Cons: none at the price

Review: Powershot A610. The Canon 610, is one of canon’s bread and butter cameras, the $200-$300 range. It is an ideal compact for a semi professional looking for a pocketable camera to have with them at all times, with one caveat, it can’t use the same memory ...

Pros: autofocus mechanism is spectacular, photos turn out beautiful, easy to learn to use.

Cons: can not zoom while filming in movie mode.

The Bottom Line: Honestly, nothing beats a Canon and this one's the best out there.

Review: I am not ordinarily one to make such broad, sweeping statements, but I am very, VERY impressed with this camera. Here are some initial impressions: - Movie mode is great...it makes AVI files in 160, 320, or 640 resolution (4:3) with okay quality mono ...

Pros: Image quality, Options for taking photos, movie mode.

Cons: Flimsy cover for outputs, needs 4 batteries, and eats them up.

The Bottom Line: For the money, you can't beat the features that the A610 has.

Review: This camera has been worth every penny I paid for it. I started using it right out of the box, and have loved every minute of it. This 5.0 megapixel camera has the most features for the money that I've seen for this type camera. It has a nice 4x zoom, ...

Pros: 4x optical zoom, 5.3 Megapixels and NO rechargeable battery

Cons: Camera is too big to fit in your pocket; you need a small carrying case.

The Bottom Line: I love this camera, I will never buy anything except for a Canon.

Review: I received this camera as an early wedding present last year and took it to a friend’s wedding the weekend before my own. The camera ended up taking better pictures then the bride's professional photographer took. The quality was much better than I ...

Cons: None, larger size than some other digital cameras.

The Bottom Line: Easy decision: Canon A610 is easier to use, uses AA batteries, more optical zoom, ergonomic design, more features, and takes better pictures.

Review: Deciding on which digital camera is difficult, however if you purchase this Canon A line camera, you can't go wrong. Having tried and tested many digital camera, the decision often comes down do you want a "good looking camera" (i.e. very slim, light, ...

Pros: Continuous movie mode, LCD monitor flips around for self made movies

Cons: movie AUDIO less than perfect, Camera has too many "bells & whistles"

The Bottom Line: Excellent camera for the money. But be prepared to study the manual.

Review: After 2 months of use, I have to say I like this camera a lot. As with many Canon digitals, the still images are a wee bit soft. I suspect the Canon engineers deliberately made it this way. In taking photos of people, skin tones are smooth and thus ...

Pros: -Great Pictures -Also does decent quality video

Cons: -Can go through batteries pretty fast -Has a flimsy a/v cover.

Review: After previously owning a low end Sony Cybershot, I decided to purchase a new digital camera. I looked around and read some reviews and found this particular camera to be the right choice. After using it for about a year, I am not disappointed with my ...
