Canon PowerShot A510 3.2MP Digital Camera Review
March 10th, 2010
Canon PowerShot A510 3.2MP Digital Camera Review from Numm in SF. An excellent Camera at an Amazing Price!, This camera is my 3rd Canon digicam. My first Canon digicam was Canon a60 which was great but it was a bit too bulky for me. I bought this camera as a alternative option next to my canon a400 and I’m definitely satisfied.
Pros:
-4x Zoom ( Can’t beat that!…many digicams only come with 3x)
-Big and bright 1.8 screen which gains light in the dark
-It’s canon! Great lens and brand. Very reliable
-A bit faster shutter speed compared with Canon A400
-Very Comfortable to hold and very firm (has hand grip)
-Movie mode at 640×480 for 30sec and 320×240 for 3 mins max
-Use only 2 AA batteries. Last over 100 pics with flash and screen on at all time(I tested it with 2300mAh rechargable batteries)
-Fast start-up time(less than 3 second once you turn the camera on)
-Easy to use for anyone who familiar with canon digicam(same board which is Digic!…too bad this cam does not come with Digic2 which works faster and allows user to record longer movie clip)
-Great printing quality as usual for Canon
Cons:
-Still has slow shutter speed when taking picture at best quality with flash(up to 5 secs which isn’t so bad compared to Canon A400)
-A bit bigger than other brand for the same price and pixels(but you get canon camera that uses AA battery + 4x zoom)
-The dial swich and capture/view switches are a bit hard to turn at first but it got easier after a month)
Overall, I love this camera as Canon seems to know what they are doing when they make their cameras. I’m one happy canon’s customer. Buy it and you won’t regret it.
Also, you can buy canon case psc60 which designed for A60-A95 models, it sure fits this canon a510 just fine. Or else, try the psc65 which designed just for Canon A510 and A520.
Hope this review will help someone who is deciding which camera to buy. Cheers!
