'Unfortunately, Canon skimped big time on the screen resolution (there are just 85,000 pixels)'
'he A540's images got rather noisy; at anything above ISO 200, the noise pattern was noticeable and distracting, and the colors become flat and dull.'
'Solid image quality, usable ISO 800 performance, and a full set of manual controls make the Canon PowerShot A540 an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts looking for an almost-pocketable second camera, or for budding photographers who aren't ready to move up to a superzoom EVF model or digital SLR.'
'The 38mm-to-114mm zoom lens (35mm-camera equivalent) is narrow at the short end of the scale and produces nearly unusable photos at the far telephoto end.'
'It incorporates Fujifilm's innovative Super CCD'
'None of the images are sharp enough for my liking.'
'a reduction in size and weight (it's 13% smaller and 20% lighter), the inclusion of a new four times optical zoom lens'
'Packed with value superior to any other camera in its class, the PowerShot A510 is brimming with that "best buy" feel. 3.2 Megapixel resolution, Canon's exclusive DIGIC Image Processor and a new, longer 4x optical zoom bring life-like detail and radiant color to all your images.'
'The Canon PowerShot A510 digital camera is a compact design that is simple and focused on family needs.'
'easy-to-use shutter- and aperture-priority modes'
