      Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera Pro Review

      By Loren Crannell

      Review summary: I have been impressed with Canon's digital camera quality for some time. Two years ago I took a Canon G3 on a trip to Paris. And I use Canon digital SLRs for my professional photography work. The Canon PowerShot A520 is the first Canon consumer point ...

      Pros: Lightweight and compact, Manual controls, Readily available AA batteries, Anti-shake technology

      Cons: No ISO info in EXIF data, Shutter lag very noticeable, Monitor is small compared to comparable cameras, Noise at higher ISO settings, Plastic body

      Cons: Mediocre movie mode ; High noise levels ; So-so LCD performance ; Slow for 2005 cameras

      Verdict: The Canon PowerShot A510 and A520 have both full manual controls and are very affordable. Despite a new 4x optical zoom lens and the ability to take overall great photos, the A510 and A520 both still lack something. If you read about the release of ...
