...naturally - on my old Canon A40 there was no playback sound). "In Conclusion" The only real negative is the speed with which the two AA batteries are consumed, but that's my fault for not buying rechargables. This model is smaller & lighter than earlier versions, but functions are not sacrificed. Do buy an extra memory card, otherwise your enthusiasm for taking 5 megapixel photos will be swiftly thwarted by lack of space. The x4 optical zoom is ...
...you're contemplating a career as a paparazzo, probably unnecessary most of the time. There are a few other functions and changeable settings, but I can't find the manual to remind myself of what they are! So this review comes with a caveat: It concentrates on the elements I use on a regular basis and is not exhaustive. I've also undermined what was going to be my final point: Read the manual! As far as I can remember it is well written and informative, ... Read review

Advantages: Very durable, good quality photos, outstanding.
Disadvantages: Colour changes provided are not amazing but OK.

...menu. One cool little feature Canon has introduced is Sound Memo, in which you can record a memo for a picture and view it later on camera or computer. You also have the ability to protect images so other people will not be able to view it without Canon Zoombrowser. You can also rotate the image if you've taken it at a weird angle and the auto-rotate feature has put it in a weird position. And finally, the good old Erase All. In the other sections ...
...you can get from a Canon Digital IXUS 60. For your information, if you manage to get the camera completely mesmerized in water, then the first thing you should do is leave it in a airing cupboard. I tried to work it afterwards and it was hard to press certain buttons, and if it works, you wouldn't get very far. Leave it in the airing cupboard for at least a good few hours, wait for it to fully dry and test. My screen got a little bit damaged around ... Read review

Advantages: ease of use, compact size, great features
Disadvantages: a bit pricey at launch

Having been really disappointed with the previous digital camera I had (Fuji s5000), I was somewhat reluctant to go an buy another. However, when I bought this little beauty, I am glad I did. The price was a little on the high side at the time, and the 5 MP would be fairly low end compared to some of the 10MP out there right now, but this camera does the job for me. Ultra compact, easy to use, and an internal re-chargable battery that seems to ...
...adore my Ixus. While the above factors are good to consider, we all need to focus (pardon the pun) on what a camera does, and what we need it to do. Take photographs! This Ixus does the basics of taking a photograph very well indeed. Enhancements such as red eye elimination and the anti shake function compliment the fantastic lens in the unit. I have always been impressed by every photograph I take with the camera, and even after one year of ownership, ... Read review

...of the godchildren. Canon Powershot A430 is a 4 megapixel digital camera with a four times optical zoom lens. When it came out, it was an entry level digital camera, this meant that it has less features and functions but as a rule made it easier for children and older people to use.

Advantages: Compact, sleek, easy to use, excellent picture quality, good video quality
Disadvantages: Buttons can be a little small, screen on rear could be larger

I bought this camera when it was new over 2 years ago now. I is still as reliable as when first bought. Picture quality is excellent and ease of use superb. This is one of the best digital compact cameras i have used an although was over £200 when new can be bought at a fraction of the cost now. Screen on rear is adequate size but the newer version (Ixus 60 and above) have all the same features but a larger screen. If you are looking for a camera ... Read review
