camera’s front. A series Canon's are justly famous for their levelheaded control layouts and the A640 continues that tradition. All controls are logically placed and all shooting functions are easily accessed. Experienced photographers will have no problem using the camera right out of the box and beginners will be able to shoot very good images after only a quick scan of the user’s manual.

In the Field/Handling & Operation
I have an old friend who sells new and used (digital and film) cameras. He and I both enjoy playing with new digital cameras so as soon as he got his hands on Canon's nifty new 10 megapixel Powershot A640 he swung by to see if I would like to go along on a photographic outing to check it out. I loved the A620 (which the A640 replaces as the flagship of Canon's "A" series) so I was pretty sure I'd like the newest member of the family. The first thing we did was our standard color test. We use a homemade macro stage and a selection of brightly colored (red, green, yellow, blue, and purple) plastic children's beach toys arrayed on a white background. This test allows us to check color accuracy and the precision of the camera’s white balance system (and compare the results from camera to camera). The A640 did an outstanding job - all colors were bright, a bit over-saturated and hue accurate, but slightly warm.
One of the most dependable signs that summer is really over here in Louisville is the annual Adam Mathews Cheesecake Balloon Festival. Louisville businessman Adam Burckle (the founder of Adam Mathews Cheesecake) has sponsored this festival (the largest in Kentucky) for the past several years. The AMCBF draws entries from all over the mid-west and upper south and this year's festival featured almost 100 hot air balloons. For local photographers the Adam Mathews Cheesecake Balloon Festival presents an incredible opportunity to shoot hot air balloons. The kick off event is the Friday evening balloon glow. I met my friend and another photographer friend at Bowman Field Friday evening about an hour before dark to shoot images of the huge crowd and check out the balloons.
There were plenty of photographic opportunities, starting with a decent sunset with dark clouds and pink highlights lining the western horizon. Like most outdoor Louisville events the festival was a sea of noisy children and dogs, lots of "candid/street" type images, and families and couples spread out on quilts and blankets laid on the ground. The weather was absolutely perfect, warm but not humid.
At a balloon glow, the balloons are inflated (using fans) and then just after dark, propane burners begin to heat the air inside the balloons making the huge colorful balloons glow against the dark night sky like giant light bulbs. Multiply that visual by 100 balloons and you'll have a pretty good idea of the photographic opportunities available at a balloon glow. What really sets the Adam Mathews Cheesecake Balloon Festival apart for photographers is that festival spectators are allowed complete access to the balloons. You can get up close, talk to the crews, and shoot pretty much anything you want. This provides the opportunity to shoot some absolutely stunning color images of the balloon crews (in silhouette) surrounded by the colorful balloons. The balloons are huge when you are able to get up close, but most of the burners only flare up for a couple of seconds, so it was very difficult to time exactly when to trip the shutter. The A640 did a good job and the virtual absence of shutter lag was a real help in getting the timing just right.
I managed to get a couple nice shots of brightly lit balloons aglow against the inky black sky. My friend shot some very good images of the crowd before darkness fell and I was quite impressed with the ability to go from shooting people/event images and then capture really super night shots a couple hours later with the same camera. We left early (the end of the balloon glow brings traffic to a complete standstill on Taylorsville Road) before the fireworks display.
The following weekend (the first full weekend in October) is always reserved for the St. James Court Art Fair. The SJCAF is consistently rated one of the best fine arts shows in the U. S. and usually draws around 300,000 spectators, special event fans, and patrons of the arts for the three-day show. My friend and I both enjoy it because it is one of the best "people" shows in the Midwest. The crowd is an eclectic mixture of young and old and hip and square and everything in between. Among the many offerings (paintings, drawings, prints, hand blown glass, wood carvings, textiles, furniture, and hundreds of other art forms) are the works of several fine art photographers - so it is always possible that we'll discover an unknown shooter with the talent of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Jock Sturges, Eve Arnold, Duane Michals, or Eliot Porter.
