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.

Canon Powershot A3300 IS

byHoward_Creech Jul 16, 2011
57 Helpfuls 58 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, Very good pictures, and HD video
Cons Slight tendency toward over-exposure, can’t use the zoom in video capture mode.
Recommended it? Yes

Canon introduced several new digicams at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, but the compact Canon PowerShot A3300 IS (which replaces the very popular A3100 IS) may be the most interesting of the lot. At first glance, the A3300 IS doesn’t look like the culmination of almost 200 years of... Read full review »
