Canon's PowerShot S50: Slight Step above S45 but not Exactly Better!

byyusakugo May 17, 2003
68 Helpfuls 69 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 5 MegaPixels, Compact design, Good number of features
Cons Only 3x Zoom lens, red-eye reduction issues, weak flash
Recommended it? Yes

Funny... I had been playing on and off with a friend's S50 for the better part of the past one to one and a half months. I had been rather impressed with it from my limited exposure. An interesting opportunity came up to buy the S50 for $400! An opportunity that if I passed on, I wouldn't be able... Read full review »

Canon PowerShot A510 Digital Camera - Compact and Cheap, But Flexible

bydkozin Aug 3, 2005
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent optics for low price and compact size, uses 2 AA batteries, features, 4x zoom
Cons Flash creates shadow in corner in Macro mode and overexposes unless you use ISO50/f8
Recommended it? Yes

A replacement for the last year's Canon A75, the 3.2-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A510 is currently available at rather low prices. I got mine for $161 after coupons including taxes and shipping at Dell. I also got the 4-Megapixel A520 to see the difference for only $20 more. Your mileage may vary... Read full review »
