## Description

From the Manufacturer Canon's new compact 3.2-megapixel PowerShot A510 digital camera with a powerful 4x optical zoom provides you with a comfortable introduction to the fun and freedom of digital photography. Named for their use of AA batteries, Canon's A-series digital cameras offer easy-to-use, high quality features to consumers looking to capture, save, and share meaningful memories, personal milestones and family functions. The next generation PowerShot A510 digital camera is 13 percent smaller and 10 percent lighter than its predecessor, yet it is equipped with a longer 4.0x 35-140mm (35mm format equivalent) optical zoom lens with Canon optics for sharp images. The new lens features all-glass construction and two aspherical elements in a seven-element formula. In order to make the camera smaller, Canon engineered the new PowerShot A510 model to accept SD media. Even with its small size, the camera sports a large 1.8-inch LCD screen for easy preview and review. It also includes Canon's exclusive DIGIC image processor for faster processing speed and excellent image quality with crisp, vibrant colors. The PowerShot A510 digital camera requires only two AA batteries, while providing the same number of shots (300 with LCD screen on) as previous models that used four batteries, thanks to reductions in power consumption made possible by improvements in key components and circuit design. Like its A75 predecessor, the PowerShot A510 digital camera is equipped with a nine-point AiAF "smart" autofocus system and 13 shooting modes. The standard shooting modes are Full Auto, Program, Manual, Shutter-priority, and Aperture-priority with additional modes including Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Fast Shutter, Slow Shutter, Special Scene, Stitch Assist, and Movie. The Special Scene mode, which makes it easy for beginners to achieve optimum results in many popular photo opportunities, has been enhanced with the addition of two new settings called Night Snapshot and Kids and Pets. The PowerShot A510 digital camera is also capable of recording movies with sound for up to three minutes per clip, making it perfect for capturing memories in motion. The new camera's grip is ergonomically improved, and the control layout is even easier to use than before. Other camera functions including self-timer and review have also been enhanced for greater creative flexibility.The DIGIC Difference Image quality is enhanced and improved as a result of Canon's proprietary DIGIC (Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) image processor. DIGIC combines the roles of image processing and camera function control into one chip, resulting in faster display and write times for each image and lower power consumption, which extends battery life. Moreover, because DIGIC technology was designed specifically for use in digital cameras it is also capable of handling JPEG compression and expansion, memory card control, LCD/video control and processing gain control (control of CCD signal amplification), autoexposure, autofocus, auto white balance control, and most other functions.Print/Share Button Located on the backside of the PowerShot A510 digital camera is the Print/Share button. This button simplifies and accelerates direct printing to compatible Canon and PictBridge-enabled printers and one-touch image transfer to Windows XP, Me, 2000, and 98 computers for use with image processing programs, uploading to the Internet, or as e-mail attachments. When the camera is connected to a compatible printer or computer, the Print/Share button illuminates to let the user know to press the Print/Share button to begin the printing or downloading process.Optional Accessories In addition to its rich feature set, the PowerShot A510 digital camera is compatible with a wide variety of optional accessories including supplementary wide-angle (WC-DC52), telephoto (TC-DC52A) and close-up lenses (52mm Close-up Lens 250D). These accessories enhance the new camera's versatility and make it easier to use in specialized applications such as real estate and insurance photography. A waterproof case WP-DC60 is also available and can be used at depths up to 130 feet. The combination of the A510 digital camera with the WP-DC60 housing is great for family vacations at the beach, while skiing, or simply to protect the camera from the elements.What's in the Box: The PowerShot A510 digital camera kit includes Interface Cable IFC-400PCU, AV Cable AVC-DC300, Wrist Strap WS-200, SD MultiMediaCard MMC-16M and two AA-size Alkaline batteries as well as Canon Digital Camera Solution Disc Version 22, featuring the latest versions of Canons powerful software and ArcSoft PhotoStudio.

Review: My First Digital Camera - If you are looking to buy your first digital camera at a good price, buy this one. The Quick Start Guide is very easy to read and got me up and running immediately. In less than 15 minutes I was able to load the batteries, insert the memory card, turn the camera on, set the date and time, take my first picture, load the software onto my computer from the CD, download the image to my computer, and finally e-mail it to a friend. Documentation that is included in the box: - Quick Start Guide (2-sided, poster size, step-by-step pictorial) - Camera User Guide (160 pages, pocket-size) - Direct Print User Guide (49 pages, pocket size) - Software Starter Guide (102 pages, larger pocket size) - System Map (2-sided, A4 size, diagrams how all the accessories fit together) - Warranty Card (postcard) - "For Windows® XP and Mac OS X Users" Leaflet (2-sided) - "Canon Customer Support" Leaflet (2-sided) Two accessories you should definitely buy are a larger memory/SD card and NiMH batteries with a battery charger. The 16 MB card that comes in the box does not hold many images. (I want to purchase a 256 SD Card, but the documentation does not specify how many recordable images it would hold.) Also, you will save money and trips to the store in the long run by using rechargeable batteries. As someone who has been using a six year-old 35 mm camera, I am writing this as a novice user without the ability to compare other digital cameras. However, at this price and with 3.2-megapixels, I am happy to finally get away from my 35 mm camera.
Review: Go ahead and buy it - I just wanted a digital camera. Nothing too complex, but with enough features that once I got used to it, I could branch out to new things. I shopped & shopped. Looked at about 100 or cameras online, read a ton of reviews, and asked friends who had cameras, and finally figured out want I wanted: Point & shoot - a camera with which I could take basic family photos. 3+ megapixels - enough to get great resolution up to 8 X 10 prints, without having to pay a ton of money. Features - but not so many options that I would have to take a class to figure it all out. Hand friendly - small enough to carry along anywhere, but big enough that I didn't feel like a giant trying to operate tiny little controls. Well, this camera was absolutely perfect. I took my first picture approximately 5 min. after opening the box. Literally put in the batteries and memory card, turned on the power, and hit the shutter. My first attempt at downloading photos to my computer would have been flawless if I had ony remembered to actually turn the camera on. (pesky little details) The pictures are the best I have ever taken, were incredibly easy to take, and I haven't even begun to explore the possibilities. For the price, which was phenomenal, I am more than pleased. And I didn't have to hang around Best Buy for hours waiting on some teenager with angst. Double bonus!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Sloooow. No good for kids photos.
*by J***T on January 6, 2006*

Did extensive research before we bought this camera, so surprised and disappointed. Might be OK for static subjects, but we bought to take photos of our kids, and this is just no good for that. The shutter lag is interminable, and thus we never get the shot we want, even when set at the kids and pets setting. We put a rubber band around our old Nikon Coopix 1000 and are using that again. Much quicker. Who needs all those pixels for snapshots unless you're printing large photos. With the 1 megapixel you get thousands of photos on a small memory card, and the photos send much quicker via email/web. If you're shooting kids, don't waste your money - save up until you're ready to spend enough to get a camera with no shutter lag -- and be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars on memory cards.
