Canon PowerShot A530 5-Megapixel Digital Camera - Compact and Inexpensive

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Canon PowerShot A530 if you need a compact and inexpensive yet capable camera that produces excellent photos with print sizes of...

Hit me with your best (Power)Shot

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: There's a good reason why Canon's PowerShot product lineup is so popular - great combination of price, quality, and features

Date of Review:  May 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: Takes great pictures, easy to use and great customer service.
Review: I have had this camera for over a year now and besides burning through AAs batteries like mad, even the NiMH ones, this camera is great. The recycle time between shots could be shorter, but that's no biggie. I have taken this camera everywhere and...
