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...
Review: I am not a big fan of cameras that use 4 AA batteries, which is one of the reasons I consider cameras like Canon A610/A620 and S2 IS less than ideal. But I like cameras that use two AA batteries. Previously, you could only get up to 4MP resolution...

Easy To Use Canon PowerShot A530

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the PowerShot A530 because the picture quality is professional.
Review: The camera is small enough to fit right in your handbag and flat enough to even slide in your pants pocket. It is a sleek design and light-weight. The 5.0 mega pixels make for a very clear picture. The camera is extremely easy to use. When they say...

Canon Powershot 530 not as easy as it should be to use

Date of Review:  May 11, 2009
Review: I've been using my little camera for 6 months now and continue to have problems with setting it up for shots. I have discovered the settings do not always hold from shot to shot. For instance I'll want to take a shot using the self-timer (which is...

Spend your money on a better camera!

Date of Review:  May 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: Spend alittle more for a better model of this camera. Canon releases at least 3 - 5 newer versions almost every 3 months.
Review: PowerShot A530 offers impressive performance with a 5.0 Megapixel CCD, 4x optical zoom (approx. 16x combined), 17 shooting modes, VGA movies with sound, 9-point AiAF and ISO 800 for improved low-light flexibility.

I have heard such great...

Nice, Easy and Enjoyable to Use Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: Canon PowerShot A530 Digital Camera is inexpensive, easy to use for amateurs but also offers more to those who wish to learn it, and the pictures are really good-looking.
Review: I got Canon PowerShot A530 digital camera as an anniversary present, and I love it.

I love taking photographs (as an amateur), but I’ve never used a digital camera before. Learning to use Canon A530 was no problem at all, I barely had to...

Canon A530

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2006
Review: Purchased in May 2006. Main reason was that I was always somewhat partial to the Canon brand. Not at all disappointed.

Good picture quality in normal light situations. Loads of different settings, tho I just leave it on automatic and still...

Good overall camera

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2006
Review: When I got this camera, I didnt know a thing about digital cameras because I had never owned one. Yet, it was easy to become acquainted with all the features and settings on the camera. Despite its easy to use capability, the camera can still be...

Easy to Use, Great Camera, a little bulky though

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Good functional camera, lags quite a bit and is very bulky, but it takes photos just like it is meant to do.
Review: This was my first digital camera purchase.

I really wanted two things in my digital camera: AA battery operated, and a viewfinder.

This camera had both of those, and it was on sale.

It is incredibly easy to use, I like...
