No more .. 7.1MP A470 PowerShot Canon

Canon Powershot A470. We have a Canon Camera, but it's larger and heavier than the Powershot A470. I wanted something small that I could either put in my pocket or bag. This camera fits that description and more. It's easy to set, focus and shoot! The pictures are clear and sharp. Recently though, I downloaded pictures into a digital picture frame. I was disappointed that some of the pictures had dark background and were fuzzy, but I think that Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP was more fault of the picture frame than the camera. I'm returning the digital frame for a larger one. All-in-all, I love my new camera and highly recommend Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP for someone who just wants an easy-to-use and carry-around type of camera.
A good entry-level camera. These PowerShot "A" cameras are Canon's attempt to deliver the quality and features of its more expensive PowerShot "G" and PowerShot Pro "S" lines (such as full zoom lenses) at a budget price. The results are pretty good. (How do I know? Because I've actually gotten to use all of these cameras. I earn my living at Walt Disney World writing a travel guide, and nearly every day guests ask me to take photos of them with their own cameras, which most often are Canon PowerShots.)

Here's my opinion of the top-selling "A" series cameras:

7TH PLACE: Featuring Canon's acclaimed Digic III processor, the 2007-model A560 includes the company's face-detection metering system and a decent red-eye removal. It's a nice camera, but a better value is the new A470 (see below). $150 list.

6TH PLACE: The A570IS is the same camera as the A560 but with optical image stabilization and the ability to shoot manually. $200 list.

5TH PLACE: You can do a lot with the sweet little A630. It's a 2006 model, but has a flip-out LCD panel and lots of manual controls. The shots I've seen from this model look great. Keep your ISO under 800 and you won't get any noise. $350 list. (Canon offers a 2007 version of this camera that I haven't had much experience with yet, the A650 IS. Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP also lists for $350.)

4TH PLACE: The 2008-model A580 is an A590IS (see 1st Place, below) without image stabilization and with semi-automatic instead of manual controls. $150 list.

3RD PLACE: The fully-loaded A720 IS has all the toys, including a 6x zoom (35mm film equivalent of 35-210mm), image stabilization, adjustable flash power and optional second-curtain flash. This last feature means you can make the flash fire at the end of a long exposure, instead of the beginning, so moving subjects streak into focus instead of out. A 2007 model. $200 list.

2ND PLACE: The 2008 entry-level A470 (the camera on this page) is great for kids or anyone just looking for a good basic camera. But frankly, it's better than basic. Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP includes Canon's face detection technology and has a zoom lens, 14 shooting modes and the ability to set exposure compensation, ISO and white balance manually. Plus Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP looks great with the color inserts. Everyone with this little camera always seems to be having fun. $130 list.

1ST PLACE: The A590IS is the A580 (see 4th Place, above) with image stabilization and with the option of full manual controls. For an extra $30 those features are well worth it. I bought this model for myself. $180 list.
Good kid camera. Bought this camera for our 4-year-old. Really, a $100 camera for a 4-year-old? Well, I did not want to spend $85 on Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera - Blue (New Version) that is big and clunky and even though Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP may be a little tougher, the view screen and picture quality is no match for the Canon PowerShot A470.

I got a nice small camera case and my son has taken great care of this camera. He used Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP on our recent vacation and he took great pictures. Have created a web site to share his unique outlook on life.

This is a good camera with minimal options, but with great picture quality. The color options were fun for the kid to pick out as well.

SD890IS 10MP camera PowerShot Canon headache

Great camera. Great camera but things like the on/off button are awkward (very small)
Some good improvements over the 850IS I bought last year. I like Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera .
Replacement for my Canon Powershot 700IS. I loved my 700 for a number of reasons, compactness and portibility among them, but stupidly carried in unprotected in my pocket and dust worked its way into the lens and begain to show-up in the telephoto images as blurry spots. The 700 has a 4x optical zoom and I wanted that at least, so the 890 with its' 5x zoom and viewfinder was a good fit for me. I've only had Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera a few weeks, but so far am very pleased!
Superb. One of the most versatile point-and-shoots on the market. Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera has a handful of modes to play around with (the color swap is my personal favorite). Very nice, clean looking finish. Its compact, yet for its size, Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera doesn't feel flimsy at all. Its a bit heavier than Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera looks, which is better for maintaining a steady hand while shooting. However this really isn't an issue with this camera since Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera has image stabilization, a must for Starbucks fanatics. Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera also comes with the tried, tested, and true optical view-finder, handy when in a battery pinch. The shutter speed is fine, hardly any delay at all. Once you turn Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera on, you'll never miss a moment. The main appeal of this camera however is its 5X zoom function. Of course Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera is still a compact point-and-shoot, but the function works better than expected from a camera of this price range, i.e. crisp zoom shots, although occasionally a bit blurry at max. Well, I don't mean to cheapen it, Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera really provides some amazing results. On a side note, for some reason I can't help but feel a bit more macho every time I zoom in to take a shot and my lens protrudes more than any other camera around...I don't know why.

