This camera is really a bad one from the canon.
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

This camera is everything that is is advertised to be. Any one who has used a digital camera before will appreciate its ease of use.

I stepped up to this model from a PowerShot A70, and was pleased to find that basic operation was pretty much the same as the A70, allowing me to get up to speed with it in a very short time. In size, the A630 is even larger than the A70, but that's not a drawback for me as it still fits conveniently in my pocket. It uses four AAs, like the A70, and its hefty feel adds camera stability when longer shutter times are called for. The 8 mega pixel images are a vast improvement over the A70's 3.2 mega pixels, with incredibly precise resolution possible, especially in well lighted images. These images run between 5 and 6 megs each, but the 1 gigabyte data card I bought with it still holds over 200 of them (or many hundreds of smaller pictures), so that's not a problem either. I like the option of complete manual operation, but also appreciate being able to take lots of fast snapshots on auto with some expectation of getting usable pictures. The flash is stronger than the A70's, so I'm looking forward to using it underground on caving trips. Redeye is still a problem, even with the redeye reduction pre-flash. I'm getting better at PhotoShopping it out. One thing I really like is the fact that this camera will do its thing the instant you press the shutter button, like an SLR, so if you're trying to put a speeding diesel locomotive right in the center of the frame, you don't have to lead your target or compensate for any time lag. One of the best features of this model is its pricepoint - amazingly low for what you get. I say, if you don't mind its size, go for it.

The title really says it all. This was a gift for my 14 year old daughter for her birthday and I bought it because of the beautiful pictures our old Canon still takes. It is simple to use and has all the features that makes life easy for my girl. Now to try and find a way to have her stop posting so many pictures on the web.

I guess that this camera does the most important thing well. The images that it produces are very good. I wouldn't have expected less from Canon.
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.
Edited 2-14-07.
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.

This is an excellent camera. It was my first camera, and I loved its feel, features, and functionality.
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).

I haven't even had a chance to download my photos from my new PowerShot, so no comment on its performance. But I must say that I didn't realize that the camera would be so big and heavy. It's so difficult to tell online. I had a Canon SureShort before this and just expected it to be about the same. WRONG! This is as heavy as my new camcorder and almost the same size. No more slipping it into my purse. Beware!

I have always loved Canon camera's and I decided I wanted to take up photography as a hobby. Instead of spending £500 on an SLR I bought this camera as it is the closest camera on the market to an SLR without having to shed out loads of money. It has a great set of functions/features/modes but also has the auto mode for when you want to be lazy and just take some easy pictures. It fits quite nicely into my pocket although its not one for nights out unless you have a bag to put it in.
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.

I received this as a gift from my mother when my Panasonic Lumix was dropped in the sand and stopped working. She wanted pics of the grandkids and was tired of me using the broken camera excuse. I have now used it at my daughters gymnastics meet and outdoors at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas. The indoor pictures using zoom were all throw aways. Not a single shot came in focus. The lighting was typical gymnasium light, very bright. I tried shooting on about 5 different settings with and without flash.
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.

Ok I am being harsh on this one since of all the cameras I have ever owned this is the most disapointing.
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.

I just wanted an easy to use point and shoot camera that didn't cost alot.
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.

Product arrived with a pixel stuck red. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I went to the desert and took some pictures of cloud formations and it was past return policy. Sent in for repair. They replaced the sensor and it came back with a different pixel stuck blue. Sent in again, the exact same pixel still stuck blue. Broken from factory, 2 repairs, and still have not taken a picture that does not have defects. I called Canon to get a remedy and I will apparently be just sending it back in and hoping the third attempt at repair will work while the other attempts did not. I would not recommend buying this unless you want to photoshop pixels out of your photos and deal with some guy from Canon who insists he does not have a Supervisor.

OK... really sick of paying more money these days for QUALITY products, and they stink out on me less than one year. This camera has begun failing me last week, which would make it 7-8 mos old. Now I have to dig up my receipt and warranty. (thankfully after my last purchase of a $400 Nikon) I have learned my lesson in keeping receipts and boxes. Anyhow, my problem with the camera is that no matter what battery I put in it now, it is constantly showing LOW BATTERY and it just shuts off. Was very disappointed after taking this on a trip, i will never be able to get some shots I really wanted to get. Other than this problem now, I find the lighting on the camera to only be so-so. To be honest, I don't remember the Nikon I had, but that was an excellent camera for pics. Canon A530 is not great for the avid Ebayer either. Was only good for general purpose pictures. Save your money and stick with Sony or Minolta. Never has failed me. Guess I have to dig my old Minolta that requires actual film out again now. I'm sure this warranty process will take months. **UPDATED: I finally FOUND the best camera! Don't waste your money on this Canon, get the Sony Cyber-shot W55 model! Takes excellent pictures. I never have to edit my pictures anymore YAY! And takes great shots in the dark/evening. Please see my review for this camera.

I bought this camera for the simple reason that it was so small and can capture video to flash memory. The packaging is rock solid and you can tell the build quality is very good. I don't have any use for taking digital pics with this unit and the reviews are correct.. It lacks in that dept but is ok if your expectations are low. This camera takes great video but the auto focus is very slow and in most cases you have to hold the camera very still to get a good video shot. Also, if your in anything less than bright sunlight you will have noisy/grainy video. The zoom feature is also very very slow but it will reach out there. One more thing worth mentioning. If you buying this camera to upload videos to you pc like me make sure you have the horsepower to play them. The files are massive and if your trying to display on a high def monitor you might need a dedicated video card with min 256MB ram.
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...

Bought this for my 15 yo son for X-mas. All seemed well (he was very happy!) until we took a cruise on New Years Day. Three days into the trip (the 1st time her really got to use the camera) the telescoping lens would get jammed up and not retrack/extend. It has done this off and on since that time. We have always been able to get it to work with a little elbow grease. But it is something that should be mentioned. Otherwise he has been very happy with it.

We've been using this camera for months now and liked it fine for the usual family snapshots and typical vacation scenery shots. Ten days ago, I had a whim to get some flower photos.
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.

Unfortunately, this camera went through batteries so quickly it wasn't usable. We used freshly charged rechargeable batteries (the same ones we use in another Canon camera) and took under 10 pictures, then a few days later we tried to use it and got a low battery indicator. We tried several other sets of batteries - brand-new alkalines as well as freshly charged rechargeables - and each time we'd only get around a half-dozen or so pictures before the low battery indicator came on. We returned the camera.
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!

<----begin sillyness---->
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!
<----end sillyness---->
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.
