Product Description
The PowerShot A530 is equipped with an approximately 5.0 million camera effective pixel 1/2.5-inch Charge Coupled Device (CCD). Also, with DIGIC II, higher resolution and high-speed processing were achieved and the startup time and response time were shortened. This camera is equipped with the 4x optical zoom lens, which covers a 35mm film equivalent focal length ranging from 35 mm (Wide Angle) to 140 mm (Telephoto) and an f/2.6 (Wide Angle) - f/5.5 (Telephoto) aperture.The PowerShot A530 succeeds the basic shooting functions of the PowerShot A510 and has additional or more advanced functions as well except omitting Tv (Shutter-Priority AE) and Av (Aperture-Priority AE) in the shooting mode.The recording pixels now include a "Widescreen" feature that has the same aspect ratio as so-called 16:9 widescreen TVs for shooting wide images. Adding ISO [800] has resulted in a faster shutter speed even when shooting in dark environments. The Color Accent mode and Color Swap mode that transform colors when shooting have been added to the Special Scene mode. The new "My Colors" in the FUNC. menu is used to change the look and feel of the pictures when shooting. With the newly added "Standard", "Compact", "Color Accent" and "Color Swap" in the movie mode, it is easier to select modes to meet the purpose. In the Standard mode, digital zoom while recording movies is available.

 Ok, but not great September 28, 2009
Michelle Messer (Bailey CO)
This is a great camera for outdoor shots, or very well-lit indoor shots, but if the flash is used indoors for any reason, it makes the picture look like we live in a dark cave - very fake lighting.
My other problem is that it eats through batteries like there's no tomorrow. About every 10 pictures or 1 video its demanding fresh batteries and it takes alot longer to get to where it can take a picture. Not great when I want to capture scrapbook-able moments with my 3 young'uns. I'm missing alot. In the grand scheme of things, I really dislike this camera. It has too many features I'll never use because I'm too busy being frustrated with the features I DO use.
 Great camera ! July 27, 2009

I got this camera as a Christmas present back in 2006. I've been using it solidly ever since, mostly for events (graduations, parties, etc), but also as a way to explore the city I live in. I have dropped it dozens of times, it's been knocked over, sat on, kicked, and always comes back with absolutely amazing pictures (many of my friends and family can't believe what can be done with this camera, despite its lack of manual lens control). In fact, I was just using it for a birthday party this weekend.
Last night, it was knocked from my hands - lens extended - and fell down a flight of brick steps. It returned a lens error message to me, and wouldn't turn on. Today, a friend of mine popped the lens back into place (it had apparently bent at an unhealthy angle), and it's back to working like it did on Christmas Day.
In short, I love this camera. My only recommendation would be to make sure you get good batteries, as mine seems to have slowly lost its edge with battery life over time. But that aside, this wonderful camera seems to be nearly indestructible, and takes great pictures to boot. Cannon has won a lifetime customer.