The only major flaw this camera has, which is far from fatal, is its generic looking/feeling on/off button. Yes, this minor imperfection still deserves its own paragraph and a star as well. First of all, for a button that holds such great importance, Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera is quite illusive. Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera took me fifteen seconds to find it, and once I did, I sort of wish I hadn't. Its made of cheap plastic that illuminates a hideous green when powered on. Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera really stands out as the only blemish on this fine piece of technology. Interesting choice for Canon to do such a thing on a camera this high up in their point-and-shoot ranks. Maybe they should have included some sort of stylus type thingy for us to poke around with. Sometimes I fear that I won't be able to turn the camera on in time for that classic shot, and that when I do manage to maneuver my pinky just right, I might not be able to ever power Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP camera off again. But hey, I might not have to since taking pictures with this camera is an experience indeed.

Disregard that last paragraph. My girlfriend says I just have fat fingers.

Information about Camera Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP

Pretty Good! Not Excellent. For the pixel peeper set and those serious about image quality:

The image quality of SD880IS fell a little short of my expectations. My last camera was a Canon S70  (7MP) which is now quite old, but Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Camera still produces better per-pixel sharpness, except wide open in the corners, than the SD880IS. Some limitations of the SD880IS for those serious about image quality are

1) The DIGIC IV chip will perform noise reduction at all times, even in bright daylight at ISO 80, reducing detail in areas of low contrast; you can't turn Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Camera off.

2) No manual modes means living with sub-optimal aperture selection, further reducing sharpness.

3) The auto exposure is much more likely to clip highlights in contrasty settings than on the S70; be ready to use exposure compensation of -1/3 to -1 to avoid blown highlights.

4) Whether it's optics or DIGIC processing I'm not sure (it's not shutter speed), but I frequently have image areas that are smudgy when viewed at 100%, effectively reducing the amount of information in the 10MP file to something similar to a sharp 6MP file.

5) The movie mode shows very visible vertical streaking at each specular highlight, not just on the display while filming (not unusual), but on the stored file as well. Neither the S70 or G9 have this problem.

With 4 years separating the S70 and SD880IS, I was expecting a real noticeable improvement in image quality. If it's there, it's not very noticeable. That said if you never print > 8x10" you'll probably not notice these issues.

In all other respects, however, the camera performs nicely and shows the progress expected of the intervening years. Speed of operation is good, display very visible in daylight and image stabilization allows one to handhold very slow shutter speeds. Barrel distortion is noticeably lower and CA and purple fringing are better controlled. Flash power is good but recycle times are slow, as is the continuous shooting rate.

Given the information available at the time of purchase, Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Camera seemed this camera was clearly a good choice (dpreview, NYTimes). Furthermore, Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Camera satisfied specific constraints of the person I was giving Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Camera to: small size, large and easily visible screen, wide angle lens.
Great! Digital Camera. This is a great Digital Camera and Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Camera is very user friendly. I love the image stabilizer. I receive alot of compliments on the pictures that I take. I would not think twice about getting this camera. I have used Canon camera's for a few years now and have not had any major problems with their products. I would recommend this camera to anyone. Amazon has the best price for this camera, so I would recommend searching products through amazon first.
Great pocket camera. I know a fair amount about cameras. I have large expensice cameras and have carried a Canon powershot sd550  7.1 megapixel which is older and took great photos. Have enlarged many of the photos from the sd550 and they look great. I dont really want to carry the larger camera because of the great quality with the smaller cameras and the ease of their use. I wanted the wider lens on the sd 880. Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Camera is great! better than the 550 since the wider lens is good for outdoors and architecture photos.Great movies also. Got the 4gig sdhc card from amazon for like $18 which was a deal. I was looking at the sd990 which is over 14 megapixels bout Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP Camera does not have the wide lens. This none is great.

SD1100IS Canon 8MP PowerShot beta

Great purchase. I give all the credit to my wife for finding this camera.  I needed a new camera and she came to my rescue!  All I wanted was something easy to use and compact.  Well, to my surprise I got the PowerShot SD1100IS and Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP is great!  More pixels than I need, yet a perfect size for travel.  My boss has the SD1000 and he loves his camera...but definitely took interest in mine.  I have a 4GB card, very necessary for a frequent snapshot like myself.  All in all, the size was right and the pictures are great.  Perfect for a high-time traveler like myself.
Simple Camera...Excellent Pics. I have not bought a camera in over 20 years.  Disposables and some cheap hand-me-down digitals got me by.  But I finally decided to take the plunge.  Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP camera is amazing.  Perfect size.  Completely idiot proof.  Fantastic pictures.  I am not a professional so those with more experience with photography may have issues.  But for me, or anyone that wants an easy, high quality camera that takes excellent pictures, Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP is your camera!
great camera and printer. My sister really love the camera and printer. The printer prints very quick and canon camera's are great. I enjoy  Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP .

