I have bought other canon cameras those were excellent but this particular camera frustrated me as it costs me my attention, time and money for nothing




However, given how much digital technology supposedly has progressed over the past 3 years, I'm somewhat disappointed.
Let me explain. First off, the A540 is a replacement for a Canon A70 that finally died after 3 years. Unfortunately for me, I learned that Canon was replacing non-functioning LCD screens due to a known product defect. I only found this out after I tossed the A70 into the trash. I think that the least Canon should have done was to send an email notice to its registered A70 owners.
On the subject of LCD screens, the screen on the A540 is very low in resolution. Like most screens, it's hard to see in bright light. However, even under dimmer light the image is quite grainy. Fortunately, Canon is one of the few manufacturers that still provides an optical viewfinder on some of its cameras.
By far the worst problem with this camera is battery life. Compared to the A70 (with it's supposed older technolgy)battery life is very poor.
I use the same NIMH batteries that I used in the A70 but don't get anywhere near the performance. Granted, the A70 took 4 batteries while the A540 takes only 2, but I would gladly have put up with the weight of the two additional AA's to get the same performance that I got with the A70.
For what I intend to use it for, the A540 will serve the purpose, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'd instead suggest the slightly higher-priced A620 which takes 4 batteries and has a higher resolution LCD screen. It's what I would have bought if anyone had it in stock.

I finally gave up on this camera and sold it. Battery life is simply ridiculous. Spending as much time changing batteries as shooting just doesn't make sense to me.
I will be replacing this camera and it may even be with another Canon. If it is, it will NOT be a model with only 2 AA batteries.
This was a very disappointing experience as I had expected more from Canon after my good experience with the A70.

I do have to admit, this little thing was what got me motivated to get into photography as a hobby, so after a half-year, I jumped up to the more expensive but higher-quality DSLR range. For those who want to take photography seriously, this is the perfect camera to start off on. Or, for those who want a simple point-and-shooter that packs a lot of punch, this camera succeeds there as well.
Some other thoughts:
- Battery life was stellar, even on cheap alkalines
- Zoom was very decent (4X), but don't use the digital zoom
- My Colors modes were nice, but remember that they're permanant
(a picture taken in black and white will always be black and white)
- Tripod mount was plastic, but for the little tripod work I've done,
I didn't seem to mind or notice.
- The lens motor isn't very loud, which is a good thing.
- The little "beeps" and shutter sounds can be customized or muted.
- Don't buy accessories for this, they're not worth the extra $.
If you ever outgrow the camera, save up and look into getting
a fancy, sub-$1000 camera instead of trying to add on to this.
This camera does a great job at what it tries to do, but fails somewhat
with the add-on lenses (that require a hood and distort quality),
filters, etc.
Overall, I highly recommend to all (there's a newer version out, I think.. A640 or A710; I'm not sure which is more comparable to this, as I'm not sure what the feature changes in the A700 line are.). However, if you're taking photography more seriously and have some experience, then by all means save up and go with a DSLR instead (or buy this as a back-up camera).


The quality is amazing, I've got some great snaps using auto mode and played around with various other modes to get some really amazing shots.
It doesn't include Image Stabalization but with the 4x optical zoom I've not found this to be too much of a problem. If you're really interested in taking those types of shots where you would require this then get yourself a Tripod.
Overall this is a great camera at an amazing price and if you're like me and are thinking about taking up photography or want some pictures which aren't just from nights out but don't want an SLR just yet then this is the camera for you! It is a flexible as you want it to be! Don't hesitate to get this camera.

On to RedRocks. In some shots the sky (which was brilliant blue) came out white. In the shots where the sky turned out blue, the vibrant red rock looked over exposed.
This camera is not worth the plastic it is made from. I am going to sell it on Ebay and go back to the Lumix for my point and shoot needs.


It does do nice video and pics outdoors.
Indoors forget it. Very, very grainy video and pics.
The flash is way underpowred.
Best for use as a outdoor point and shoot camera only.
The files for the HD video are very large and fill up that hard drive fast.
Now as far as size it is very small and feels solid in your hads but because it is metal it sweets in your hand quickly!
There are many other cameras that do a much better job for about the same price or less. Look at aiptek a-hd or go-hd if you want good pics and video plus much less money. Please note: that they both have much better video and pics indoors. But the subjects will need to be somewhat still or they may blur.

The A590 is the one. It takes great photos in auto mode, it uses AA type batteries and its not so small size and shape, make it easy to hold steady. I would recommend this product to anyone.





I had to send this back only because when I saw the quality of the video it could take in bright sunlight then compared it to what I got in the house with a few lights on I was really disapointed. I'm going to pay the extra cash and try the new Sony...


After a quick look in the manual, I found it quite easy to snap some macro shots. I was astounded by the results. The beauty of the close-ups far exceeded my expectations.
Now I see the velvety texture of the petals and the shadings of color and wonderful patterns in nature. Whenever I have a few minutes, I take the camera for a walk. Who knows what I might find; a blue jay's feather, red berries on a bush, clover in an open meadow... My eye is drawn to the minute objects and details usually overlooked in the landscape. Macro photography has opened my eyes to the beauty of tiny things.
The camera is lightweight and easy to keep steady while snapping a close-up. Now I want to try out all those other buttons that I've been ignoring. Who knows what new photographic areas I may yet conquer. My macro photos are drawing rave reviews from friends and family.

The reviews here are so positive that maybe it was just a defective one, but I'm wary of buying this model again. However, based on our excellent experience with several other Canon digitals we will get another Canon - just not this one!

I got my camera delivered at work, so I sat at my desk working, thinking about getting home to crack open the box and start playing with my first new camera in 3 years. The sweat pouring on my brow.
"Sir, do you mind if I go home early?" I moused to my boss.
"Did you finish the such-n-such account?"
"Yup!", with enthusiasm.
"Have fun...."
"Thanks!" As I grabbed my coat and dashed out the door before he changed his mind, I almost ran out without the camera!

Upon opening the package, I read the manual a bit, then started up the camera and took some sample pictures. All very easy, straightforward, and the little icons on the buttons mirror the purpose of the buttons (intuitive!). Then I followed the directions to install the software for connecting the camera directly to the computer. Unfortunately, after many hours of frustration, I could not get the software installed. However the second tech support guy I talked to about the issue was very knowledgeable and explained that I needed to reinstall Windows because I was missing a required windows file. Otherwise, the camera is way better than my old Sony Cybershot 3 megapixel, but not only because of the megapixel difference. The options available are excellent (panoramic stitch, nice video quality, etc). The reason I did not give 5 stars is because it has difficulty focusing sometimes which seems to get worse when zooming in. Perhaps all digital zooms are like this, but this is easily remedied by releasing the button, turning the camera slightly, and refocusing. After the picture is in focus, turn the camera back to the subject and it's perfect!
Overall, a much better experience than the old Sony and the memory cards are cheaper.