The truly horrible thing about the St. James Court Art Fair is that there is absolutely no place to park. We usually park just off Burnett Street and walk the half a mile back to St. James Court. I grew up in old Louisville so I always enjoy visiting the old neighborhood. After a quick stop at Juanita’s Burger Boy so my friend could grab a cholesterol fix, we stopped to shoot some environmental portraits and "street" style images at the Un-Fair, a protest counter art show staged each year by young local artists who feel they've been frozen out of the upscale St. James Court Art Fair. The Un-Fair is held at the Old Louisville landmark Magnolia Bar & Grill, a popular neighborhood watering hole usually filled with young artists and musicians. We spent about half an hour shooting the local hipsters and checking out the unconventional artwork.
St. James Court is an opulent collection of Victorian Mansions built in the late 1890s on the site of the 1883-1887 Southern Exposition. St. James Court was built on the site of the 1883-1887 Southern Exposition. The Southern Exposition was the first major U. S. industrial exhibition to be completely lit by electricity. President Chester A. Arthur and Thomas Edison threw the switch that lit up the grounds and opened the exhibition (staged to honor the post civil war rebirth of Southern industry). On an interesting historical note, as the World’s very first electric trolley hauled tourists around the brightly lit Southern Exposition grounds - Geronimo and a small band of Apache warriors left their reservation 1500 miles to the west to hit the war path for the last time - with the U. S. Cavalry in hot pursuit.
The St. James Court neighborhood was designed to look like Victorian London and is one of Louisville’s most recognizable architectural landmarks. The tree-shaded courts are lined with dozens of magnificent old homes that rival New Orleans Garden District. St. James Court was alive with art sellers, art buyers, and thousands of folks just out enjoying the beautiful day. We spent several hours just making booth loops and shooting the most interesting of the local characters in attendance, some art work, several buskers, architectural details of some of the lovely old houses, and close-up shots of the colorful fall floral displays. The golden afternoon light worked really well and the A640 did an absolutely great job on everything we tried. When the light started to fail in the early evening we headed home.
Sunday morning was warm with blue skies and wispy white clouds. We headed for Cave Hill Cemetery to look for some early signs of the changing season. It is still a bit early for fall color here in the Ohio Valley, but Cave Hill is Louisville’s unofficial arboretum and the old cemetery is filled with rare plants, trees, and bushes (in addition to thousands of 19th century grave markers, hundreds of mausoleums, and a rustic old groundskeepers cottage) so the first signs of autumn tend to appear at Cave Hill a few weeks before they are visible everywhere. We did find a few interesting single trees (Dogwoods, Sourwoods, Black Gum, and a couple of exotics) that were starting to show some color, but overall the trip was a waste. After we finished looking for autumnal landscapes we shot some pictures of the ever-present families feeding the ducks, geese, and swans at the small lake at the center of the old burial ground.
After we finished up at Cave Hill we took a break at the Twig & Leaf Restaurant in Louisville's Belknap neighborhood. Belknap is one of Louisville's more interesting neighborhoods - sort of like a small country town at the edge of the larger Highlands and Deer Park neighborhoods. The neighborhood is clustered around the Douglas Loop, which was a stage stop on the old Louisville to Nashville road during the mid nineteenth-century. TARC (the Transit Authority of the River City) buses now stop where stagecoaches once picked up passengers. The Twig & Leaf is a fifties style diner (booths along the walls and rotating stools lining the counter) and when you step through the door of this old joint it’s like you’ve stepped into some sort of a time warp. The menu is heavy on grilled and fried comfort foods and the ambience is straight up blue-collar cool. We grabbed a booth in back and ordered a coffee and a coke. We took turns sneaking shots of our fellow diners (by placing the camera at the edge of our table on a folded newspaper and using the LCD screen to frame our shots).
PERFORMANCE
The A640 is an excellent general-use digital camera that offers users just about all the manual exposure options a serious photographer might want. The A640 will also work great for neophyte photographers who want put the camera in auto mode and shoot high quality digital images without the need to learn basic photography skills.
Image Quality
After we finished up at the Twig & Leaf we reviewed everything we’d shot over the course of our two weekend test (on a 19" NEC CRT monitor). We really put the A640 through its paces (from full Auto to full Manual) and it delivered, no matter what we asked it to do. We both felt the outdoor images were consistently well exposed, the color was excellent, and the overall image quality was as good or better than any comparable P&S digicam either of us have used to date.