PowerShot Canon SD790IS 10MP beta

 Perfect upgrade. I went with the Canon SD790 after I dropped my other digital camera on its protruding lens, thus rendering Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP useless. After using the SD790 for a while, my accident feels like a godsend.

This camera is speedy making spontaneous moments easy to capture. And all those memories will look great too, the image quality is unmatched by any other digicam I've ever owned. It's 10.0 megapixels, but I typically shoot in 6.0 megapixels and these photos look much better than my previous 6.0 megapixel camera.

Battery life is superb. I took almost two-hundred pictures and the battery was still mostly charged. All the different scene modes are very appreciated, but some of them I doubt I will ever use (i.e., fireworks, underwater).

Not to mention that this is one of the sexiest gadgets I currently own. I would highly recommend the Canon SD790IS.
Excellent. I was always a Sony person and never like the look and feel of Canon. But the end result of this camera are far better then any Sony Camera I have ever used. Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP may not have the touch screen feature just like some new Sony Cameras but pictures taken from this camera are just awesome......
Very nice pictures. Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP may end up with 5 stars as we are just learning to us the features ( Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP has many)

PowerShot 10MP Canon SD880IS ok or not

met my expectations and more. I owned an early canon digital and was interested in updating. After doing a lot of research, I settled on another canon. I was looking for wide angle, image stabilization and shooting speed. The SD880 did Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP all as well as provide a wonderful viewfinder. So far,after a month, I totally satisfied with the camera.
Great small camera. Overall quality of this camera is really good. But I do not really like the colors of the pictures when Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP uses the flash. I previously owned an IXUS 750, and Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP was much better with the flash.
Maybe there is something I can do with the white balance, but default settings are not perfect.

Worst Canon Camera EVER!!. I barely used my canon in the 2 months that I owned it. Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP worked fine for the 2 months Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP was used. However,the pictures were not very crisp. I went to use my camera at an indoor party and Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP would not focus. I thought maybe Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP was the lighting. I tried Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP when I got home and Canon PowerShot SD880IS 10MP still would not focus. Best Buy refunded my money and now I am researching cameras once again. I would definitely keep looking!!!

Garmin Zumo 550 suck

should last longer than 3 weeks. I was very happy with unit until a cool fall day and I wanted to ride. Guess what? Garmin Zumo 550 won't turn on. For 652.00 Garmin Zumo 550 should last longer than three weeks. I am sure by the time I send Garmin Zumo 550 in and get Garmin Zumo 550 repaired or replaced I will not have Garmin Zumo 550 for fall riding. Great Bike GPS. I stewed over this for about a year. Researched TomTom Rider and Zumo from their release forward. Read reviews, found a place to see one in person. Set web price watch flags. Then had a price flag for the Zumo on Amazon and a gift refund from Amazon and couldn't hold off any longer. I hope you don't have to put yourself through this anticipation and am writing to re-assure you that this is a cool device. Works well on my motorcyle integrating in with the dash as I mounted Garmin Zumo 550 on the left handle bar of my Yamaha FJR-1300 sport touring bike. At that level the screen is a perfect size, bright enough to be seen in daylight with shades on, and doesn't block any of my instruments. The bracket is very secure and the added screw security pin is reassuring. The controls are easy enough to use through gloves. The movement is clear and smooth and all of the funtionality as described by others is perfect for a motorcycle. The Blue-tooth worked great with my Scala Rider TeamSet pair of headsets, allowing both the rider and passenger to converse and hear the Zumo (directions, MP3, phone, etc.) Took Garmin Zumo 550 on my next business trip and forgot to cancel the Hertz Neverlost that I always order. Put Garmin Zumo 550 on the windshield clip and watched them work at the same time... Zumo is a better car GPS too. I have a GPS in my two cars built in (Jaguar & Toyota). Really other than screen size there is no real difference in response. And the Zumo has the flexibility of downloading your track (like breadcrumbs) to your PC, or letting you create a route on the PC (even see Garmin Zumo 550 on Google Earth) and upload Garmin Zumo 550 to the Zumo. I can see people posting the data files for their favorite twisty trails online soon! Haven't found anything that isn't great. Absolutely no buyer's remorse. And as always the interaction with Amazon and the Premium shipping subcription gets things to my door before I expect them. If you have the $$ this is a great toy to add to your toy! Zumo is the way to go!. I have owned this device for almost two months now, and find Garmin Zumo 550 to be a very well made product. Adding an 8 GB SD card makes Garmin Zumo 550 the only music player that I need for the motorcycle and the car. It's a damned fine GPS too. As usual, the mapping products supplied by Garmin leave a little to be desired, since there have been a few roads I've travelled that weren't in the maps (on four year old roads). But overall, anyone should be very happy purchasing this unit.
