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 »

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 Excellent image quality<br>Very good HD movie mode<br>14x zoom
Cons Grainy LCD screen<br>Expensive
Recommended it? Yes

I loved Canon’s “S” series digicams (the S3 and S5 were both superb image capture devices) and I was a bit leery of the “SX” series that replaced them.  But, I’ve come to regard the “SX” series as (mostly)  worthy successors to the benchmark... Read full review »

Pros great documentation, ease of use, fantastic image & video quality, good size
Cons location of flash, no viewfinder, screen can easily be damaged
Recommended it? Yes

I am pretty hard on cameras, especially my digital ones.  My most recent, also a Canon, actually lasted pretty long, nearly five years. I was getting ready to think about replacing it when I broke the screen.  That was all the incentive I needed to invest in a new camera. I was extremely... Read full review »
