 The little camera that could July 18, 2009
Sharon T. Young
I've had this little Powershot A410 for years. It fits well in my purse or pocket, so it is with me ALWAYS. I also have a Canon Powershot S3IS that is a "more advanced" point and shoot.
Lately I have been getting the bug to upgrade to a DSLR and most likely will in the next month. I have also been looking at small point & shoots to replace the A410.
I have just realized that would be a waste of money. This little camera produces images that are just as good (and sometimes better) than the other Canon or other shots I see taken with expensive cameras.
Twice now this camera has gotten completely soaking wet....and it's fine! Just the other day, I dropped it on some rocks ...hard .... and it's just fine!
There is nothing negative about this great little oldie but goodie!
good camera May 29, 2009
John C. Chandler (indianapolis)
i haven't used the camera a lot...but when i have it has worked out just fine. my "old" digital camera is just that...old. i have had it for over 10 years. although it is much larger than my "new" camera - i have to admit i am more comfortable using it. the old camera doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the new one --- that is something that is hard for me to get used to. but the canon a410 is a really good camera for a fairly low price. i am happy with my purchase.
3 Year Old Camera; Review January 28, 2009

I've had this camera for 3 years now. I use AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries. Never a problem with the camera or the batteries (I got the Sony brand that comes with the charger). You'll probably need to buy batteries, a larger memory card, and perhaps a case. This camera will not take SD cards that are "HC" (high capacity). Those cards are usually 4GB and higher.
Picture resolutions this camera can capture:
2048 x 1536
1600 x 1200
1024 x 768
640 x 480
There are 3 Modes you can enable, 1) Superfine, 2) Fine, and 3) Normal. These settings change the JPEG compression. Superfine has little to no compression. And Normal will have the most compression. If you lower the setting to "Normal", you can decrease the file sizes and fit more pictures on your SD card and take more pictures.
This camera will show you the amount of pictures you can take at a particular setting. For example, with a 512MB SD card, at the highest resolution of 2048x1536 and set at "Superfine", it will take 302 pictures. At 2048x1536, and set at "Normal" it will take 1066 pictures. If you have used up half your card disk space, it will account for that and display the amount of pictures you can take.
It can capture movies/videos. They will not have sound though. Below are the dimensions:
640 x 480 at 10 FPS
320 x 240 at 20 FPS
FPS = Frames Per Second
The 320x240 videos look good and run a lot smoother because of the higher frames per second.
Also has common features like Macro, Supermacro, indoor/outdoor settings, etc.
I'll never buy another digital camera till this one breaks down. I use to think the megapixels of the camera meant it would take better pictures. However, that is incorrect. That only means it will take higher resolution pictures, which doesn't necessarily mean better pictures. If you do a lot of printing or print larger than 8.5 x 11, then megapixels would matter. I stopped caring about that since I rather have a camera just take quality pictures. If I were printing posters or something, I'd care.
It is fairly simply to use.
Just Right December 26, 2008

I got this camera in 2005 and it is now 2008 and it has been everywhere with me! We've gone skiing, went to Niagara falls (this camera survived maid of the mist boat ride), several zoos, conventions, graduations, microbiology laboratory ect. This thing has stayed working in all sorts of weather after much tumbling around in my handbag. I take it to school and work every day. I've never had any problems with it - ever. The menus and functions are user-friendly. The flash is just right (not harsh) and never makes my face look shiny like so many other cameras do. The zoom is awesome and the self-timer can be custom set in many ways!
Tip: use rechargeable batteries rather than regular. This camera went through my AAs very quickly during long events (half day and full day events called for at least one battery change). Now, with the $20 rechargeable 2500mAh batteries, I only run out of power every few months no matter how many or long my photo-ops last! It's been great!
One question, though. Why is there a video feature if the camera cannot record audio (sound)??? I never use the video feature because of this.
This camera takes great pictures, is durable, and is my best friend. Thank you Canon!
Excellent entry camera September 19, 2008
K. Seso (USA)
More than excellent image quality for recreational use. I used it on my trips and gotten very satisfactory results, but blurry and grainy in most night shots, like most cameras. Colors become more vivid than real life. Printouts made w/ ip1500 inkjet is good but slightly grainier than film. Navigation is fast and super easy. Features I find useful: Adjustable gamma, brightness, several fun color tweaks, selectable light tones, macro/super macro, auto/manual flash, rapid shots, 5/10sec timer, panorama, LCD screen on/off, tripod mount, auto standby.
The deal breakers: If priced at $100 and over, I'd spend 50 more for new models like one with higher resolution, lithium battery, and a flatter profile (not for looks, but for the placement of the trigger). Picture can be grainy even in warmly lit living rooms, but that's a problem w/ all camera even w/ some SLRs. Just use flash(but drains power to ~15 shots).
