Sony MVC-FD97 Digital Camera: Thanks for the memory.

by WulfsDen , May 4, 2002
Pros: The incredible zoom capability of the FD95 combined with faster, higher-resolution storage.
Cons: It is even more expensive than its pricey cousin.
The Bottom Line: For a wide range of portrait, landscape, wildlife, limited-action, and short movies, it is a super camera with a superb performance. If you liked the FD95, you'll LOVE the FD97.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The Sony Mavica FD97 is an upgrade to the Sony Mavica FD95. The two cameras are extremely similar in both appearance and use.

Canon PowerShot A530 as Compared to the A520; Same box, Same body, A Few Differences

by popsrocks , Jan 5, 2007
Pros: Much like the A520 that has been good to us the last couple of years.

This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: My wife and I purchased a Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera for her the spring before last. She was quite happy with the camera but she needed another because she wants to use the Power Shot A520 exclusively with the camera club she runs at...

Cons: Slow flash recycle time
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...
This reviewer recommends this product.
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...
