Advantages: It was a good, powerful, easy to use camera
Disadvantages: Got manufacturer defect, Not very light weight

...I bought Canon Power Shot A70 from US a year ago. Now I am in UK and one day suddenly found my Canon LCD is just showing some horizontal lines instead of any picture output. I was sooo disappointed with this. Tried a lot to fix it but nothing happened. I was then just surfing the web for any instruction to fix this problem when I found an Announcement in Canon USA and also Canon UK site that these A series and many other Canon product [Other Canon Product List: Digital IXUS II, Power Shot A300, Power Shot A70, MV600, MV650i, MV700i, MV5i, MV6iMC, Digital IXUS 400, Power Shot A40, Power Shot A95, Digital IXUS IIs, Power Shot A310, Power Shot A75, MV600i, MV690, MV730i, MV5iMC, Digital IXUS330, Digital IXUSV2, Power Shot A80, Power Shot S60,Digital IXUS V3, Power Shot A60, MV590, MV630i, MV700, MV750i, MV5, Digital IUS430, Digital IXUS 500...

...Whist in Japan last year I decided to look at the new technology and walked away £250 the lighter but with a bargain.The camera is lightweight and a small item but gives fantastic results. The quality is quite fantastic. On the higher quality setting I can store up to fifty pictures but on the lower quality over one hundred and fifty. The only disadvantage is not having a zoom lens, perhaps I should have bought its brother the A5 zoom. Anyway I'm very impressed with Canon products. There is a new Canon out that goes up to 3 million mega pixels but its very expensive.... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, robust
Disadvantages: Might not be easy to find on sale

...I love the Canon Power Shot G2 camera that I use in my working life as a journalist/photographer. It is robust and strong, and is ideal for the busy professional who needs to take quality images quickly. There are many features on this camera, macro feature and everything else you would expect from a camera of this type. However, there is something you will not find, a digital zoom. The zoom on the Canon is an optical zoom and this means that the quality of photographs is always sharp and always crisp. Many people have been severely disappointed when they have taken a new digital camera out of the box and found out that the so-called digital zoom returns sub-standard images. As I say, this is not the case with the Canon Power Shot G2. The image screen shows you exactly what the image will be and the screen can be put in a number... Read review

Advantages: good quality good value
Disadvantages: smaller screen on the back compared to other digital cameras

...I have found this camera to be very user friendly with excellent photo quality. It s not very heavy on battery power and after also purchasing a 512mg card has a lot of storage space, about 500 photos. The design is very ergonomic and sturdy and has survived being dropped a couple of times. It has a added hole on the bottom to use a tripod for those more steadier photographs. Th screen on the back is not as large as some of the cameras on he market today, but has a clear colourful display. Various setings make it easy for anyone to use the camera in all kinds of different light. I would reccomend this camera to any users from beginners to expert users. Good buy good quality....

Advantages: Packed with creative functions
Disadvantages: It has now been discontinued

...I have found that the Canon A70 is a great mid-experience digital camera. With a resolution of 3 Million Pixels and the canon lens system it produces good quality prints. Larger print sizes such as 7" x 5" and 9" x 6" are no problem to this camera. It can cope with A4 also but does suffer from pixelation problems the larger you go. This camera is probably not the best one for beginners but makes an ideal second digital camera as it is loaded with many creative controls that will allow the user with more photographic knowledge to do more than just 'point and click'. It has many scene modes and also manual controls such as aperture and shutter priorities. It takes AA batteries, which is handy if you are out and about when they run out, as any garage/ newsagent can sell you a temporary set. I have found though that it is best to use... Read review

Advantages: easy operations, large LCD, fast focus.
Disadvantages: len is too long, and has slow to focus in dark light.

...Just bought from ebuyer. I got the best price in the UK. and it is very good digital camera so far I owned. the previous one is olympus C-8080. I have to say C-8080 was an excellent camera with dog's good quality pictures. however, the menu system is awful. naives have to learn some to gain the fluent operations in C-8080. Canon powershot pro1 is excellent in easy operation. the menu is very simple and almost there are all buttons on the camera corrsponding to the menu functions. the manual focus is good,like the normal camera operations. but the len is little bit longth when you shot telepictures. the focus is slow in dark light. movies clip is not as good as c8080 although they are using the same frame rate per second. overall the performance to price is good now....

Advantages: Direct photo printing, Face Detection technology and in-camera red-eye fix
Disadvantages: Little memory storage included

...I loved my Canon advanced point and shoot camera! This is my first digital camera purchase and I'm very satisfied. It has a lot of great features. The price was right. I'm learning more about its capabilities every day. The menu features are clear and concise, very well thought out for beginners like me. I'm now the official photographer for all of my family's get-togethers. The flash is compact but strong. The pre-set film settings for auto, night portrait, kids and pets, snow, fireworks are great! Each has it's own advantages. I'm still experimenting with the macro lens setting for still life shots. They put a lot of bang for the buck in this camera. I recommend this for beginners to intermediate photographers. You will not be dissapointed.... Read review

Advantages: Long lasting charge, durable and easy to use
Disadvantages: None at all

...that whenever I used the camera, at the end of the day I would take the battery currently in the camera out and re-charge it, and then replace it with the spare one. At first I didnt notice much of a difference between the quality of the two batteries but recently the Jessops battery will only run the camera for a few photos before running out of power. I have taken approximately 1300 photos on my camera with a majority of them using the Canon battery so I was pretty miffed about why my Jessops battery needed replacing so soon. I therefore decided to go into Jessops to buy a new Canon battery which gave me the opportunity to seek an explanation as to why my Jessops battery failed so soon. Its all to do with mAh In Jessops I was told that my Canon battery is about 840 mAh and the Jessops was about 700 mAh. What does that mean? I never really... Read review

Advantages: nice resolution on small camera, very easy to use. Fun to use.
Disadvantages: small zoom

...When looking around in the large selection of digital cameras my eyes wandered over the canon Powershot range in an Argos catalogue. I was looking for a high powered, compact digital camera which was practical for all aspects of non-professional photographic uses. The canon A75 is a camera with a 3.2 megapixel sensor, in layman’s terms this means that on the resolution scale, this is reasonably high with maximum of 3.2 million pixels per picture. With many of the smaller models of digital cameras there is a low powered zoom and unfortunately, this is yet another addition to those aforementioned cameras. The 3 times zoom is rather low and can at time be slightly blurry, especially when taking close ups of objects or things not too far away. One of the bonus’ of this camera is its straightforwardness, its incredibly simple to use... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, cheap, reliable, durable, good quality pictures, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Goes through battrys like no tomorrow (ReChargebles recommended)

...Buying my Canon A530 was actually a emergency buy as my FujiFilm E510 packed in on a holiday on florida. I payed $230 (£115) for it which also bought a 2Gb memory card for the camera separate, which would allow me to take over 1300 photos, so I was feeling pleased with it. *****Ease of Use***** This was my second digital camera so I had only been used to using my old one. But as a person who laughs in the face of any instruction manual, found the Canon very easy to use, especially good for beginners, but has alot of tricks and features up its sleave. For example, on playback mode when looking at a picture, if you turn the camera on its side, the picture on the screen will rotate the apropriate way so it can still be seen. *****Specs***** Although specs in the A-series cameras vary, the A530 offers: - a 1.8 inch LCD screen - 4x Optical...
