The new Canon Powershot A540 Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: The new Canon Powershot A540 Digital Camera provides an almost perfect balance of prosumer-like performance and creative versatility in a reasonably priced package.
Review: Canon's A series digital cameras have been number one in U. S. sales for the last three years because they dependably provide consumers with impressive ease of use, exceptional performance, superb ergonomics, tough as nails durability, excellent...

Canon Power Shot A 540 Digital Camera~What A Great Little Camera!

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is an easy to use camera, producing excellent quality pictures. Many options, viewfinder, large LCD screen
Review: My daughters decided to get me a new camera for my birthday when they noticed I was taping the bottom of my old Nikon Coolpix 885 to keep the battery from falling out. The camera still worked pretty well other than that but it was 4 years old and...

An Amateur Photographer's Take on the Canon A540

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: I couldn't be happier with my Canon A540!
Review: Purchasing a new digital camera can be intimidating. Because I had a generally positive four years with a Canon A80, I decided to stick with the brand. The gentleman at Best Buy was a major proponent of the Canon PowerShot A540 so I went with it...

Canon PowerShot A540 6-Megapixel Digital Camera - Compact and Feature-Rich, But Slow Flash

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you need a compact and inexpensive yet capable camera that produces excellent photos with print sizes of up 13x19 inches, has 4x optical zoom and uses two AA batteries...
Review: Do you like cameras that use two AA batteries? Prefer 6 Megapixels and 2.5-inch LCD screen? Want a camera that is fast in operation and is easy to use? Check out the Canon PowerShot A540.

A540 Disappoints: Grainy Photos At Lower Light Levels; Poor For Indoor Photos; Lousy LCD

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: A good camera only for outdoor and flash photography. I would not recommend it to anyone who does natural-light photography, nor who wants a crisp LCD. It's overpriced.
Review: The Canon Powershot A540 a "great camera"? Not so fast.

Oh, how I wanted to like the Canon Powershot A540. But the camera had some surprising shortcomings I couldn't overcome. As background, recently I purchased a Nikon D50 digital SLR – a...

Way more than I need, but I love it!

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend this camera to all users. It's a great P&S, yet has tons of features for the more experienced photographer.
Review: In the past I've always bought digital cameras based solely on price. I would get the best camera I could afford, which ended up getting me a couple of not-very-good cameras. The latest one died in the middle of a lovely evening full of prime...

My Experience With The Canon PowerShot A540, As A Mother Taking Pictures

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: i have had great experiences with this camera, its fool-proof and easy to use. I have taken some wonderful pictures and had very few blurry or grainy ones.
Review: I'll be the first to say that I am far from an expert on any item in electronics. When I went to make my decision on a digital camera I did my fair share of studying here at Epinions and elsewhere. Through this research I quickly decided that I...

Canon PowerShot A540 Camera, A Great Upgrade or a Great First Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Canon A540 represents an excellent choice in a point-and-shoot camera, with an optical viewfinder and a higher zoom level and more manual controls than most competing brands.
Review: With so many choices, how did I end up with a Canon A540? Read this review, learn some interesting things, and see how you, too, would end up making the same choice. With the price now below $200, it is hard to beat the A540.

A good choice for some people

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: Top-quality camera with the right feature set for some people
Review: The Canon A540 is yet another new model (Feb 2006 release) in Canon's highly-successful A series, aimed at amateur photographers who want some advanced shooting capabilities beyond a basic low-cost snapshot camera. The current A series models run on...

PowerShot A540 Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this camera. It is a solid mid-range camera with nice advanced features.
Review: If you read my review on the PowerShot A530, you will know why I now have a A540.

I use my digital camera on a daily basis. It is contantly nearby. I want dependability, ease of use, good hand feel, portability and photo quality in a...
