Canon PowerShot A520 user reviews

Stuart Owen 7 January 2006

Good: The camera's adaptability for nearly any eventuality make this multi-function camera a steel at this price

Bad: Not all functions work brilliantly; red eye reduction is poor, no warning when battery is going to run out, doesn't come with a case as standard

Comment: I wanted a multi function camera, which is why I bought the Canon Powershit A520. There are cheaper cameras, for £50 less, with more mega pixels, but none have the functionality of this camera. As an amateur photographer on a budget I especially liked the Super Macro, Landscape Sitch Assist & Sepia/B&W functions.
For indoor photos the extra bright flash offers very clear crisp images, but without it a lot of pictures appeared blurred.
This minor moan aside this is a great buy with lots of functions at a very reasonable price.