The A640 consistently produces well-exposed images with very good dynamic range. Color accuracy and white balance are excellent under most lighting conditions. Images are sharp and the AiAF auto focus is accurate even when shooting close-ups. Our fall flower shots looked natural with well-saturated colors and balanced gradations between shades.
Images shot at ISO 80 looked best, with extremely low noise levels – ISO 100 images are also very good. At the ISO 200 setting noise levels begin to rise a bit, but the images are still very good to excellent. The A640's ISO 400 images are noticeably noisy, but still usable (up to 5x7 inches). ISO 800 images were better than expected, but my expectations weren't too high. Images shot at the A640's highest sensitivity setting are way too noisy, so noisy in fact that they look a little soft.
Color is excellent - reds are a bit warm and blues are a little bright, but most casual/amateur photographers probably won't consider this a fault. All images (except those shot at the two highest sensitivity settings) showed balanced contrast, excellent shadow/highlight detail, and sharp resolution. We did notice some minor chromatic aberration (in high contrast color transition areas, especially at maximum aperture) in a couple of shots, but overall the A640's images (while a bit noisier than the A620’s) looked consistently great.
Overall, the A640 creates better images than any camera in its class. Skin tones looked natural (based on our environmental portraits from St. James Court) with none of the ruddiness usually associated with P&S digicam image interpolation. There was some noticeable chromatic aberration in the transition areas between brightly colored areas and dark backgrounds in a couple of our shots, but most of our images showed very little or no need for post exposure correction.
Shutter Lag/Timing
The A620 was a very fast digital camera, equal to or faster than any camera in its class and faster than some more expensive cameras – the A640 actually seems a bit faster, but that’s a subjective observation that might not be borne out in the lab. Start up time is less than two seconds, which is pretty quick for a digicam that has to extend a 4X zoom. Shutter lag shouldn’t be a problem for most shooters (less than ½ a second) and shutter fire is essentially real time once focus is achieved. AF speed is also quite impressive, typically less than ½ a second and almost "real time" with pre-focus. Shot-to-shot times (about 1.5 seconds) are noticeably quicker than average.
A Few Concerns
The A640 (like its predecessor) isn't a perfect digicam but it is about as close as it gets at this moment in time. ISO 800 images are way too noisy, but that isn’t really surprising since crowding more than 10 million pixels onto a 1/1.8" CCD sensor is bound to increase image noise. Redeye may cause some heartburn for dedicated portrait shooters, but the A640 isn't any worse in this regard than its competition. There is some visible chromatic aberration in high contrast color transition areas, but those faults are pretty much par for the course (to a lesser or greater degree) with all P&S digicams. I do wonder why the A640 doesn’t have image stabilization, which has become almost ubiquitous on upscale P&S digital cameras these days.
Who is the A620 best suited for?
The A640 (like its predecessor is a super choice as the primary family camera. It is an excellent choice for travelers who want a tough lightweight "go anywhere" digital camera that will allow them to record their adventures. The A640 is perhaps best suited to beginning photographers who want a digital camera that they can "grow into" as their photographic capabilities evolve.
Conclusion
Canon’s "A" series digital cameras have consistently provided consumers with impressive ease of use, best-in-class performance, super bang for the buck, and excellent image quality, The A640 continues that winning tradition by creatively mixing innovative engineering with proven components. A640 purchasers get "G" series features and performance without giving up "A" series practicality and value. At this point in time, the nifty little A640 is just about as good as it gets, an almost ideal general use digital camera that will appeal to everyone from beginners and casual shooters to advanced amateurs.
A Final Note
The Holiday Season is just around the corner and high dollar electronics products are often discounted heavily during this time of the year. Expect the A640 to drop to around $350.00 by Thanksgiving and maybe even a bit further (depending on the economy) as Christmas approaches. Don't need 10 megapixels? Check out the A640’s 8 megapixel little brother (the A630) and save a hundred bucks (or look for an even better deal on the discontinued, but still available 7 megapixel A620).
