Canon Powershot SX200 IS

Advantages: Lots of zoom, lots of pixels, sturdy
Disadvantages: No internal memory, flash pops up whether you want it to or not

...I bought this camera recently as I purchased a Canon EOS1000D DSLR and I wanted a compact digital with a large zoom for the times when I didn't feel like lugging the DSLR and all it's accessories around with me. I'd looked around at other models, and I know that there are many other cameras that offer a much higher zoom, but I finally settled on this one for a number of reasons. a) 12 million pixels. This is more than I'll probably ever need as it's very rare that I print anything above 8x10 but it was an upgrade on my previous digital compact. b) 12x optical zoom. This is more than adequate for general photography, any more and I think you do probably need a tripod. c) NB-5L Li-Ion Battery. This is just a personal preference but I prefer the rechargeable Li-Ion batteries. It's fairly cheap to buy a couple of spares and I...

Canon Powershot - Above Average

Advantages: Nice for a small camera, Good settings, Nice overall camera
Disadvantages: Noise @ Low light, Batterys recognised as empty

..., the powershot is very easy to use, its nice to hold and your hand is positioned well for all types of use, the screen is clear and a non digital viewfinder makes it very nice to use although this is not as accurate as you would expect, it has a button on the front which seems a bit out of place but im pretty sure its supposed to evaluate white balance, This camera hasn't been advertised as a very durable camera or a waterproof one, but a few light splashes of rain didn't do it any harm and it has held together after a few bumps, it does show paint scratches though, its case is a hard plastic and is quite seamless, Canon have done a good job at designing this camera, it boasts as a camera that is compact enough for a pocket and also has the usability of a bridge camera, the small bump on the left gives you great grip and gives space for two AA...

Review of Canon PowerShot A590 IS

Powershot from a canon.

Advantages: Affordable, excellent functions and easy to use.
Disadvantages: I will get back to you!

...As many of you will know from reading some of my earlier reviews, I am a very keen amateur photographer. Recently during a very steep learning curve I was given the opportunity to use the Canon Powershot S5 IS for a week and I was so impressed with it I bought one days later. Although I am very much an amateur there is enough functions on this camera to suit basic professional needs too. The camera is so versatile it can be used for the most basic functions such as making family albums or taking holiday snaps right through to the uses of a semi pro or amateur photographer like myself for doing photo shoots or for photographing sporting events and the likes. ░ The important features░ 12x optical zoom lens with Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and UD lens Optical Image Stabilizer 8.0 Megapixel CCD DIGIC III...

Review of Canon PowerShot S5 IS

It took me time to decide

Advantages: Zoom, small size, picture quality, playback and review
Disadvantages: Screen display a little grainy, doesn't like fluorescent lights, no optical video zoom

...After 2 solid weeks of reading scores of professional and general public reviews on the Canon Powershot 200sx I took the plunge and bought it. As this was my first digital camera I was somewhat apprehensive, maybe the thing would be too complex or too expensive for an entry level camera novice such as myself to take. At £243 (before the £40 cashback offer, which took a month to arrive) perhaps a slightly older model model at £120-150 would've been a wiser purchase. Aesthetically beautiful with a large 3" screen, x12 optical lens and 12.1 mega pixels at first impressions I seem to have made the right decision. The flash though always pops up and stays up, for some this is annoying for me it really means nothing, as I'm too busy learning the features and practicing picture taking. There are many preset modes such as landscape, indoor...

Canon PowerShot G10 review

Advantages: autofocus, big screen, face detection, 14,7 megapixel, image processor, image stabilisation
Disadvantages: chunky, not very stylish, not as portable as other cameras

...I recently bought one of these at an expensive price. I shall explain some features and my feedback to this item below. The 14.7-megapixel G10 replaces the PowerShot G9 at the top end of the clever compact space. It's a chunky beast of a camera, as you'll see in your pictures, but still smaller than a dSLR with comparable power and flexibity. The G-series are designed to be the back-up cameras you can keep in your pocket if you don't want to bust out the dSLR, and the G10 certainly packs a lot into its relatively compact frame. The G10 includes all the whistles, bells and accordions you'd expect: optical image stabilisation, face detection and various scene and colour modes. These include panorama stitch assist, portrait, landscape, and aquarium. The larger-than-most 1/1.7-inch sensor is teamed with Canon's new DIGIC 4 image...

