Pros Tiny and easy to use
Cons Needs to be upgraded right out of the box
Recommended it? Yes

I enjoy taking pictures of family and friends on special occasions, and of just about everything when I?m traveling. Aside from that, I rarely lug a camera around for no reason at all. I received the Canon Elph Power Shot 100 Digital camera for a birthday gift recently, and I barely put it down... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use and produces excellent photos!
Cons The CompactFlash card is too small!
Recommended it? Yes

This is truly a pocket camera about the size of a credit card just thicker in size than a credit card. It measures 3.4 inches wide x 2.2 inches in height x 1.1 inches thick.

This is a 2.11-megapixel (2.11 million-pixel) digital camera that can take photos as large as 1600 x 1200 of... Read full review »

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 »

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.
