Canon PowerShot A530

Great camera. Low price with good image quality, and lots of features and controls. It does not have Tv and Av modes like other A5xx, but at least it has the M (full manual) mode, for that creative photo you wouldn´t get otherwise. In most times I use the P mode, that gives the ideal balance between control and automatism, for me. (BTW, in this camera the diaphragm only has 2 different apertures per zoom setting... so it would not make much sense an Av and Tv mode anyway, imho) The body is ...

Very good cheap camera, I used for many vacations and tourist tours. The quality of the imges is good, with good details, good color and contrast. The perfect camera during the day. At night... see below. Very good auto focus system, with helping lamp (never had a bed picture, out of the thousends taken). Problems: At night, it suffers when excluding the flash, because any picture taken at ISO over the 200 is unacceptable (400 and especially 800 is very noisy, and grainy). I would have ...

I am using the Powershot A530 for more than an year now, and I am quite happy with its performance. I have done mostly outdoor shooting, and the image quality is very good for a 5MP camera. Shoot at lower ISO, and the images are excellent. The manual focus mode is very easy to use and produces excellent results.

After researching every digital camera out there, I find that the A530 seemed to be the best value for the money with the features I wanted. There are many cool features on it inlcuding: The option to preview a picture with the rule of thirds, 13 scene modes, 4X optical zoom, and the ability to adjust flash power in 13 brightnesses. I think it's a great beginner camera with fully manual controls available. Problems: In manual mode, you can only choose between 2 f-stops f2.8 and f5.6. Iso 800 ...
