Canon - PowerShot A410 Digital Camera Review

I have had much experience with Canon digital cameras. Most of my experiences have been positive with them. The recently released Canon Powershot A410 combines all the positive aspects of Canon digital cameras into a well-rounded product. 3.2 megapixels is enough for any average photographer. The best thing in my opinion is the 3.2 optical zoom. Many times you don't find an optical zoom on cameras in this price range. Optical zoom is important because it allows for more clear and precise zooming as opposed to digital zoom. If you want a small camera, the size of the Canon Powershot A410 is perfect. Small enough to fit into your pocket, but not too small where the buttons become a pain to operate. The only downside to a small camera is the size of the LCD screen. However, the LCD on this camera is easy to view even in the glare of the sunlight. A bonus for a camera at this price level is the movie recording option. This is a great extra that will allow you to capture little video clips of any moment. Canon software as usual is simple and straightforward. If you want heavy duty photo editing software, you'll have to pay for something. Overall, you're getting a brand name product, an all-around excellent camera, and you won't have to lose to much money when you buy it. You should exam the specifications of this camera and compare to other cameras in the same price range.
