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

byHoward_Creech Oct 14, 2006

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 »

Canon EOS 40D vs EOS Canon 60D, or why my amazing 40D had to go?

bymyord Jan 23, 2011
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Image quality, sensor, articulated LCD screen, weight, ISO, RAW processing, HD video...
Cons Missing magnesium alloy body, smaller size body, needs battery grip
Recommended it? Yes

Note: The review is based on my experience with the following DSLR I've owned: Canon Rebel XTI, Canon 5D, Canon 40D, Canon 50D (short-lived) and now Canon 60D. 

The idea of getting the new Canon 60D became apparent when the price of the brand new Canon 60D body dropped to $999... Read full review »

Hey guys, I got this camera for my birthday a couple months ago, and I absolutely love it. I was hovering between a 7D and a 60D for months now. Now having held both, I am extremely glad I have invested in the Canon EOS 60D. 
See I'm a guy who likes to travel. I've been to places like... Read full review »
