Evolutionary Convergence Is Canon's Powershot A520 the first real entry level prosumer Digicam?

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: Canon's new A520 is a worthy successor to the superb Powershot A85, an upgrade that offers genuine improvement and enhanced usability
Review: History often repeats itself and the past can be a good gauge of the future. Canon's "A" series digicams have been industry leaders since the introduction of the groundbreaking little A20. Last year's A75, A85, and A95 were huge sellers because...

Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera, One Fine Camera and Easy To Use

Date of Review:  May 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: This happens to be a fine camera that isn't overly expensive for a good, solid first camera.
Review: Back in December I was the lucky recipient of my first ever Digital camera. This gift moved me into a whole new world of taking images. The camera I received was the Canon Power Shot A400 Camera. It was very simple to use.

Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera - An Excellent and Cheap Compact Camera

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Canon PowerShot A520 if you need an inexpensive yet capable compact camera that produces excellent photos with print sizes...
Review: When I saw that using some coupons available at the time, I could get a Canon PowerShot A520 for only $180 at Dell, I immediately ordered it (along with the Canon A510 for $161). And now I can report my findings about the performance, feel and...

Canon A520: A Great Personal Use Camera

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: For price and features you won't go wrong with the Canon PowerShot A520. You can now see photos taken with this camera at http://epi-cmaw63.pbwiki.com/Electronics
Review: Need a good digital camera but don't have a clue where to start? Maybe you already have the knowledge, but are overwhelmed with the multitude of digital camera options. I had never held a digital camera, let alone used one when I was given the Canon...

Pro Control, Budget Pricing, and 4x Optical Zoom. I'm sold!

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Canon has produced a winner in the budget digital camera market! Buy it now, but be sure to buy AA rechargeables, a bigger SD card, and a camera case.
Review: Two months ago, my wife and I lamented at how our Toshiba PDR-3300 (3.2 megapixels, 2.8x optical zoom) broke down right when our newborn son had come home. As with our first son, we wanted to take a slew of pictures of the cute, little guy, but the...

An Old Reliable Tank of a Camera

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2009
The Bottom Line: I have had this camera for over 3 years and it has been great.  If you're a beginner this camera is perfect and you can't break it.  Great camera!
Review: I am one of those guys like Scrooge McDuck.  Well in some ways I guess.  Scrooge had the reputation of being very rich, but not ready to just give his money out to anyone.  I am not very rich, but when I go to buy something somewhat expensive, like...

Good price, Solid Camera, good entry level dig cam.

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Recommend, high reviews on consumer reports and this camera met my goals for it. But shutter lag and next shot delay may be slow at times.
Review: Info from: (http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/psa520/index-e.html) very useful page if you own this camera

The PowerShot A520 is the successor to the PowerShot A85 with enhanced compactness and functions.
This camera is equipped with an...

First time user, decent for the price

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend the camera to new digi-camera users. We used it for taking hospital newborn baby pictures and are satisfied with the results considering the price and 4.0 megapixels limitation.
Review: Disclaimer: I am not a camera expert, by any means.

I purchased the A520 for the sole purpose of capturing my new baby daughter in digital style, who arrived on July 7th. I have to say that for only 4 megapixels, it produces a very decent...

Good, low-cost camera with some flaws

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: Good camera for beginners that later want more sophisticated features and especially those who want to print 8x10 photos. Not good for those who want decent video.
Review: I need a camera as a present for my daughter. After talking to her I came up with these requirements:
- A point-n-shoot camera that also offers some manual functions for special occasions
- A camera that is average in size, not too bulky...

Canon Powershot A520: a great everyday camera

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great everyday camera with some nice special features for those who want to go further.
Review: When I was told that I would receive the digital camera of my choice for my 18th birthday, I started doing some serious research. I found that the A520 had more of the features that I wanted than any other camera in the price range, and Canon is at...
