Pocket sized, weighing in at less than a pound, and carrying a $299 price tag, the Canon PowerShot A-10 is to $600 and up digital cameras what the fully automatic point and shoot compact 35 mm cameras are to more expensive and capable 35 mm SLRs. It's ...

I recieved the crappy Kodak Digital Camera and Printer kit for christmas a couple of years ago. They didn't work out and my old Vivital Digital Camera was in need of replacing. So I sold the old digital camera and took the crappy Kodak kit back to Walmar ...

Pros: low price, great optics, ease of use, compatability
Cons: red eye, battery consumption

I bought this camera for my girlfriend to give her an entry into photography, but since we've had this little machine, it has supplanted all our other cameras, including my bag full of Nikons, a 2 megapixel Olympus with a 10x zoom, and even our Digital...

Pros: Optical and digital zoom. Lots of features. Great customer support.
Cons: Uses batteries fast. Doesn't come with AC adapter.

WHY I BOUGHT AN A10

I recently pooled some birthday and Christmas money together to buy myself a digital camera. I wanted optical zoom and lots of photo taking options but I didn't want to spend over 500. I wanted decent quality but...

Pros: Inexpensive with loads of options
Cons: No video mode

This camera is perfect for anyone who wants to break into the digital world of photos but doesn't want the low quality pictures that other cameras produce. The Canon Powershot A10 produces excellent picture quality with easy to use functions. The price...

Pros: Fast, competent, fully featured, quality results, excellent value for money, extensible.
Cons: No AC adapter, only left/right cursor, no video out.

I have an original ixus (what a cool camera) and a Minolta 7000i (oldie but goodie) and a Sony PC1 so I thought I had the field covered between quality and convenience in my photography. However, recently I'd find myself at events or on holiday and...

Pros: Affordable, compact, detailed LCD screen
Cons: Viewfinder, occasional focus problems

A Dose of Perspective
Three years ago my employer purchased the Olympus D-620L digital camera. At the time it was the best $1100.00 could buy with its 1.4 megapixels, 3x zoom and maximum 16MB Smart Media capacity. It amazes me to consider...

Pros: great features, low price.
Cons: no a/c adapter, should come with a neck strap instead of wrist strap.

This is my first digital camera.

What sold me was the features. I liked the fact that the camera uses regular AA batteries, not a pricey proprietary battery like some cameras do. So in a pinch you can find batteries anywhere.

You...

Pros: Inexpensive, great features, long battery life, and excellent quality photos.
Cons: The way the single-photo-delete feature works, I've accidentally erased good pictures.

I searched for months to find the best quality camera I could at a reasonable price. I take a lot of pictures of family and friends, upload a lot of them to the web, print some on my printer, and have a few professionally developed. But I'm not a photo...

Pros: Low price with good features. Hard to beat in it's class-price range
Cons: 1.3 mp camera. Best with manual override for Low light. Software weak.

I looked over all cameras and reviews in the 1.3-2mp with Zoom lens. What I came up with for the money was this camera. Note: With digital camera technology changing very rapidly I chose not to spent more at this time for a digital camera.
At...

Pros: 3x Optical zoom for under $200, good picture quality
Cons: No AC adapter, cannot make movies, pictures taken indoors are poorer quality than outdoor ones

I looked around for about a week once I decided to get a digital camera. For under $200 dollars, it seemed I was limited to around one mega pixel. The A10 caught my eye because it has an Optical Zoom. Many cameras have Digital Zoom which simply...

Pros: Easy to use. Excellent image quality. Sharp looking camera.
Cons: Poor battery life.

Easy to use. Excellent image quality. Sharp looking camera. This is my first digital camera. I researched my selection thoroughly and finally decided on this particular camera because it was the least expensive camera that had an optical zoom in addition...

Pros: Great features for a great price; easy to hold and lightweight.
Cons: Can go through batteries quickly, should have a larger CompactFlash card

I waited to buy a digital camera until I could get one that would have a great price, and wonderful features to go with it. This is it!

This camera has alot of the automatic features you will want to have for the novice, and quite a few...

Pros: Lots of options, great picture quality

Pros: Get pictures
Cons: Not to cheap

Pros: Easy to use, well built and reliable.
Cons: Battery life!!

July 2006: I have used an A10 since they first came out and it has been a totally reliable little "Point and Shoot". The amount of zoom is poor by today's standards and it eats batteries ( use rechargables and carry a spare set!! ) but the results are very good for a camera of this type. Ease of use makes it suitable for all ages. Build quality gives it a solid feel in the hand.

Pros: Small, user-friendly, high quality pix
Cons: Batteries die too quickly, time between flash pictures sometimes is too long

Last Christmas when hubby asked what I'd like for a gift, I told him to find me a decent digital camera. He's the "techie" of the household so I trusted him to do the homework and research and come up with the right choice. I told him it needed to be user-friendly, not overly expensive, and capable of taking QUALITY pictures. He purchased the Canon PowerShot A10, and I'm very glad he did. Even though it has lots of features and options that I don't even use, it's nice to know they're there if I choose to learn. And if all I want to do is the basic "aim, snap, and view" I'm doing it with a great camera and getting very high-quality photos from it. I use a lot of my pictures as screen savers and computer wallpaper and co-workers are always amazed at the clarity and resolution of my photos. I would highly recommend this as a "first time" digital camera, and even to those who have had others. It will probably do all you want it to, but is still simple enough for the beginner.

Fine snapshot camera, exc. color and excellent print quality with a good printer up to 5x7's. Take a look at CR's latest dig. camera tests--this is the only 1 megapixel camera that rated "excellent" for print quality. I got mine delivered for less than $200. My only disappointments come from being used to more control over exposure, focus, and focal length--this isn't a replacement for an SLR.
