Canon - PowerShot A530 Digital Camera Review

We have had this camera for about 3 years and have gotten lots of great use out of it and am so glad that we have it.  I will continue to use it until it dies or until we have the money to buy a newer more advanced camera.

As we all know technology changes so quickly and advances so quickly that what we paid $200 for 3 years ago is now old/obsolete.

This camera is very easy to use.  Just point and shoot.

My biggest complaint is that sometimes when you push the button to take the picture the camera is so slow that buy the time it takes the picture you may have missed that great smile or action event that you wanted to capture.  Other peoples cameras are much faster and seem to capture the moment.

Another feature that I absolutely love is the ability to take video of 3 minutes.  My 15 month old son often does things that I want to get on film and this keeps me from having to pull out a bulky camcorder as that would take a while and then chances are I would miss whatever he was doing.  Love the video feature.

This is also very easy to use when transfering pictures from the camera to your computer.
