The Canon PowerShot A640 10 megapixel
digital camera has been described as "bursting with creative
options". This sounds a bit optimistic, but it's actually true. Canon has
put together a great digital camera for photo enthusiasts, and it won't even
leave you with an empty wallet.
Professionals and photography teachers
alike use the Canon PowerShot A640 as their "walking around" camera
for everyday use. The quality of the pictures is undeniable, especially when
printing. The Canon PowerShot A640 receives high marks for its 11x14 printed
photos, with users often calling the quality of the pictures
"incredible". If you do a lot of photo printing, this could be the
digital camera for you.
As mentioned before, the Canon PowerShot
A640 is a 10 megapixel digital camera. It has 4x optical and digital zoom
capabilities. The camera's minimum focal length is 7.3mm, with a maximum focal
length of 29.2mm. The minimum shutter speed is 15 seconds, with a maximum of
1/2500 of a second. Images are produced in JPEG format.
The Canon PowerShot A640 has automatic and
manual focus modes, as well as programmed, automatic, manual, aperture
priority, and shutter priority exposure settings. This guarantees great shots
in any level of light. And with a 2.5 inch LCD and real-image zoom,
photographers can preview their shots in great detail.
Like many of its peers, the Canon PowerShot
A640 has a frame video mode and self-timer for those who want to include
themselves in their pictures. The camera has 32MB onboard memory and is
compatible with SDHC Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, and SD memory cards. It comes
with a wrist strap along with A/V and USB cables. At 8 ounces in weight and 2.6
in x 4.3 in x 1.9 in (HxWxD), the PowerShot A640 is about average in size.
What do PowerShot A640 owners think about
their cameras? By and large, they are thrilled with their purchase. Some do
point out that certain extra features are available, but only at an additional
cost. For example, the A640 has no image stabilization, no information in the
viewfinder, and no RAW setting. To get these extra features, customers have to
spend extra money – approximately $200 more.
Some users complain that their photos lose
quality when taken in low light situations. Wide angles and close-ups are
subject to barrel distortion in any light. Others share their unhappiness about
seemingly small things, such as the wrist strap being too near the USB port, or
the battery cover seeming a little flimsy. One should note, however, that there
have been no reports of customers needing to replace their A640 due to any
defects or physical damage.
The Canon PowerShot A640 is about on par
with similar cameras in its price range, but it stands apart because of the
high recommendations it has earned from people who know digital cameras well.
The A640 sells for approximately $300 US
.
