    Good compact camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 6, 2005 | 27 out of 27 found this Canon PowerShot A510 review helpful

    Pros: picture quality, 4x zoom, versatile, simplicity

    Cons: battery life, memory card, small LCD

    This is my second digital camera that I have owned. My last was a Samsung and I lost it so I purchased this Canon A510. This camera caught my eye with its simplicity and versatility. It takes great quality pictures, and has great picture features. Ev...en in low light or no light the pictures still come out great. There are only three things I do not like about this camera they are which is said alot, the battery life, memory card storage, and I think the LCD could be a litttle bigger. But just to sum everything up this is a great camera for the best price. Read more Less

    My First One

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 24, 2005 | 11 out of 11 found this Canon PowerShot A510 review helpful

    Pros: Simplicity, Versatility

    Cons: Battery life, Memory capacity

    My first camera, never mind digital. My only beefs were also battery life, and memory. I spent the extra $30 and got a 128MB memory card, and haven't even come close to being able to fill it. It still would have been nice if the camera had come w...ith something a little bigger than 16MB. While learning how to use the camera, I blew through about 4 sets of batteries. Lately, however,I am more comfortable with the operation, and don't go through them quite so often. Never been a big fan of rechargeable batteries, but it has been about 6-7 years since I tried them. Maybe it's time... Read more Less

    Well worth it

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 18, 2005 | 11 out of 12 found this Canon PowerShot A510 review helpful

    Pros: Great pictures, easy to use. Great software!

    Cons: None

    We have 4 digital camera's in my family. Believe me, this one has the longest battery life out of all of them. My old Minolta goes through 4 AA's about every 20 pictures. If you have rechargables and keep an extra set with you, you should be ...all set. All digital cameras eat batteries for lunch, that's simply the nature of the beast. Also, all digital camera's come with a teeny tiny card. That's known as "out of the box" memory. So you can try it when you pull it out from under the Christmas tree. Memory cards are cheap enough, a 256Mb holds plenty. I also think that the software that is included is the best by far that comes with cameras. Keeps pictures very organized. The only drawback is that you can't really enhance too easily but I have Adobe for that so it's not an issue. I really wanted the Cannon Elph but couldn't spend the money. I'm very pleased with this camera. Read more Less

    Great, fun camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 12, 2005 | 8 out of 8 found this Canon PowerShot A510 review helpful

    Pros: Easy-to-use, fast zoom, great photos in most light

    Cons: Small memory card and short battery life

    Luckily, I bought a 512M SD card at the same time I bought my A510, as the SD card that comes with the A510 is only 16M -- way too small. The batteries run out quickly with this one, but if you use rechargables, that's not too much of a worry or... expense. The camera works well with almost any lighting situation you'll find yourself in. I'm very happy with my purchase. Read more Less

    Great camera!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 10, 2005 | 8 out of 8 found this Canon PowerShot A510 review helpful

    Pros: Great pictures

    Cons: Battery, flash recharging

    This is a great starter camera, takes beautiful pictures and easy to operate. Had to buy rechargeable batteries because it goes through regular batteries quickly. Also, the flash takes a while to recharge in between pictures.

    Canon A510

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 29, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Canon PowerShot A510 review helpful

    Pros: 4X optical Zoom, Optical VF plus LCD, Many Features

    Cons: Haven't really found any cons!

    Bought it for my wife to carry in her purse for $172 with shipping from online store. Amazing how many features and level of quality you can get in this price range. 3.2 mp, 4X optical zoom, optical VF and LCD VF, good connectivity with no-PC printer...s, enough manual and special settings to amuse most camera hobbyists. I like ability to use AA size rechargables or Alkalines in a pinch. Some complain about flash refresh speeds,etc. I don't expect the same performance as an $800-1000 digital/35mm film wannabee for $172. Read more Less

    Best there is

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 8, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Canon PowerShot A510 review helpful

    Pros: nothing..

    Cons: battery door..be careful!

    A 3.2 megapixel camera that delivers awesome images, what more can we ask for? I have used this camera for half a year and showed no signs of let up.. she's ready for anything! Took her to rock climbing, fishing trips, beaches, mountains, even...ts that demand fast shooting.. she's done it with aplomb! gripes: almost none, except for the doors of the memory card and the batteries, really handle them with care-- easy does it.. oh, get at least a 512 mb sd card. and keep the camera in the case, the monitor glass can be scratched easily. all in all, i've got one neat camera that lives to my expectation -- so what more can I/we ask for?
