      Canon PowerShot A530

      By Brad Soo

      Review summary: The Canon PowerShot A530 has 5 megapixels, a 1.8 inch LCD and a 4X zoom lens it shares with the cameras above. This camera may be distinguished from the higher-end A540 in several ways, but is image quality one of those points? Let's find out more ...

      Pros: Nice 4x zoom lens ; Good (not excellent) battery life ; Full manual mode ; Unlimited, fast continuous shooting ; Fast performance ; Produces good photos, low noise till ISO 400; ISO 800 useable for small prints ; Affordable

      Cons: Small LCD with low resolution ; No priority modes; incompatible with conversion lenses ; Overall performance could be faster and better; especially autofocus ; Mediocre movie mode

      Verdict: I'll make this short and simple, the A530 is a watered down A540 which sells at a lower price. Things like battery life and image quality are still good and the full manual mode is a plus. Performance was snappy too.
