Canon A530

Consumers who are seeking an affordable yet high quality digital camera will quickly find the Canon Powershot A530 as a favorite camera. Basically, the camera has impressive specs in an affordable package. The Canon A530 is impressive for its ease of use, power and its high performance.

Comes in a small two tone grey/silver housing, the Canon A530 is a compact digital camera that will easily fit in a pocket or purse. It measures 90 x 64 x 43 mm (3.5 x 2.5 x 1.7 in) and weighs about 220 g (7.8 oz).

The Canon A530 has a 5 megapixel resolution with 4x optical zoom lens. As a point and shoot digital camera, the A530 is equipped with many powerful features that allow users to produce high quality pictures.

An ISO 800 setting is one of the most impressive features packed with the Canon A530. The camera shake can be reduced by the help of this high ISO 800. It also helps sharpen the focus of the subject during low light situations.

Another good feature is the DIGI II image processor. The processor makes it possible for the improvement of speed and image quality. It also improves the autofocus feature.

The Powershot A530 is equipped with a built in flash and an auto flash. The regular feature like red eye reduction is also provided.

A 1.8 inch LCD screen and an optical viewfinder are provided to line up your shot. There are few users who expect a bigger screen for previewing their pictures. In my opinion, this may become the drawback in this camera.

Lastly, the Canon A530 digital camera offers much better picture quality than most cameras in its price range (about $200). It’s a quality, responsive camera excellent for your travel.