Review of Canon PowerShot G10

Yes, I Love Canon Powershot A480 !

Advantages: small, light, great pictures, easy to use, attractive, super cheap
Disadvantages: low battery power, lens-error

...I have always been a fan of Canon digital cameras. Before i use Canon for personal digital camera, i had used Sony for several years until my friend introduced me to Canon IXUS which takes amazing pictures. And since that, i have never gone back to Sony. As we all know Canon digital cameras capture great pictures and very easy to use. When I first found Canon Powershot A480 [the red one] on the internet, i found it very cheap among the other digital cameras. I quickly read the features, of course, im not a professional photographer myself, so I just read that it basic features such as: 1. it is a 10.0-megapixel digital camera 2. it has 3.3x optical zoom and capable to print large size images beautifully 3. DIGIC III Image processor [certifies you take sharp images] 4.15 shooting modes with 12 special scene modes 5.High-quality 2.5-inch...

Canon Powershot SX110 IS

Advantages: Lots of features
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...Design The Canon Powershot SX110 IS is a pretty big camera compared to some on the market. It is around 11cm by 7cm and feels quite large in your hands, although this does make it feel sturdy and strongly built. Despite the size, it fits into your hands rather smoothly and is fairly comfortable to hold. It weighs in at around 300g which is quite heavy but once again makes it feel strong. It is too large to keep it comfortably in your pocket and so the wrist strap comes in handy. (A neck strap would be a nice addition though). I was told you can also purchase a pouch for it to clip on to your belt. You can get to the buttons, pop up flash light and battery space easily and they are all well made and strong. The battery space holds two AA battery's and they are easy to change compared to some cameras which are fiddly or the battery...

Review of Canon PowerShot SX110 IS

Canon Powershot SX1 IS Not as good as I expected

Advantages: a point and shoot 20x lens, reasonably good LCD screen
Disadvantages: image quality not great, pretty useless viewfinder, can be overly complicated to setup, CD manual

...The Canon Powershot SX1 IS seems to offer the impossible, read the reviews and it seems image quality is great, the lens has an amazing range of 28-560mm, its image stabilised, its got high quality move mode, ... Having taken about 500 pictures with it so far I am not that impressed. Take the camera out of the box charge some batteries add an SD card and see what you have got. The lens diameter is miniscule when compared to an SLR , nothing unexpected or revolutionary there then, so don't expect superb image quality especially in low light. Read the manual, er it looks ever so complicated, so lets try taking some pictures as I have already charged a set of batteries. There is the regulation set of modes, (P,Tv,Av,M,C) plus movie and a set of specials. So lets try Av (aperture priority) and shoot a squirrel in a reasonably well lit...

Review of Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

Canon Powershot A580

Advantages: Small, easy to use, great quality photos.
Disadvantages: Memory card needs to be bought separately.

...fabulous, normally the picture goes very blurry the further you zoom in, but with this is doesn't, this is probably because the camera is 8mexapixels. The camera I believe creates beautiful photos with the minimum of effort, its the best camera I have ever owned! At the moment there is an offer on for I think £150 where you get a Canon Selphy photo printer with the camera, which is a great offer, so look out for it if your thinking of buying this camera!!!...

Review of Canon PowerShot A580

Canon by name, average by nature!

Advantages: Good face detection, very robust and a good looker.
Disadvantages: Motion Detection Technology not all it is cracked up to be and other small niggles!

...Canon are a huge name in the world of photography and they have produced some very fine cameras, including some excellent top end DSLR`s. I have never been their biggest fan when it comes to point and shoot cameras and I almost always find something lacking in theirs when compared with the Cyber shots and Samsungs of this world so when I was handed the Canon Powershot A480 and asked to put it through its paces and give an opinion on it, I have to admit I did not expect to be blown away by it. Firstly I should say that aesthetically it will satisfy the needs of many as it can be bought in four colours, silver, black, blue or deep red, so that is the ?my camera looks better than yours? taken care of but is it any good? It has a ten megapixel capability, a 3.3X optical zoom and a 2.5 inch LCD screen, so it is pretty much on a par...
