The Canon Powershot A640 Digital Camera may be the best new digicam of 2006

byHoward_Creech Oct 14, 2006
100 Helpfuls 101 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 10 megapixels, 4X optical zoom, full manual controls, and AA batteries
Cons Some minor chromatic aberration (purple fringing) and very high noise levels at ISO 800
Recommended it? Yes

Canon's "A" series digicams are well known for their bang for the buck, class leading performance, impressive build-quality, creative flexibility, and amazing ease of use. Last year's A620 sold especially well because Canon listened to what digital camera buyers wanted and then created a camera... Read full review »

Cons Slightly flimsy construction, ISO 400-800 noisy, price a bit too high
Recommended it? Yes

A replacement for the last year's 7.1-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A620, the Canon PowerShot A640 has upgraded 10-Megapixel resolution, larger LCD screen and other improvements. As a top of the Canon A6-line, I wanted to see how it performs and purchased one as soon as it became available.

Pros Image quality, easy to use, well built, price, wide angle, HDMI, image stabilization,...
Cons No manual aperture or shutter speed control, blurry corners at wide angle

Thin and pretty aren't everything.

byecadvocate Sep 12, 2011
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Thin, pretty, lightweight, great video, good photos, wide angle lens.
Cons Short 4x zoom, processor not fast, light sensor not too big, menu hard to use.
Recommended it? No

This camera takes very good photos and HD video because of it's excellent wide angle lens, image stabilizer and image processor. But it's shooting speed isn't fast, it has limited zoom range (4x) and it needs a flash in low light and it's not cheap.

It's big selling point is the fact that... Read full review »
