Canon PowerShot A640 Digital Camera

Pros: 10 megapixels, 4X optical zoom, full manual controls, and AA batteries
Cons: Some minor chromatic aberration (purple fringing) and very high noise levels at ISO 800

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 ...

Pros: High resolution, sharp photos with pleasing colors, features, battery life, LCD, AA batteries
Cons: Slightly flimsy construction, ISO 400-800 noisy, price a bit too high

A replacement for the last year’s 7 .1-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A620, the Canon PowerShot A640 has upgraded 10-Megapixel resolution, larger LCD screen and other improvements. As a top of the Canon A6-line, I wanted ...

Pros: LCD, price, Scene mode, durability, photo quality
Cons: Very few aperture choices, smudgy LCD

I owned a Canon Powershot A520 for almost two years, and I was getting really sick of it. I mean, it's a great little point-and-shoot camera, but my needs had outgrown the camera. And my particular camera had been used so much over its lifespan that the ...

Pros: Easy to use, extremely high quality pictures, sturdy construction, fair price
Cons: Slightly too bulky for a pocket camera

The Canon PowerShot A640 10 mega pixel digital camera may be the best choice in its class. For the price, durability, ease of use and most importantly quality of the pictures. This camera is truly hard to beat. There are other more technically ...

Pros: High quality image, low noise, Lot's of Pixels, and an excellent macro capability.
Cons: No big disadvantages, the optical viewfinder is small, and there is no image stabilization.

I purchased this camera in October 2006, primarily for it's point and shoot capabilities. My Canon 5D is an excellent camera, but on daily early morning walks with the dog in the Arizona desert, it is too heavy. Occasionally, a good photo opportunity ...

Pros: High quality pictures, good features and customization
Cons: Flash burn out, no stabilization, bulky

I got this camera as a replacement to my fujifilm 4.1 megapixel that I dropped in some awesome sand at the beach, which caused my lense to not be able to come out at all. Best choice I have ever made. PROS: I love taking pictures, and I love editing ...

Pros: Flip view-finder, very durable, gorgeous 10mp photos, great videos
Cons: None

I LOVE IT:I bought my Canon PowerShot A640 digital camera because I wanted an upgrade from my few year old Kodak 7mp camera.  After reading reviews and doing some research, I made the decision to purchase it.  Which was a big deal, having ...

Pros: megapixels, features, picture and lens quality, turn around screen
Cons: Size, price, no image stabilization

I love this camera. After having the same digital camera for 6 years that sported one mega pixel, it was time for an upgrade. I shopped around and settled on this camera. It was actually smaller than my previous camera but has 10 megapixels. This is a ...

Pros: long battery life, crystal clear photos, large swivel viewing screen
Cons: Does not have motion stability.

First let me say I am not a professional photographer but I am able to take some professional looking photos with the Canon A640. I do not know everything there is to know about photography- I am learning as I play with my A640. I love the large ...

Pros: like a small slr digital
Cons: You have to work this camera, this is more then just a point and shoot

The canon processing is very good. This camera is a very very good alternative to dslr camera. Its like a mini dslr without the powerful sensor. Before I say its the best camera in this category, there are some drawbacks that must be understood before ...

Pros: Battery life, power on speed (first shot readiness), rotating LCD screen
Cons: only comes with 32MB SD card

This camera replaced my old Canon PowerShot Digital Elph 2.1 mp camera. Of course, anything I could buy today would be better than my old camera. After doing some research and comparing sample images from a few cameras, I chose this to be the best choice ...

Pros: Screen Flips 180
Camera Video & Image Editing
Large Memory Card
Camera > Computer, Computer >Camera Capabilities
Cons: Wastes Power
Cheap Batteries are Useless
Bulky,
Heavy in weight for a digital

While using this product it worked very well, Ive had most all types of cameras FujiFilm, cannon, etc. But by far this was the best. With multiple zooms, memory card that hold 140 pictures, video editing on the camera. It is a great tool for traveling. ...

Pros: 10 megapixels, large 2.5 inch screen, price!
Cons: Size.

I run an information website and needed a camera with at least 10 MP's and manual settings for taking pictures of hotels and beach locations. After a lot of research I chose the A640 and could not be happier with the results. I, however, find it too bulky to take it bar hoping with so I will probably be getting a smaller, cheaper one for that purpose. Moral of the story: buy this camera if you plan to do a lot of your shooting in situations where you will be carrying a bag pack or computer bag.

Pros: Easy to use, lightweight, plenty of great features.
Cons: If there are any, I'd say it's heavier than I'd like.

I bought the A640 a couple of months ago (on ebay); my first digital camera. As a die hard SLR fan, I was a little uneasy about going to digital. This camera was a great find! It's easy to use,lightweight, but has all the features I need. In fact, I just got back my vacation pictures and they're the best I've ever taken. Crisp, clear and vibrant. I'd recommend this camera to anyone looking to go digital or just wanting a great camera.
